Senna

Admittedly i had no idea what i was going to see when i walked into the cinema yet when i walked out i was entertained and inspired by a very moving documenting the life and career of Artyon Senna. The film shows the trial and tribulations that Senna found himself facing in Formula One, from his rivalry with fellow Mclaren driver Alain Prost on the track, to the on-going politics behind the scenes. Using clips recorded from his races and other occasions it reveals the side of a sportsman both in and out of the game, giving a full view of the kind of man Senna was and the amount of inspiration he gave not just Brasil but the whole world. A man who truly devoted himself and gave 100% to try and achieve his dreams in life and a man who never let anything get him down, he would always carry on even when struggling. Usually i would comment on the cast and then give my view on the film itself but here that doesn't really apply, though as i said i went into this not really knowing what i was going to see but that added to the element of mystery in a way, not knowing much about Formula One i did think i would be in the dark yet i found out that wasn't the case. The way in which the film went on to Portray Senna really hit home for me, i never really looked at a sportsman before and saw someone so dedicated to their sport in the way he was, adding to that Senna even showed how off the track he was genuinely a good person and the film showed that brilliantly. So even if you don't know what Formula One is and can't tell a Ferrari from a Mclaren, i recommend this film, just to see a truly inspirational real-life story of a man who showed compassion, sportsmanship and dedication in what he did and why he was and still to this day is viewed as an icon for the sport.

Cruise is back doing what comes naturally.

Impossibly the fourth in the franchise isn't a mission too far and proves itself a worthy edition.

Mid mission things go sour and the operation is called off as Hunt still in disguise escapes the Kremlin behind him bursts into flames, the Russians view this as an act of war sending Hunt and his team on the run. Meeting with the secretary of defense in secret Hunt is informed that the whole IMF has been disbanded, Hunt is on his own and the orders are to take him in... Unless he chooses to accept a new mission. The president activates ghost protocol meaning the remnants of the IMF must on their own discover who's responsible for bombing the Kremlin, bring them to justice and at the same time prevent a nuclear holocaust sparking between Russia and America.  Tom Cruis...
