"The power of an immortal.
The soul of a human. The heart of a hero."
The soul of a human. The heart of a hero."
Have you ever dream or wish to become a vampire? It's kinda weird because when i was a kid, i dreamed to became a vampire, why? maybe because vampire live much longer, much stronger,powerful and invulnerable . But there is one thing i hate about being a vampire, that i would never be able to go out into sunlight and i would definitely required to drink blood. It's weird but i find it cool. Well, If you're also fun of watching vampire movies and tv series, i think you're familiar with Blade. Blade is full of violence and excellently choreographed martial arts type action. This was actually become famous in movie theater and later on in tv series.

of electrifying action,
adventure and excitement.
Expect The Impossible "
Looking for some great spy adventure action? Something which is unique, full of excitement and challenging missions, armed with the latest in high-tech tools. The ultimate mission collection: The Mission Impossible. Remember this complete action series which recall your boyhood spy fantasies. Mission Impossible or originally known as Impossible Mission Taskforce (IMF), a team of government spies and specialists set out to do impossible missions. These secret agent assigned to defeat the combat dictators, evil organizations, and crime lords. Each episode began with the team leader receiving a secret, pre-recorded message containing his mission. Each message would then self-destruct, usually by spontaneous combustion in order not to be traced.
Mission: Impossible is the most successful spy shows and longest-running espionage television series ever produced (1966-1975). It was originally created by Bruce Geller. Due to the popularity of this show, Brian de Palma was inspired and introduced this show into the world of movie theater. This short review shows how this show became popular in both tv series and movie theater and how it influence our lives in the realm of entertainment..
This adventure, drama, thriller and action packed series was originally created by Bruce Geller. This tv show was premiered on September 17, 1966 and last aired on March 30, 1973. This Impossible Mission TaskForce was composed of various members with different roles:
Peter Graves as The team leader, Barbara Bain as the Model and all around talented female agent, Greg Morris as the Technical Expert, Peter Lupus as the Muscle-Bound and Martin Landau as the Master of Disguise. Jim and his team of agents would always jump into action with an elaborate and intricate plan.
This show was known for it's trademark. A destructing recording tape laying out their team's next mission. "Your mission, Jim, should you decide to accept it, is... As usual, should you or any member of your I.M. Force be captured or killed, the secretary will disavow any knowledge of your existence. This tape will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Jim."
Mission Impossible on Movie theater
1996
1996
As Mission Impossible series became popular and leave a big impact on the genre and on popular culture, Brian de Palma was inspired and introduced this show into the world of movie theater. He take the risk and became successful in adopting this tv series for the fact that some of tv-film adaptation are mostly failed. I think de Palma has definitely some kind of magic to create a movie with the amount of tension enough to catch viewers attention and salutes his great talents.
The movie was starred by Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt, member of an elite CIA intelligence task force. He was given an order to investigate the man in Prague who attempts to steal the list of all the secret agents in Europe. Since Ethan was the only one who survive with the operation, he was charged for the deaths of his fellow agents. To prove that he was innocent, Hunt set up another team to look for the real traitor. This movie is full of twist and turns that made its viewers enjoy watching, wishing and wanting for more to find out what really happen to the characters in end.
Mission Impossible II 2000
Since this 1996 Mission Impossible became hit in field of movie theater, John Woo decided to direct and create a sequel of Mission Impossible and it was starred again by Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt. The story is all about the destructive "chimeric" virus in Sydney, Australia. This virus has the power to kill millions and destroy the whole country. So Ethan and his team are responsible to get this virus before it falls to Sean Ambrose, a former MIF and traitor who planned to steal the bio- engineered virus. I think this movie was known for incredible motorcycle stunts. John Woo did not adopt any thing from De Palma's movie. He created and used his own vision of what action film should be like. Woo is more modern and known for his slow motion shots, lots of fight and chase scenes, shoot-outs, explosions and extravagant stunt.
Mission Impossible III 2006
As usual Mission Impossible strike again in the field of movie theater for the second time around that is why J.J. Abrams created Mission Impossible 3, a combination of the first two films. Since Ethan was happily engaged with Julia (Michelle Monaghan), he planned to leave his spy days behind. Unfortunately, one of his co- agent was kidnapped and implanted with a chip in her brain that could explode. So Ethan called back into action to rescue her co- agent and arrest Owen Davian, suspect of kidnapping ,stealing and selling the dangerous weapon called “Rabbit's Foot”. This movie is full of electrifying action and great special effects like you never seen before. More energized and done amazingly.

The Angels were very dedicated to their profession and once they started something, they planned on finishing it. As strong women, the Angels used their minds as well as their looks to get the job done. Charlie's Angels became a popular due to the fact that it was mostly about women fighting crime in a man's world and maybe because of their mysterious boss, Charlie who was never seen.

This show has inspired many remakes and reinterpretations throughout the years in both tv series and movie theater. This tv show was known for its sweet and tempting opening narration: Once upon a time, there were three very different little girls... who grew up to be three very different women.
