"I was in the coffin." "I was going to check there." "That would have been weird."
Today is G. And I had G's movie all picked out, then this evening my family and I watched another G movie which I surprised myself by liking - a lot. Therefore, I will be doing both movies.
"I found you!" "You dropped a building on me!"
The first movie is Game of Shadows, the second of the Sherlock Holmes movies staring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law. While I liked the first Sherlock Holmes - much better then I thought I would - I have to admit that I like the second a lot more. My reason for this? The fall. I've always liked the fall, even though it was depressing. And I liked how this movie did it, in spite of the fact they made it worse by having Watson actually be there when it happened and see it.
Other things I liked about this movie was the train scene, I now randomly go around shouting, "DID YOU JUST KILL MY WIFE?! DID YOU JUST KILL MY NEW WIFE?!" And then there is Mycroft. I think my favourite Mycroft is the one in the BBC Sherlock, but this Mycroft is a close second. I especially liked the parts between him and Sherlock when Sherlock purposely acted like the little brother just to annoy him.
The second movie on my G list is Ghost Protocol the third Mission Impossible movie. (No wait, it is the forth, isn't it?)
While trying to decide who should climb up the outside of a 100 story building. Brandt: "I'm just the helper."
I have never been a fan of the Mission Impossible movies. I've just never gotten into the death defying height stunts and the assassin like movies. The third one is my least favourite out of them all. Kidnapping movies creep me out, and throw in little bombs they can stick in your head and I want to lock the doors and become a hermit. Therefore, when I learned of the forth movie I didn't want to see it until I learned Hawk Eye would be in it. *Whistles innocently* Need I also add he was the only reason I wanted to see the new Bourne movie? Didn't think so.
My family saw Ghost Protocol awhile ago and they all said they liked it more then the others. I might have said something about it having Hawk Eye in it and therefore there being little chance it could be bad. What I didn't know is how much I would end up liking it when I finally did see it.
Unlike the other movies, this one wasn't a serious. It didn't feel as creepy or assassin like. Instead, it felt more like an actual spy movie. And for once, I actually liked the characters, including Ethan Hunt.
This time Ethan works with three partners. Benji is the computer geek who can hack anything and has all kinds of cool machines to play with. Yet, unlike the typical computer geeks who help out the dashing hero, Benji actually got to do the field work. Maybe not beat anyone up, but he got to carry a gun and use it.
Ethan's other partner was Jane Carter. Unlike the typical girl spies who have to act like a man, Jane didn't try and hide the fact that she was scared sometimes. She was as concerned for her partners as they were for her. And she beat up some guys and a girl - and accidently pushed a girl out of a 100 story window.
The last and newest partner was William Brandt (Hawk Eye). Joining up with Ethan, he appears to be a bit nerdy, something of a clueless coward who knows every file Mission Impossible has but doesn't know what end of the gun to use. He also seems lost most of the time. This, it is soon discovered, is all a disguise. (Er, maybe disguise is the wrong word. More like Brandt's attempt to hide from a mistake.) It turns out Brandt can beat up ten men in the flash of an eye and even manages to snatch a gun from Ethan. And in spite of his gloomy exterior, he provides a lot of comedy relief. The best part was when he had to jump into a huge computer and Benji would catch him. "There is one part of this plan I want to go over." "What part?" "The part where I jump-" "Yes, and I catch you." "But I jump into a twenty foot drop." "And I will catch you. But we have to hurry because we have to turn the fan off. And like all computers, it will get hot when the fan is off." "So I'm jumping into an oven." "Yes, and I will catch you."
If the directors want to make another movie and use this team, I am all for it. I am still surprised how much I liked this movie. I even plan on watching it again soon. (Another plus for it was that they cast Simon Pegg as Benji. He is a convincing computer geek.)
And that is the end of G. The quote is again from Psych. Same episode as the one I used yesterday. Won't say much more for spoilers sake, but those who have seen it know.
Allons-y!
