Just for Keith

A while ago I posted about the couple of movies we saw over the break.  Well, my dear friend--from way back, and frankly the best friend I have left from my hometown--emailed that I missed a great movie.  "Where," he asked, "was Mission Impossible?"  I told him I hadn't seen it yet, but that it was on my list.


Well, I saw it today.  Genius Golfer and I took The Boy to see the early show while The Girl was at a swim meet in Ogden today. 

Talk about a ride!!  This was non-stop from the get-go.  Light the fuse...and buckle your seat belt.  Whoa.


When the star escapes from a Russian hospital after surviving a bombing that blows up the Kremlin right off the bat, that is the beginning of a terrific popcorn-movie ride!

Then, let Agent Ethan Hunt dangle a hundred or more floors up, on the outside of the most shi-shi-poo-poo hotel in Dubai--which, by the way, made me a bit light headed--while under an impossible deadline.

And throw in a little undercover seduction of a flamboyant Indian business man with the needed satellite codes by a Lady-agent who can kick butt, even in a gorgeous dress...

so the ultra-cool team can get the bad guys in the end....


And you have got yourself a great, cold-weather, got-the-time-cause-its-the-weekend, testosterone-filled, family-bonding, how-much-popcorn-did-I-eat?, exciting kind of movie.

So, Keith.  Thanks for the recommendation.  And here is a post full of pictures for you, since you remind me just a little of Ethan Hunt. (It might be the teeth.)  But remember, you will be disavowed if you or your team is recognized or identified.  Love ya, man.

Oh. One last thing: This message will self--destruct in 5 seconds.
