WOW!!! What a spectacular movie production created by the Kendrick Brothers. This is without doubt a "must see" movie for absolutely everyone on the planet earth! To witness the growth and transformation of a troubled 18 year old male youth is beyond amazing and mesmerizing, but yet being a learning tool for everyone in the viewing audience to gain an understanding and grow by in their own personal lives.

Actors Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt played very interesting roles in this action packed/love interest movie! I first became introduced to Ryan Gosling in the heart warming extraordinary movie, "The Notebook!" The Fall Guy was an incredible thriller in actually seeing the behind the scenes use of stunt persons in the making of a movie production and seeing firsthand the potential death defying moves executed by the stuntman to make the actual Actor appear to be in a scene. Incredible!!! I loved this movie and would love to see a sequel!

What a phenomenal movie experience! Actor Cillian Murphy definitely deserved the Oscar he won playing the role of Physicist Oppenheimer who was a genius. The movie revealed how much Oppenheimer was highly admired and well respected throughout the Country, but yet he did experience his share of challenges in life. Robert Downey Jr. played the role of Lewis Strauss, a colleague of Oppenheimer, who ended up being a back stabber as an example of one unexpected challenge. While leaving the theater, a famous saying came to mind, written by Alexander Hamilton (who served as the first Secretary of the Treasury during George Washington's Presidency): If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything!" This saying came to mind after Lewis Strauss tried to strip Oppenheimer from his Top Security Clearance, which he was successful in because he made untruths during the hearings. But even though Oppenheimer experienced this downgrade in his Security clearance, Strauss ended up losing his appointment by the Senate to the position of U.S. Secretary of Commerce. One Senator that didn't give the needed vote was Senator John F Kennedy, who questioned his honesty and another witness testified at the hearing and disclosed the untruths too. So, this brings me to my last point, "You Reap What You Sow!"

Denzel Washington is an absolutely amazing Actor, but I personally preferred Equalizer I and Equalizer 2 better because of the stronger storylines. Also, I prefer Denzel in the States vs traveling to another Country.

WOW! WOW! WOW! Mission Impossible (MI) - Dead Reckoning Part One is an "extraordinary and well-written action packed movie!" As always, Tom Cruise delivers in his role playing Agent Ethan Hunt accompanied by his supporting crew members Ving Rhames & Simon Pegg. Writer/Director Christopher McQuarrie's masterful writing is truly impressive and each sequel is better and better, which this is going on the 7th installment of the MI series. Lastly, I commend Tom Cruise for his unbelievable drive to be involved in many of the breathtaking stunts in all of his movies!!! I was truly on the edge of my seat!!!!!

My initial hesitation to see this movie was because of not being comfortable seeing Julia Roberts and George Clooney in a negative relationship considering their love connection at the end of Oceans 11 and Oceans 12. I really loved this movie with all the unexpected twists and turns, plus phenomenal scenery beyond words. I liked how the movie addresses the relationship of parents to adult children and navigating through the ups and downs of life and discovering needed boundaries. Highly recommend this movie!
