Mission Impossible 4 Review

I went to see Mission Impossible 4 on Monday, and I really enjoyed it.  The acting was excellent, and I liked the fact the movie concentrated on the team itself.  I am glad that this film finally realized that there is no "Tom" in TEAM! (Cyrus, Spill.com)  This film did not focus on what a hero Ethan Hunt is, but it showed how strong and dedicated the team was in this film.

The IMF team is blamed for the bombing at the Kremlin, and they are disavowed by the U.S. government.  They have to figure out who framed them, and they have to stop a nuclear war from breaking out.

Well, what are the good things? Of course, I have to mention the fact that the team is the main focus in the film.  This team is great. We have the stereotypical computer nerd, the hot, tough chick, the leader, and a agent with a dark past.  I thought that it would not work, but it does.  There are the many funny moments in the film.  I loved the part when Tom Cruise and Simon Pegg are trying to hide behind a computer generated hologram and Pegg's head gets in the way of the camera.  SO FUNNY!  The comedy in between the suspense worked very well. I really loved that they had a car chase in a sandstorm.  That was AWESOME! The drama in the movie made the impossible seem possible.  The scene where Tom Cruise is hanging on the building was filled with so much suspense, it seemed so real, and it engulfed the audience.  

Well, what are the bad things?  It was difficult to tell who the villain was.  First, it's a French assassin, then it's a Russian brute, and then it's a Russian government official.  Some of the scenes did feel rushed at times. I did not like the beginning credits.  They felt out of place.  In my opinion, they should have been placed at the end of the film.  They included scenes from the entire film, and I thought that some of scenes in the beginning credits could have spoiled the film for some people.  

I won't give away the end.  NO SPOILERS HERE!  :)

Other than those few complaints, the film was very entertaining.  I loved every single moment.  That is what a movie should be.  It can have fights and big budget special effects, but the film must be entertaining at the same time.  And this film does it very well.  I will definitely buy this film on DVD when it comes out.  I definitely suggest that people go see this movie.  It gets an "A-" from me.  GO SEE IT.

Whether the movie is good or bad, I'm the Movie Rant Reviewer.  I rant about it, because no one else will.

New Updates

I hope that everyone had a Happy Holidays this past week.  I have been busy editing my Disney Princess Video Review.  I had to film it at school and I am editing the footage right now.  Christmas for me was okay.  I spent it celebrating my grandpa's birthday, and it was fun seeing my family after a semester of college.  So far I got mostly A's in my classes.  This is amazing for me.  I am so happy that I have survived my first semester of college.

I have been catching up on sleep that I missed out on from studying for finals.  I am still mad that I had an exam the day before Christmas Eve.  What kind of crap is that?  Anyway, I was happy to just take in the scent of my bed.  It's so comfy, and I am happy to eating my dad's food.  YUMMY!  I am still making changes to the format of my website.  I will probably be done by the end of next week.  I am hoping that I will be able to post my videos on the Yola website, BlogSpot, YouTube, Tumblr, and Blip.tv.  I have high hopes for movie reviewers like myself and others on the Internet.

For my month long Winter Break, I will be doing video reviews with a friend who is majoring in film here in my hometown.  We will be filming the reviews together.  For the month of January, it will be called, "Twilight Rip-Off Month."  I have two films that I will do.  They are "Never Cry Werewolf" and "Blood Red Moon." I am thinking about doing "Vampires Suck", but I am still not sure if I can get it.  Let me know if you all have any other suggestions.  I think I'll probably do "Vampegeddon" too (still thinking about it as well). Thanks everyone!  Happy Holidays to those who are still celebrating.

Finally Good News

Hey guys!  I have some good news to tell you.  YouTube disable the block on my "La Boum" review.  You can go and watch the video on YouTube or blip.tv, if you would like.  Thank you for everyone who reads these posts.  I enjoy writing every post on this blog.

As I said in the previous blog, I will start filming the "Top 5" list tomorrow.  Since I have much between today and my French final on Friday, I may even do the "Ratatoing" review as well.  We won't keep our hopes up for that until Christmas Break.  Thanks everyone!

The "La Boum" review is in French.  Sorry to those who don't  speak French. This was for my French class.  The other reviews will be in English.  This is my first attempt at a movie review with my friends, so please cut us some slack.  The bloopers are in English.  :)

Bad News Guys :(

Hello everyone!  I have not had time to write in the last two weeks because of finals.  Okay, I have good news and bad news.  The good news is that I plan to do a "Top 5" list this month on Disney and Non-Disney princesses who deserve to have a "I Want More" song.  I have already written the script, and I plan to film it tomorrow and Tuesday.  It should only take two days to film at most.  Okay, the bad news that I lost my video review for the Christmas carol review.  I cannot find it on my computer, and I am so mad right now! I have searched high and low for it, and it has just disappeared.  I am sorry for this.  I have to keep telling myself that there is always next year, and fortunately, I still have the script.  Sorry guys.  I feel so bad that I lost it!  AARRGGHH!

Anyways, I will film the Top 5 review tomorrow, and January (during Christmas Break) is when I will redo the Ratatoing review.  If you guys have any suggestions on movies I should review please let me know.  ARGGH!  I can't get over that I lost the video.  Sorry again guys.

I have been taking finals for college, and they're going okay.  I love the fact that I can go to Pandora, listen to Christmas music (Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, Johnny Mathis, etc.), and study at the same time.  I do feel drained, but luckily, the only final that I have left is French.  However, that final is this Friday.  >:(

Who the hell decided to have a final on December 23rd?  Who the hell made a final exam the day before Christmas Eve?  Someone of us do have to travel home. Just idiots!  I am still in the process on creating my website with Yola.  So if you don't see anything on the site, that's because I am still making drafts of the design and figuring out what I will post on it.

Thank you everyone who reads my blogs, and I wish you all a Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanzaa, Happy Hanukkah, and Happy Holidays.  In the words on the Angry Video Game Nerd, if that does not satisfy you then "Happy Shut the Fuck Up!"

New Website

Hello everyone!  I decided to check out the website yola.com.  I created a website with them, and it is called http://movierantreviewer.yolasite.com/.  Check it out if you would like to.  The script for my Christmas special is underway.  However, I found that it is going through so many changes.  I think that I going to do a Christmas Carol theme review.  The three movies that I am doing will be like the ghost of Christmas Past, Present, and Future.  There will be changes to the names of these "ghosts".  It's underway and I am so happy to be doing this.  It will be a continuation themed review.

Updates

Man I haven't written a blog in a while.  Sorry guys, I have just been bombarded with so much work.  I currently getting ready for finals now.  I had three midterms and two big paper due.  Anyways, I just wanted to bring you all some updates.  The "Ratatoing" review had to be postponed for the reason that I have listed above.  What I am going to do instead is set up a month long Christmas movie review-a-thon.  What I am going to do is called "The Movie Rant Review's Three Weeks of Christmas."  The first week of December will be "Ratatoing", the second week will be "The Little Mermaid 2", and the third week will be a review on "Jospeh: King of Dreams".  Okay I promise to do this.  No more postponing!

I know this is late, but let me tell you how my Thanksgiving Break was.  Coming back home was fun at first until I got the flu.  My family and I went to Black Friday (it's not worth going to at all!!).  In the store I started feeling sick and had to go the bathroom.  The lines were packed, and I had to knock down an old woman to get in a stall (sorry old woman). I threw up unfortunately.  I know that's gross so I'll spare you the those details.  While I was on the bathroom floor dying, my mother (who has a terrible case of mysophobia!) (I love her though) was yelling at me to not touch the toilet seat while I was throwing up.  Now picture this situation.  You are sick, throwing up, dehydrated, and about to faint.  Your mother is yelling at you to not touch the toilet seat while you're throwing.  You'd be hugging that porcelain throne like it was gold.  Then the next day, my throat was hurting.  This week from Sunday to  Tuesday, I was running a fever, having headaches, coughing my lungs up, and dying.  I'm better now, but that was one hell of a Thanksgiving Break.  I could not even eat the Thanksgiving meal!  :(


Anyways, I am back in school and happy it's Friday.  If anyone starts singing that "abomination of musical notes" song, I will shoot them down!

If you guys have any suggestions please feel free to leave comments.  Thanks everybody.
