Arms dealer John Lark and a group of terrorists known as the Apostles plan to use three plutonium cores for a simultaneous nuclear attack on the Vatican, Jerusalem and Mecca, Saudi Arabia. When the weapons go missing, Ethan and his crew find themselves in a desperate race against time to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands.-WWW Director: Christopher McQuarrie Music composed by: Lorne Balfe Producers: Tom Cruise, Christopher McQuarrie, Dana Goldberg, J.J. Abrams, David Ellison, Don Granger Cast from Wikipedia : Although this is not the best Mission Impossible franchise ever, but according to some it is, the scenes were nail-biting, most especially the ones in high places(before transferring to our original seats and theatre, we were able to have a...

( source ) My eleven-year-old nephew loves to play BORDERLANDS , which incidentally was featured in this trailer: The movie is stupendous, spectacular, exciting, nail biting and a lot of other superlatives that you could think of in a positive way.  It's like Christopher Nolan's INCEPTION, but not.  It is designed for the younger viewers that even older ones would appreciated.  As one of the critics mentioned(not verbatim), it's a Steven Spielberg 1980s movie at its best. The music and the games are from the 1970s and 1980s.  John Hughes films are mentioned and a whole lot more. Since Ernest Cline is also one of the screenwriters, he was able to convey to Steven Spielberg how he envisioned it to be, and thankfully, Mr. Spielberg interpreted it very well and even made Mr. Cline's imagination more believable. The movie and the story is set in the future around twenty-seven years from now.  It's a dystopian future...to live in the mind or...

( source ) The Easter Eggs and References in Star Trek: Beyond  “Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations”, a Vulcan saying. This film is awesome.  I am not a certified Trekkie, but I have been watching the Star Trek series since I was little.  When Patrick Stewart "took over", I seldom watched it.  It wasn't because I did not like him, but I just didn't have time to watch his series all of the time. When Star Trek rebooted, I decided to watch it again.  I like the way it was retold, but of course, even with the close to lousy(but hi-tech during their time) special effects, nothing really beats the original. It's a good thing that the original members of the cast are still honored "here" and it's good to meet new members as well. A pleasant addition to the cast is Sofia Boutella, an Algerian dancer/actress/gymnast.  She has lots of fight scenes and her moves are graceful, but fierce. The best lines were uttered ...

We were very psyched to watch MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: ROGUE NATION since it was announced and we are glad that we watched it at The CommerCenter Cinemas, Filinvest, Alabang.  I like the feel of the place and the sound system is good.  The staff's very friendly and helpful. I am not really a fan of Tom Cruise, but I am an avid fan of the Mission Impossible series and some of his other movies.  Sadly, like a lot of things I have written, my pieces are lost somewhere in cyberspace and as for those files inadvertently deleted by some people close to me, they are now lost in outer space. Even if I am not a fan of Mr. Cruise, I am very impressed with him.  At fifty-three, he is very fit, fast and you cannot discount the fact that he is very handsome and looks young for his age. He is a good actor and he definitely is Ethan Hunt. Oh yes, he is.  His team, although a few of them are left, is still very, very reliable.   Ale...
