MI:4 Ghost somethingsomething

Quick review of MI:4

- I will not stop hearing "International Monetary Fund" whenever they say "IMF," which makes everything funnier.

- Tom Cruise's hair continues to be ridiculous. How is he a real person.

- Simon Pegg is hilarious.

- There was a lot of genre-poking humor overall, which was very much enjoyed.

- One of the action sequences wigged me enough I had to look at the ceiling of the theater. Curse you, my predictable fear of heights! In most movies, these scenes don't bother me but they sometimes do. I think I've just been sensitized by Man on Wire.

- I call foul on the physics of everything.

- I think, perhaps, this movie may have been sponsored by BMW. Just a hunch.

- All the action sequences (and consequently the movie) were about 20% too long.

Overall: A fun way to pass two hours (plus a full half hour of trailers), but forgettable.

Tom Cruise also had a bit of man-boob going on in the beginning, under that wife-beater he was wearing (and that scene of him shirtless? that was weird... I couldn't really decide what that was - he was sucking in big time, which puffed out his chest, and....yeah....weird). I also loved, when he's impersonating the Russian general (I'm not worried about spoilers here, because, seriously?), and he says "don't you recognize your boss?" I was like, of COURSE he doesn't because your accent is TERRIBLE!
