“Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One” is just incredibly fun. It feels half its length and contains enough memorable action sequences for some entire franchises. Will Cruise save the blockbuster experience again? Maybe.

it's a special movie deserving of its own kind of event and worth appreciating. Only Tom Cruise makes movies like this, and you either understand why this is pretty wonderful or you should give yourself the chance to find out why.

I watched the movie Oppenheimer by Christopher Nolan. I had high expectations for this movie. It was great, but it did not quite achieve the expectations. There was a lot of drama, which was indeed nice, but I got a documentary feel about the movie in some places. The detailing in each frame was impressive. The blast is the highlight of the movie since it was not CGI generated and was physically created on a smaller scale. It was interesting to find out about the life of Oppenheimer. I loved the inclusion of Einstein in the movie. If I compare Nolan’s prior movies, this film isn’t the best of all his films. But it is a definite watch.

Last movie that would be Transformers : Rise of the beasts. I like adventure movies, I enjoyed and thrilled by the adventure stories. The bum bum sound when the action take part made me want to jump and acted like the hero.

My husband and I watched "The Burial" last night on Amazon Prime. Our niece and her husband had recommended it and it did not disappoint! I have to say that it reminded me a lot of the book of the month "The Impossible Mock Orange Trial". Based on a true story, you have a funeral home operator coming against a huge corporation with greed and corruption galore. It was heartbreaking and unbelievable. A solid 10 out of 10. Tommy Lee Jones and Jamie Fox star in this dramatic courtroom thriller.

The last movie I saw was Neptune Frost by Anisia Uzeyman and Saul Williams. It's a sci-fi fantasy film that came out late 2021. It was in its own genre but to compare it's level of strangeness I would have to place it next to A Clockwork Orange or the Yellow Submarine.

I am a fan of Saul Williams poetry, specifically his poetry book "Said the shotgun to the head". That is the only reason why I watched the film. The way it was filmed was beyond spectacular. It was the actual story plot that was hard to follow. I don't want to break the rules on this thread but imagine a musical written in 2083. That's what watching Neptune Frost feels like. I would suggest this film for adults only not because of profanity of obscene sexual content, but because of its controversial topics of contention. It just takes a mature mind to absorb what the film is hinting at regardless of what political background that mature mind comes from. I would rate Neptune Frost an 8.8 out of 10. 10 being the best film ever made. It was so creative that it made me think about how stories are traditionally told, and frankly, feel embarrassed by the boring nature of my conditioned palate.

Highly recommended sober or with a glass of 2 of your wine of choice.

The last movie I saw was Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway. It's an emotional movie based on a true life story. It's a movie I'd love to watch again and again.

For sure I will add it to my watch list. This week I didn't watch anything, I'm trying to be focused on readings.

I don't know what is happening with my brain, but I'm not in the mood to watch anything like that.
I enjoy adventure movies and fiction. These days I have no patience at all.
Also, I'm with no patience with long movies. What happened with 90-minute movies?

I know it’s really old, but the last movie I saw recently was Gladiator. For some reason this movie has become a no brainer for me every time I need to lift myself up. I can’t get enough of Russel Crow’s iconic scene of when he reveals his identity to the Emperor in the 2nd half. Haven’t come across an epic scene like that in any movie.

last movie i saw was sherlock holmes and found it quite entertaining because of the conversation and medical banter between sherlock and dr watson. they had quite the relationship from a medical standpoint and humorous investigative attitude solving crimes committed by professor Moriarty and the devious world of england at that time in history where crime, immorality and devious behavior exuded prevalent.

OMG 2 - 9/10

What I love about both movies is the theme of divine compassion and understanding. The lead characters are someone you might not expect God to help. In the first it was God in the form of Krishna. The second was supposed to be Shiva. However, because the story is centered on sex education, censors demanded it be changed to Shiva's messenger. The filmmaker left in clues that it's really supposed to be Shiva though, like how Shiva's bull, Nandi, is shown with the messenger character a few times.

The sequel tackles heavy subject matter really well. I like that the film has a father being there for his son. The mother and sister are there for him too. So there's that family support element. I'm not sure if the first or second film is more complex but they definitely can challenge your thinking in a good way. I'd like to see at least one more movie for it to be a trilogy. They could call it The Divine Compassion trilogy.
