MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE-ROGUE NATION, PG-13 ( 2 hr & 11 min )

-

I went to see this today, Thursday, July 30th, 2015, here in Vallejo, CA, at the CENTURY 14 VALLEJO, for the advance screening at 8:00 p.m. in auditorium   8, 5th row ( counting from the front ), 8ht column ( counting from the left ). The price of admission was $11.25. And I bought a small buttered Popcorn for $0.00 ( free on my movie watcher e-mail reward coupon ) and a medium Powerade Mountain Berry Blast for $4.75 at the concessions counter.

Quickie Review:  Team IMF has finally met its match!

The audience liked it and gave it a "Hands Clapper" ending.

I liked it, too.  Go see this Action Movie.

If you do go see it, please leave your talkative small brat at home! There was an inconsiderate Hispanic couple who brought their talkative little brat with them which somehow ruined my viewing pleasure.

People make such a big deal out of Tom Cruise doing his own stunt and hanging for dear life as the plane takes off from the runway, as shown in the movie poster above. But ... the cameran man had to hold the camera steady as he stood on the wing to film Tom Cruise doing his stunt! Who's the badass now, huh?  Ha, ha, ha.

**************************************

Earlier today, at just before 3:00 p.m., I decided to have lunch at the Empire Chinese Buffet Restaurant here in Vallejo. I held the door open for a black woman who was walking out with her infant in her arms and with her two young daughters. She didn't acknowledge or thank me for holding the door open for her! And there was a black couple who walked into the restaurant with their pet Pit Bull! A black man who passed me by said, "I guess they allow dogs in here now." I guess so 'cause I'm wondering about it myself, I said. As I sat down to eat, two black girls sitting across the aisle from me were talking about some "relationship issue" and they were using the "S" word back and forth! I don't know if it's the sign of the times or if it's just endemic here in Vallejo, CA. But people seem to be lacking in manners, in respect and in courtesy, and seem inconsiderate of others these days!

I will have to contact the BBB ( Better Business Bureau ) to complain about the dog that was allowed in the restaurant. It was not a "seeing-eye" dog.

And I don't give a damn about this bullshit "companion dog" law that people abuse; the very same people who refuse to clean up after their dogs if their dogs urinate or defecate inside a place of business!!! Stuff like this happens when you allow a bunch of liberal jackasses to run the country into the ground.

Maybe, they should impose martial law to prevent the self-entitled irresponsible liberal jackasses from encouraging anarchy among the dumbass masses!

MINIONS, PG ( 1 hr & 31 min )


-

I went to see this on Saturday, July 11th, 2015, here in Vallejo, CA, at the CENTURY 14 VALLEJO, for the 9:30 p.m. show in auditorium 8, 5th row ( counting from the front ), 8ht column ( counting from the left ). The price of admission was $11.25. And I bought a Lil' Bites snack pack ( buttered popcorn, beef jerky and Powerade Mountain Berry Blast ) for $6.60 at the concessions counter.

Quickie Review: Since the dim distant past of evolution, a special type of subservient species has been in constant, restless search for a super villain to serve under. In the late '60s, they come across the world's first female super villain, a villain that they are eager to the henchmen of. But, first, the bumbling minions must prove themselves worthy of such a highly-coveted priviledge.

The audience liked this origin movie. I liked this movie, too. Go see it if you're a Minions fan.

I liked the Caveman scene, the Yeti scene, the Pharaoh scene, the Napoleon Bonaparte scene, the Count Dracula scene, the Wannabe Henchmen Fight scene, the Peekaboo Blouse scene and the King Bob scene.

Oh, if you do go and see this movie, please stay 'til after the Ending Credits as there is a "Bollywood"-style song-and-dance scene. I was the only one in the audience who was SMART Enough to stay for this bonus scene at the very end!

I found this guide sheet on the Internet.

The Minions, supposedly, speak gibberish. But with words in English, French, Spanish, Italian, Greek, Korean, Japanese and Tagalog thrown in for good measure. I, myself, have picked up words spoken in English, French, Spanish and Tagalog. The Minions also use food references, with the ubiquitous "Banana" word thrown here and there and everywhere! Ha, ha, ha.
