the first film Harold and Kumar get the munchies. In the sequel, Harold and Kumar escapefrom Guantamano bay. With the announcement that a third Harold and Kumar movie is now in production, and scheduled for a 2010 release, I would expect it to be titled... "Harold and Kumar go Straight To DVD" ! ...
Advantages: Excellent tense storytelling, Eastwood at his best Disadvantages: Lack of action sequences
Once you're sent to The Rock, you stay on The Rock. San Francisco's legendary prison sits on its own little island, a mile away from the shore. It's an escape artist's very worst nightmare. How do you reach safety without being swept out to sea or freezing to death in the notorious waters? How do you break out of an airtight security camp in the first place?

The pair are put into Guantanamo Bay in Cuba and the prision scenes are fairly funny although I never actually laughed. Although, just as a for instance, one of the 'funny' parts at this point in ther film is when big bob tries to make them eat his 'cockmeat' sandwich. What kind of humour is ?! After escapingfrom the prison they then meet a friend who keeps them for one night. In this scene there was so many naked women! It was kind of weird! But if you're a guy then I'm sure you'll love it!
There are certainly some ...
