Just watched Captain Philips starring Tom Hanks โ€“ true story about a cargo ship that gets taken over by Somali pirates. Without knowing the story beforehand, the movie was A+. Felt super accurate, none of the Hollywood tropes, just matter of fact dramatization of what happened.

Mission Impossible 3 was a bajillion times better than 2. A whole different movie lol. Jesus christ, Mission Impossible 2 was bad. So many ridiculous moments. TV writing plus filmed like a kung-fu movie, oh my๐Ÿ˜‚

Red Cliff was a solid Chinese war/historical movie. Saw the shorter U.S. version unfortunately, not the 4-5hr long Chinese version. Felt kinda like LoTR and 300, very stylized. Packed with action, awesome cinematography, beautiful shots of China, and actually not beating you over the head with CCP worship (no way! Lol)

Drunken Master with young Jackie Chan was amazing. Finally got around to watching it. Peak skill and athleticism from all actors. When the theme music came on.. oh man oh man. You knew shit was going down!

Oh and I watched Life with Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Reynolds. Goddang that was a terrible movie. I thought it was space horror, kinda like dead space or something. But these NASA top of the class astronauts were SO dumb and melodramatic, sat around crying and in their feels for half the movie. Like get your shit together, people! The death scenes were ok. The alien design sucked (based on what the cells can do, why does it need a face?) The ending felt cheap, not earned. (Sci-fi horror movie with Ryan Reynolds, I shoulda known...๐Ÿ˜‚.) Give me Alien or Event Horizon any day!
