Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation

Aug5

Rebecca Ferguson makes this movie great. Without her, it would have been just another Mission: Impossible flick. The stunts and the filming process are also most excellent!

Ant-Man

Jul22

When Ant-Man is little bitty, this movie is pretty cool.

“Playing Disintegration by The Cure”

Cartel Land

Jul15

If you live in a place that is relatively free of corruption, and the government supports the rule of law, be thankful. This film will take you to places that you don’t want to be. It is a lesson in humanity, both good and bad – but real.

“I really quickly realized the lines between good and evil are quite blurry. The story ended up going to places I never dreamed of.” – Matt Heineman, Director of the documentary

Inside Out

Jul7

This one is an emotional journey, and I might have cried a little bit. It is a good movie for those who fight to never lose their youthful exuberance.

From the credits:

“This film is dedicated to our kids. Please don’t grow up. Ever.”

Jurassic World

Jun15

Dinosaur fights are the best.

“We need more teeth”

180° South

May25

It rained all day today, and you may have read some news about flooding in Texas. I spent my day on the computer and managed to squeeze in a swim at the community pool in between rain showers. I watched “180° South” on Netflix, and this is a pretty good adventure movie. The scenes in Easter Island are awesome, and they made me want to travel there someday.

“The best journeys answer questions that in the beginning you didn’t even think to ask.”

Mad Max: Fury Road

Mad Max: Fury Road

Intense. Insane. Incredibly filmed.

“What are you doing?”
“Praying.”
“To who?”
“Anyone who’s listening.”

Clouds of Sils Maria

May12

My favorite part of this movie was learning about the natural phenomena of “Das Wolkenphänomen von Maloja” or the “Maloja Snake”. This is a cloud bank that moves its way along a valley in the Alps and has been compared to a giant dragon or the largest boa constrictor in the world. The scenery in the Alps is absolutely wonderful!
