Action - Seagal Style!

Advantages: Entertaining.
Disadvantages: Boring.

...The film they chose was Exit Wounds and to be honest it was actually quite a lot better than I thought it would be. ----- The Film: The film starts with what seems like a plot to assassinate the Vice President and of course at the last minute Seagal's character Boyd jumps in and saves the day by blowing up loads of cars and then killing a load of guys. One thing he shouldn't have done though is actually threw the VP over a bridge and into water ...
...Features: The making of Exit Wounds feature is actually exactly what you would expect from this type of film so expect to see how they do certain stunts and a lot of action from Seagal. Quite enjoyable to watch though which was ok. It wouldn't be a DMX film if it didn't star a music video from him so you have quite a good, R n B/Rap version of 'no sunshine'. The final feature is a day with Anthony Anderson which is hilarious and because he was the ...

'I remember thinking about the damage it would do to my face

Advantages: Great buddy action film
Disadvantages: Very simple

Cradle 2 The Grave is a 2003 action thriller featuring rapper DMX and martial arts expert turned actor Jet Li. The pair are combined well by director Andrzej Bartkowiak to give us a well made action flick. It is simple yet effective. The Plot Anthony Fait is a crook. He is employed by a middleman of dangerous businessman Yao Ling to smuggle a horde of black diamonds into the country, and decides to sell them himself. Taiwan agent Su is sent after ...

The Cast and Performances Rapper DMX gives a convincing performance in this film as Fait. He is not known for his acting skills, but does very well. Jet Li broke into ...

Exit Wounds/Out For Justice

Advantages: Two movies for the price of one
Disadvantages: They are both Steven Seagal movies

...two movies prove it. In Exit Wounds, he plays a cop who is demoted to a tough precinct, only to find the place riddled with corruption, and him sticking his nose in where it doesn't belong. DMX plays a lead suspect who may or may not be involved. The action scenes are loud and frantic and come every five minutes, although the rushing sounds of each kick make it laughable. Out For Justice, however, is a no-nonsense, ultra-violent revenge thriller ...
...friend and fellow cop. Unlike Exit Wounds, which does have some comic relief, Out For Justice does, and is just violent scene after violent scene. Character development and subplots don't exist. Maybe the makers of the Seagal films believe that his fans don not have the capacity to store these facts. Personally, I prefer my movies to have stronger stories, characters and half decent direction, not just a film where people get various body parts blown ...

The Bigger the hit, the faster the rush, the Sweeter the revenge!

Advantages: Great action packed film, Great actors, Good storyline
Disadvantages: You may not be able to get into the story-line!

...WHSmith. ***CRANK 2*** Crank 2: High Voltage was released this year and contains Jason Statham again. Chelio’s tears through the town in search for the Chinese criminal who has possession of his heart. Amy Smart, Dwight Yoakham, and Efren Ramirez revisit their roles from the original film. ***OVERALL OPINION*** I think Jason Statham is a fantastic actor anyway and I have to say that I loved this film. It was full of action and also has some funny ...
...I wouldn’t hesitate to watch Crank 2. My dad did how-ever borrow the DVD and after 30mins he switched it off as he couldn’t quite get into the film. If you like Jason as an actor and if you like his other films I think you with thoroughly enjoy this film. I would recommend it to anyone who like’s action packed films. (review als on dooyoo) ...

Review of Crank (DVD)

2012 true or wrong

Advantages: I believe in god so I do not believe the end of 2012.
Disadvantages: 2012 film is entertainment. so make it fun for our minds

...if you buy the hype, 2012 is going to be the year of that will see the end of humanity, much like the earlier 2000s saw the downfall of TRL. The year of shock. Horror. Awe. Awe-some! I am currently much anticipating the apocalypse, especially if it involves John Cusack and will finally foresee that sinful state, California, falling into the Pacific Ocean, where it belongs, obviously. I am anticipating it as much as I did Y2K, with my gallons of water ...
...the claims of December 21, 2012 (in addition to it being my future wedding date), being the end of this current "cycle" we're upon. The Mayans were a very intelligent civilization for their time--they were able to calculate the time of day, and their mathematical accomplishments floored any Europeans' of the time. But there's a lot of controversy as to what December 21, 2012, signifies to them. Of course it's the end of their calendar cycle, but ...
