The Profit - Its Back

 Unlike the guy below, I got less hair and I am Ok even if i am angry. I just quit to be your business partner.
 As for me, Dont make me angry. I hate tearing this good suit.
The host who looks like Hulk in real life (Mark Rufalo) is back !

Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation

"Benji ! Open the door !"
"Desperate times requires desperate measures"
To be rerun again as the Blue Ray copy is out. You cant let a good movie down.
REVIEW 
Some say this is the best cinema's Mission Impossible Ethan Hunt's adventure. But some would say it still fell short of Ghost Protocol (the previous one). But it all depends on who's seeing it. Anyway, for Rogue Nation it is a great effort from the director who is also the writer of the film who also directed Edge of Tommorow and Jack Reacher who, as you may have guessed it, also stars Tom Cruise. Its no surprise on how the network works in Hollywood, isnt it ?
Now what about the film ?
You are thrilled all right from the start till the end. There is also the "Spy James Bond" movie type element which was the Opera scene which was non in other MI movies. And the motorbike chase scene was very scarry and looks real indeed. Not other action you know relying on CGIs. Well the producer Tom Cruise did those all by himself including the plane hanging, BMW car ride and the water scene. This is what commitment really means.
But for the thought, all IMFs (except Luther)  are of the same short height - Cruise, Pegg, Rainer including Ferguson too.
Aside from the action the strength also lies on how Teamwork can win the day. Dont forget friendship and loyalty especially Hunt and the team saving poor Benji who was kidnapped. How simple the thank from Ilsa to Hunt is also memorable as we dont know if Hunt is still married or not in this outing.
Some science fact you cant comprehend but thats what a movie is all about. One example was how Hunt can survive a 3 min no oxygen underwater. He could come out alive but brain damage in real life. But thats a movie is all about.
One thing for sure, you dont have to take MI movies seriously unlike current James Bond movie. Thats the fun and its edge.

No Escape

REVIEW
This is a film of human courage (family spirit to be more exact) against all odds in the face of tragedy (in this case man made tragedy - country civil war). Thou it was never told which country this happened, our guess is it happened in Thailand.
Pierce Brosnan is in the movie and from the poster our guess is he play the shooting guy. And we are right but how heroic he was is quite real as he get unlike when he was working with MI6.
The action did not dissapoint and there was some scarry ones. But the action was not overdone. Wilson and Bell played their part as responsible parents well. Unlike J Bateman in The Gift, thou O Wilson played a serious part in this one, certain parts we can glimpse the comedic actor he is. but thats ok for it did not spoil the film.
A good movie overall in its genre.

PreviewReview :
Why this movie ? well Jason Bateman is in it. Not much fan of Rebecca Hall unless she tone down her body a bit (little heavy in IronMan3) and Edgerton (heard but cant remember). Nevertheless, good reviews for this movie online. Hope it will not disappoint.
REVIEW
One joke before we start reviewing this movie. This is not a superhero movie despite having Bateman and Robynn in it ! (Got it ??)
Well to start with, kudos to Gordo in real life who is Joel Edgarton. He did not only act but also direct and wrote this film. And not many can do that. A few did it and get shitty in all departments.
Jason Bateman can act a serious role without imagining that he is actually a comedy based actor. Rebeca Hall, what can I say, she is tall, looks like Anne Hathaway and slimmer than in Iron Man 3, good for her.
But why jogging in the middle of the road (even when you are pregnant!). Must be no cars in the neighbourhood.
One good morale of the story is that when you grew up being a bully, you cant really believe what other people are saying because you lie all the time.
But who's the bad guy - Simon or Gordo or maybe both of them ? Simon we realised towards the end of the movie he's a bad guy and never stop being one especially when he falsified Danny just to get his promotion. But Gordo is really a sicko after all as he actually stalked Robynn from the footage in the video and with police record. But is he the father of Robyn's child, not a big deal for they can do a DNA test. There's no indication that he raped Robynn in the video. He did not admit to that anyway.
So "what comes around goes around" apply here.
The movie thought of going bad from the beginning but it picked up as we go along and Yes we got mystified after all.   

Upcoming movies

Chosed this because of the plot and concept thou low in IMDB ratings

Because of the actors Wilson, Bell and Brosnan. Slight miss the 7.0 imdb benchmark

Unknown but good ratings in IMDB. And its a comedy. Hard to find a good comedy these days.
