Spies: Mission Impossible




The "original" that started the movie franchise, well, let me see....20 years ago?!  Geez!!  That NOC list seems so penny-ante these days.  But I love Ving Rhames in this!!  So it's me, Weena (the movie loving cat in the house), Ving and that crazy Tom Cruise for the evening!  Also...I forgot how baroque the music was in this film.  

Spies: Shanghai (2010)





This is a really different kind of spy film.  It has a few draw-backs for some.  Many, for example, won't like the Dashiell Hammett, Noir type narration by Cusack.  I find it really interesting.  Set amongst a cross-roads of bullshit slung from both fronts for WWII, culminating in Shanghai, which to this day is a free-trade zone.  

Spies: Bridge Of Spies





















Spies: Tinker Tailer Soldier Spy




"Operation Witchcraft" well underway here.  Would love some of those "reptile funds!" Second go around for Mr. CiarĂ¡n Hinds!  All star cast in this one!  This film has a great "niorish" soundtrack!
