Can't Feel My Face (The Weeknd)


The Weeknd snatched the top spot (as of this writing, this song slipped to 2nd place - Cheerleader rebounded to 1st place) from OMI's Cheerleader.  I haven't had the chance to listen and go deeper with the song but so far songs from this guy are a-OK but I will suspend my verdict.

Mission: Impossible [Rogue Nation] (2015)


Great and balanced film. Enough heart pounding stunts and very sensible storyline - I think this is the best installment of the series so far.

But what is commendable actually is the fact that the lead female was not sexually objectified and given an equal treatment with the guys in the film. She was neither a sidekick nor a damsel in distress. I am onboard to anything that promotes Girl Power.
No sex scenes - first ever I guess for the franchise.

Without a doubt Tom Cruise is the Angelina Jolie of action films.


9/10

Fantastic 4 (2015)


Goodness gracious! I am a comicbook guy and have so much support on creative freedom and flexibility if they don't stay true to the comics. But this - I have no words - speechless.

I didn't have much faith on Kinberg and always gave the credits to Singer when it comes to XMen screenplays. Although I was surprised that Vaughn's name was attached in this film.
I really wanted this to be good to give way to a possible X/F4 crossover. 

I hate saying this but this should be called as Tragic4.
