Theater Whore: Mission Impossible Rogue Nation

Mission Impossible Rogue Nation 8/10

Its hard to believe it but that last Mission Impossible movie was four years ago. This new one Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation was a pretty damned fun action movie that had me wrong many times. This will have some spoilers by the way. You know that scene with the plane in the trailer? That is the very damned beginning of the movie so you know its gonna be crazy from the start. In this Ethan Hunt played by Tom Cruise is on the run from everyone trying to prove that this group called the Syndicate has been causing all of these assassinations and attacks.

While getting information about a new mission Ethan is captured and about to have his shit wrecked by this guy named Bone Doctor which is never a good thing especially when he shows up with a case full of sharp and poundy objects. He ends up being saved by this fucking cool ass woman named Ilsa Faust played by Rebecca Ferguson. Whenever someone complains about movies not having enough bad ass women I think they are watching the wrong films. I see plenty of them. She helps him get away by pretending he escaped.

Theater Whore: The World's End

The World's End is one of those movies where as soon as its finished you have to see it again. The first half is almost like a totally different film than how it is. Actually, its not almost. It is. It starts off with Gary King played by Simon Pegg realizing while he is in a support group that the best night of his life when he and his group of friends did not complete a pub crawl called The Golden Mile. He decides that he is going to contact all of his friends and relive it but completing it this time.

He tracks down his friends that he has not seen in decades. Gary Peter Page is played by Eddie Marsan, Oliver "O-Man" Chamberlain played by Martin Freeman, Steven Prince is played by Paddy Considine, and Andy Knightley is portrayed by Nick Frost. He convinces them to come along as they head to their old town. All of his friends have moved on with their lives and have wives, kids, or jobs. King has not changed at all and they don't like it.
