Sorry but the very first film ruined the old TV series

Spoiler:

Especially when they decided to turn JIm Phelps into the arch villain

Plus I am not a fan of Tom Cruise, because of the Scientology issues. If I recall he was ordered to divorce his first wife, a Catholic, because she would not convert to Scientology, and he obeyed those cult leaders.

Well, I disagree.

I have no comment on other people's beliefs and know nothing about Tom Cruise's private life beyond celebrity gossip and comments from sources "close to Mr Cruise". I think he's the consummate film star.

…Twisters……I’m not sure if it’s a follow on movie from Twister in the 90’s but it was pretty ok, actually…I haven’t seen Maura Tierney in any movie/series for a while so it was nice to see her as Kate’s mom…the twister scenes were pretty good but they were quite fleeting and went by in a whirlwind…I’d say a solid 6.5/10…weather phenomenons have such a fascination ….

Seemed like a sort of remake i thought

…yeah, maybe it was…I wasn’t sure if Kate’s mom/Maura Tierney was meant to be the original Helen Hunt character, but I think that was just a twist(er) I would have liked to have seen…

I just googled it and they its a stand alone sequel so connected to the universe but not the original characters

…I do like that type of movie and loved Twister……so I did enjoy it but Twister is still the best for me…the characters in this felt as though they stayed a bit surface and just didn’t have the same depth as they did in Twister…

…Trap……I don’t know what I thought of it tbh…it was ok, I didn’t dislike it as such but I had such expectations of a great character role with Josh Hartnett in it/he’s such a generally watchable actor, but I didn’t find him believable in this…that split good/evil personality just didn’t quite get there in terms of sinister and the nail biting bits were more nail nibbling for me…maybe a 5/10, it was ok but just didn’t work for me…

Spoiler:

…the ending obviously left the way for a sequel…no, not again…

[emseateng2014]

rewatched both volcano and dantes peak

[Livia]

Meg 2. A good romp, a bit silly but enjoyable. 6.5/10

Yeah, and it still worked so well. I'm a big fan of Cruise, but also Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg and Rebecca Ferguson.

[Ammi]

…The Brutalist……I mean, it was vast/expansive at around three and a half hours…but it really didn’t feel that at all and every moment was as absorbing as any previous….great story that took us through so many emotions and great performances especially from Adrien Brody and Guy Pearce who both totally owned their screen time…9/10……

[Livia]

Back in Action, Jamie Foxx, Cameron Diaz. Ex spies who left to raise a family are dragged back into the life. Good fun, not to be taken seriously. 7/10

[emseateng2014]

yup and i heard that there is gonna be new person taking over ethan hunt and tom cruise to be in the future mission impossible movies

…Die Alone……I thought that it was a good/enjoyable take on the zombie apocalypse storyline…Carrie-Anne Moss I think is such an underrated actress, her character carries the movie so well…I’m going to say 8/10 because I did enjoy it a lot……

Spoiler:

…I did guess the twist very early on with Mae being Emma and having aged but that Ethan hadn't aged… it was just after they apparently first met and were dancing and there was an intimate moment in that slow dance…but that didn’t spoil the storyline in thinking that was how it was…interesting that Carrie-Anne Moss was also in Memento because I felt the storylines had some parallels…one of the lines with Mae saying that she had a feasting bitch face…?…I think it’s more of a Poker face, it made her more perfect for the role as she has such a straight poker face when needed…

Don't see how that wouldn't bomb, to be honest.

Lilo & Stitch (2025)


maybe not as precise as the animated original, but SOOOOOOOOOOOOO ENJOYABLE!!!!! i dare even comparing it a little bit to the live action Sonic success in terms of entertainment levels


also the many Elvis Presley songs in there, as well as the record of Blue Hawaii

Spoiler:

the hound dog, and devil in disguise songs especially with their respective scenes

well made also such a perfect casting for Lilo, the cutest most adorable girl ever i think, and for her first acting role, she was literally phenomenal as Lilo



Zach Galifianakis as one of the bad guys though




all in all very great fun
