Watched Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol starring Tom Cruise, Jeremy Renner, Paula Patton and Michael Nyqvist from the Swedish version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. This film was awesome it was very exhilarating, nerve-wracking, vertigo-inducing, action-packed film. The performances in the film was very good and very satisfying specially from a more mature Tom Cruise, Jeremy Renner was a great addition, and Simon Pegg is pretty hilarious in all of his scenes. This Mission Impossible is way better than that horrible Mission Impossible 3. the film is fun-filled from start to finish and features this incredible intelligence that most action films lack this year. The film is very smart, witty, and well planned out. I really enjoyed this film because the plot was sophisticated enough to keep you from drooling and fast paced as hell. The director Brad Bird did a fantastic job with every action packed shot scene and it was just very excellently directed. The scrip and dialogue was very well done with such beautiful scenery and well written generic plot. I will give it an A+++.
Watched The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo starring 007's Daniel Craig and the 2010 remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street's Rooney Mara. The film was good and entertaining, but I believe the Swedish film to be a more superior film. It had better acting, more appropriate casting, a rounder narrative that fleshed out the characters, their relationships, and their histories better, and a better score. This version was still absolutely very incredible, Absorbing, emotional, and satisfying film with captivating performances by Rooney Mara with a completely incredible transformation to become Lisbeth. I still think the original Lisbeth Noomi Rapace's (Sherlock Holmes 2: A Game of Shadows) was much more better and darker than Rooney Mara's performance. This remake is still basically the same as the original Swedish film scene by scene, but David Fincher directed this remake with such passion and excellency. The script and dialogue were good, but I thought it had a few little plot holes. The first half of the film was very slow paced and it lagged a little bit, but I still though it was a great remake and I will give it a B+.
Watched My Week with Marilyn starring Michelle Williams and Kenneth Branagh. I Thought the film was very entertaining and The script and dialogue was very smartly written with a great director. The best thing about the film was Michelle Williams who plays Monroe with a stunning, captivating performance. Williams perfectly embodies Marilyn Monroe's nervous anxiety, lack of self confidence, constant need for approval, and ability to charm. I believe Michelle Williams will win the Academy Award for best actress as the iconic blond bombshell. Kenneth Branagh and Judi Dench were such a delightful and memorable in their supporting roles in the film. The film itself was awesomely amazing, heart breaking and great story. The film did lack a little bit in the script and dialogue, but the film was still very entertaining and extremely well acted with a excellent director. The film was funny and just completely amazing film. I will give it an A-.
