RE: Mission: Impossible – Fallout – A Review – (PowerHouseCreatives Contest)
I concur -- the suspense largely felt overdone and predictable. My favorite thing about that movie, oddly, was Ving Rhames. For those in the U.S. (possibly elsewhere, I don't know), you will recognize his voice from the Arby's commercials. His famous expression is: "We have the meats!" He was just a sidekick in Fallout, but he's just adorable and he has that deep resonating voice.
And if you enjoy movie trivia, you might like this incredible moment in entertainment history where Ving Rhames gives his Golden Globe trophy to Jack Lemmon after tearfully accepting it. It's wonderful in so many ways. For example there are some great sightings of celebrities in their younger years, as well as some beloved actors who have passed on, in addition to Lemmon - Alan Rickman, Robin Williams.
Sounds like we agree a lot on this movie. I thought Ving was dead when Tom Cruise shot him, of course, and a little surprised he had on a vest to save him.
The youtube clip is great, and very moving. I had no idea Ving had been an actor for so long, but when they mentioned he played Don King, that shook my memory. I really liked Jack Lemmon, and thought he was one of the funniest, most talented actors ever. It was really cool seeing all those actors & actresses in their younger chassis. Thanks for sharing that!
I thought you might like that! Yes, I learned a lot about Ving Rhames from that video too. I love Youtube for trivia, and helping to put pieces of the puzzle together. Also, it calls to mind people you may not have thought of for a while. Helen Hunt, for example. Whatever happened to her? She seemed to just fade away.
Oh, ha ha. How about that. Helen Hunt is still very active in her career and is doing all kinds of stuff. She has a movie (thriller) just about to come out, titled I See You.
