Mission: Impossible

Fast and Furious 7 VS Mission Impossible - Rouge Nation While it’s been three months since the release of Fast and Furious 7, action thriller fans were excited for the opening of Mission Impossible - Rouge Nation this weekend. There’s no doubt that both franchises have different plots, but other similarities between the two movies are very obvious. The fight scenes action and weapons, the fast cars chasing and crashing with other cars, advanced technology, and the stunts are the most distinguishing characters for both movies. Both movies are very high-octane; the thrilling scenes are very exciting and leave the audiences on the edge of their seats. The directing is top-notch for both movies, and the production was aimed to deliver every picture as close to reality as possible. Fast and Furious 7 uses variety of heavy weaponry throughout the movie; handguns, rifles, snipers, RPG-7, machine guns, a drone equipped with a Minigun, and even a chopper equipped with machine guns and launchers. Beside the chopper, the heaviest weapon used in the movie by an actor was the Minigun from the drone wreckage, which was used by Dwayne Johnson. Almost all of Fast 7 cast members were involved in some fight scene. Jason Statham collided heavily with Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson. Michelle…

The ‘Mission: Impossible’ franchise recently celebrated its nineteenth birthday, making this franchise almost of legal drinking age, let that sink in. This franchise has been around for almost five more years than the ‘Fast & Furious’ franchise, and yet it’s still managing to be just an incredulous and energetic as anything to ever come out of that franchise. I’m not at all dissing the ‘Fast & Furious’ franchise, it just pumped out its seventh installment and still managed to thrill me to my…

Yue Ma 112949774 Close Reading 4: A Hero of Our Time In this summer, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation came out, one of the most impressive hero in the movie was Ethan Hunt, portrayed by Tom Cruise. He is a typical hero that audiences are expecting. He was intelligent when he tried to complete the mission. Also, he was brave to accept the task to dive into the whirlpool to change an identification card in a short time in risk of his live. The most important thing was that he was fighting with…

political and social debates. While the idea of somebody being in a position for as long as they choose seem fairly preposterous, it does have some merit and some legal foundations in the very document we hail as sacred. While I do believe the court could use some polarization, age, race, and education wise, I do condemn the motives behind the current callings for judicial term limits. It seems fairly hypocritical, doesn’t it? Law makers will not impose term limit of themselves, nor restrict…

engaging in missions using the lens of reason, with a brief overview of two other lenses: Tradition and experience. I will present ideas from the perspectives of my father, a missionary and my granduncle, the Right Reverend Datuk Bolly Lapok. Also I will share my experience of dealing with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) and Depression through poetry and spoken word and how those platforms impacted many who come across them. The key voices in this essay are Graham Tomlin, Stephen…

paradise but God was not caught off guard. God had a plan to reach a people dying from sin and that plan was Missions. So God sent the first missionary. The missionary did all the things missionaries do, he preached, taught, and he prayed for people and they were healed. Often as the missionary was out in public people would flock to him. Quickly he would be surrounded by a large group of people who would be eager to hear what he had to say. By now I 'm sure you 've guessed who the missionary…

a typical warm and humid day in central Florida. There was a storm for-cast as usual, there was never a day without one. I sat there in my Mission President’s office waiting for my appointment with him. I had just gotten examined by the mission nurse and things were not looking good for my case of staying on my mission. My diagnosis was a severe case of Psoriasis, the most severe that the Missionary Department in Salt Lake City had ever seen in all the years of operation. Approximately ninety…

God’s commands and blessings came together. Abraham obeyed God’s command to leave his own country to a land he did not know. He and his descendants’ journey was full of uncertainty and challenges, but God’s command and promise led them step by step, generation to generation to see the glory of God. Christian Mission is like the journey to the Promised Land. In Matthew 28, Jesus commanded the disciples to “go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the…

“The Indians are once more free to be enslaved by the Spanish and Portuguese settlers.” This ironic statement made by Cardinal Altamirano (Ray McAnally), sets the tone for the beginning of the film, The Mission. The blunt, soullessness of this statement is not lost on the Cardinal, as he instructs his assistant to start the letter to the Pope over. In an interesting move, the film lets the viewer know the end of the movie before the movie itself has even really started. The film states in the…
