No Mission Impossible Takeover?

  I loved Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. I was on the fence about seeing it until The Dark Knight Rises prologue was attached to the beginning of the IMAX version.

  I’m thrilled to say I’m glad I accepted the mission. The latest IMF adventure was the best in the series in part because the great chemistry of a dynamic team: Tom Cruise, Jeremy Renner, Paula Patton and Simon Pegg.

  Renner is dismissing rumors that he is taking over the franchise as the lead character. The star told Reuters that he heard the rumors and “there’s no taking over,” according to MSN Movies.

  Renner will play Hawkeye in The Avengers and take over the lead in the Jason Bourne series. Renner will not be playing the same character Matt Damon portrayed in the first three films. The Bourne Legacy is a continuation of the series starring Renner.

  One more thing about Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. It will so cool seeing Josh Holloway again. Holloway owns the screen in his brief appearance as an IMF agent.

 Hollywood, please get this great, charismatic actor from Lost in new movies or a series again pronto!

The Dark Knight Rises Prologue Raises a Big Question

  Is there a connection between Bane and Harvey Dent? First, there was photo in Empire Magazine of Bane holding up Dent’s campaign photo. Second, Commissioner Gordon is eulogizing Dent in the The Dark Knight Rises IMAX prologue followed by an action piece featuring Bane that would impress James Bond.

  I will not give any spoilers away but the prologue is astounding. After seeing it – I really feel anything could happen including the much rumored breaking of Batman. The only trouble is – I couldn’t tell you what Tom Hardy said, but he said it very menacingly.

  Batmaniacs, come for The Dark Knight Rises prologue stay for Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. Brad Bird directed one of the best super hero movies ever, The Incredibles, and now he’s given us the best MI film. The latest adventure is stylish, gripping and fun with the grittiest mission yet. Ethan Hunt’s rogue team must clear their names and save the world in a plot that’s familiar but makes sense – an MI first. Cruise, Patton, Pegg, and Renner are a perfect foursome each delivering great elements to form a great team.
