"MISSION IMPOSSIBLE - ROGUE NATION" NEW POSTERS
SPY
Plot:
Bradley Fine (Law) is a super spy who takes on some of the most dangerous missions but he would not be able to do these missions efficiently if it were not for the voice in his ear, his desk clerk specialist Susan Cooper (McCarthy), who adores him but is completely underrated and totally taken advantage of by him. While on assignment to locate a hidden nuclear bomb, Fine's identity is exposed along with all his colleagues at the agency by the beautiful but ruthless killer Rayna Boyanov (Byrne). Unable to send in any agents without them being recognized, they reluctantly send in Susan Cooper who volunteers to take revenge on the woman that murdered her dream man Agent Fine. Having never been in the field, Agent Cooper is at a disadvantage and is forcibly assisted by a hard nosed rogue agent named Rick Ford (Statham) who believes he is a one man army of destruction. So now the fate of the world falls on their shoulders.
Reel Talk:
This is one of those movies that the trailer doesn't do it much justice, meaning it sells it short on exactly how good it is. Yes, this is a good movie! Melissa McCarthy was hilarious and surprisingly impressive as an action agent along with Jude Law and Jason Statham. Rose Byrne's performance as the cold hearted villain Rayna was so good that she sent chills up my back...LOL! Director Paul Feig, who seems to be building a franchise of comedy films with Melissa McCarthy (since they have collaborated on several movies), took it several steps up on this one than when he did "The HEAT" which starred McCarthy and Sandra Bullock and was not that amusing. SPY is a very good and entertaining movie, may not be kid friendly due to some suggestive scenes but still a good film. My only downside to this movie is that it may have been about 30 minutes too long, because you start wondering when is it going to end after about a hour and a half in. This is not a bad thing just noticeable, so this is definitely one to check out.
Starring: Melissa McCarthy, Jude Law, Jason Statham, Rose Byrne and Bobby Cannavale
Directed by: Paul Feig
Rated: R

ENTOURAGE
Plot:
Fresh off his divorce, Hollywood megastar Vincent Chase (Grenier) decides to not only star in is his new movie but also wants to direct it, so along with his entourage of Eric (Connolly), Turtle (Ferrara), Drama (Dillon) they convince former entertainment agent now movie executive Ari Gold (Piven) to do just that. Eventually the movie production goes way over budget and they press a reluctant Ari to head to Texas so that he can acquire more money from their primary investor only to be refused further monies unless they allow the investor's son to go with Ari to Los Angeles to get a preview of the film. The pressure mounts on the group as they try to impress the spoiled rich kid as well as try to deal with the personal issues that each one is encountering.
Reel Talk:
Entourage Hits The Big Screen!!! The boys from the hit HBO series all get together for the little over a hour and a half movie that could have easily been a special presentation for the cable station but was selected to be shown in theaters. Either way it was a good movie and you didn't have to be a fan of the series to enjoy this film although it helps knowing the characters. With all the celebrity cameos from just about everyone involved with sports and entertainment, it was like one big Hollywood party with the audience as their special invited guests. It should have been easy for director / writer Doug Ellin to do this project since he is the man behind the HBO series. An enjoyable and entertaining movie that even though it would have worked on cable is worth checking out in the theaters.
Starring: Kevin Connolly, Adrian Grenier, Kevin Dillon, Jerry Ferrara and Jeremy Piven
Directed by: Doug Ellin
Rated: R
