Weekend Movie - Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol

Wow. It's been a while. The end of the year has been nuts with work, my grandmother getting ill, and then of course the holidays. Luckily, I have had this week off so I have been able to breathe a little bit.

For awhile, there weren't any good movies out and then all of a sudden I want to see every movie ever! So I started off with Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol and it didn't disappoint in the least. This is definitely one of the few franchises that has been able to last through multiple sequels that have been just as amazing as the previous. Tom Cruise is looking a tiny bit old, but he did all of his own stunts so I guess he's not too old. Some of the things these writers come up with are just freaking awesome. And to make this movie even better, it's directed by a Pixar alum, Brad Bird. He directed The Incredibles. Who knew that someone could go from animation to live action without even skipping a beat. See this movie!

Ghost Protocol

Another Mission Impossible? Fine by me! I think Tom Cruise does well in action flicks because he doesn’t have to do much acting. But I also just like action flicks in general. Also, is that Pink and Eminem singing together? Kind of surprising. Either way, this movie looks like it could be awesome!

Weekend Movie - Knight and Day

This weekend went by way too fast for my taste, but at least I was able to get a movie in there. I went to see Knight and Day with Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz at the Arclight, which is the only place action movies should be viewed and it was pretty funny. If Tom Cruise wasn't so crazy, I would like him a lot more because he was perfect in this role, but then he steps out of character and opens his mouth and I don't like him anymore. I'm not the biggest fan of Cameron Diaz either, but she was good in this role as well. The movie was just funny. Tom Cruise has basically kidnapped Cameron Diaz and they run into a lot of adventure all because of this kid who invented a battery that could potentially power a small city. Interesting concept for sure, but very cute nonetheless.
