This week on Movie Picks with Alice Reese, Alice reviews Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation, Paper Towns, and A LEGO Brickumentary.
Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nationdid not disappoint Alice at all. It was as exciting as advertised, but the story was also strong. Tom Cruise stars for the fifth time as Ethan Hunt, and did the majority of his own stunt work (including the super scary scene at the beginning). Most of the usual characters return, including Simon Pegg, Jeremy Renner, and Ving Rhames. Alice highly recommends you spend an evening with some popcorn at the movies for this.
Alice previewed Paper Townslast week, and this week she got a chance to check it out. This is latest book adaptation for John Green, and unfortunately Alice wasn't impressed. Nat Wolff and Cara Delevingne are great in the lead roles of Quentin and Margo, but there wasn't enough balance in the film between comedy and drama.
A LEGO Brickumentaryis exactly what you think it is. A documentary about the plastic toy almost everyone has played with at least once in their lives. This is a limited release, but Alice was fascinated by this movie (also, by the amount of LEGOs that some people collect).
