American Made: Based on a True LIE (R-13) 2017

Image
Barry Seal, a TWA pilot, is recruited by the CIA to provide reconnaissance on the burgeoning communist threat in Central America and soon finds himself in charge of one of the biggest covert CIA operations in the history of the United States. The operation spawns the birth of the Medellin cartel and  almost brings down the Reagan White House.-WWW Director :  Doug Liman Music composed by :  Christophe Beck Producers :  Ron Howard ,  Brian Grazer ,  Brian Oliver ,  Doug Davison ,  Tyler Thompson This is a SERIOUS movie.  Maybe there are a few funny  dialogues and situations, but this is NOT a funny movie.  It actually implicated a lot of political personalities like Ronald Reagan, George Bush, Bill Clinton and some others.  It's like a great coverup, except that the claim is, it is based on a TRUE LIE.  One could interpret this in so many ways.  Either this really happened, or the claim of...

(Source) Investigator Jack Reacher (Tom Cruise) springs into action after the arrest of Susan Turner (Cobie Smulders), an Army major accused of treason. Suspecting foul play, Jack embarks on a mission to prove that the head of his old unit is innocent. After crossing paths with the law, Reacher must now go o n the lam to uncover the truth behind a major government conspiracy that involves the death of U.S. soldiers.-World Wide Web From Danika Yarosh's IG This second Jack Reacher movie was based on Lee Child's 18th book of the Jack Reacher series. Before watching the film I was totally clueless that this was a series of books. I've seen the first movie several times on cable. Except for the Mission Impossible series and a couple of others, I haven't been so interested in watching a Tom Cruise film on the big screen ever since he broke off with Nicole Kidman and when I found out he is a Scientologist, which was unfair because I still watched John Travolta, ...

Mission Impossible: ROGUE NATION (2015)

Image
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...
