One Day PG-13

Miscasting.

First off I wanted to use the

Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol PG-13

I was going to say this is perfunctory fare but its not. Its pretty darned good. I cant say if I have bothered to watch any mission impossible film since the first one but I had read good reviews of this so I got it out.

TBH the bluray adds nowt, this would have looked the same in DVD. And as I have surround sound on the dvd maybe even better. I wonder if I can hook the bluray up to the home cinema system?

Anyway, Cruise is short and old and probably shouldnt be throwing himself around with gay abandon any more. He's still ripped though and thinks he's mr Top gun so what the fuck - do what you want Mr Cruise!

Jeremy Renner isnt bad, either Simon Pegg. In fact they stop Tom Cruise from boring you to death with his dialogue,

in short - watch it, its really not bad at all.

Well this was a surprise. I can honestly say I didnt expect to like this film and it blew me away. At the end of the film I was in floods of tears. This film was superb. I've had this in my to watch box for some time, perhaps because my XBMC couldnt find the poster for it the film didnt look like it was worth watching with just a still from the movie to highlight it. Nevertheless going through my collection last night I decided to give it a go. I must say I wasn't too impressed to begin with, the film seemed to be about a director going on a bender getting drunk and trying to sleep with lots of women but it developed nicely and used the time jumping style of flitting between different periods of time without ever confusing you too much. The acting was good, the film was funny and emotionally engaging. There was much to praise in the storyline above all and I really felt for Noah when he found out the cancer had come back and he couldn't tell his wife who proceeded to go off at him for being aloof and so on. I'm sure this storyline has been done before but I have to say it worked for me anyway. The only surprise for me is that this film hasn't gathered more praise and attention as I thoroughly enjoyed it. This is a good example of British film making and the kind of stuff they do best. There should be more of this.
