Advantages: Mos Def's character Eddy
Disadvantages: Mod Def's character's voice

...but I couldn't help it. 16 Blocks caught my eye and thus I starved in its name. The Story The film starts at a crime scene, some latin gangsters have been murdered and the police officer in charge wants to get an "unimportant" officer to cover the crime scene, an aged out of shape Bruce Willis walks in with a newspaper and plants himself on a seat and takes out a hip flask of whiskey. He plays a charcter called Jack Moseley, an old tired police ...
...testimoney, just the shortdistance of 16 blocks. Here we meet Eddie Bunker, played by Mos Def, that might mean alot to some hiphop fans, I didn't know of him until this film. His charcter is so annoying at first he is really hard to make out with his weird cartoon charcter chatty voice. You get used to it after a while sort of but it is annoying and it would have been better if they had a character you could understand. So Jack and Eddy are on their ... Read review

Advantages: Great car scenes
Disadvantages: Poor plot, a bit cliche

...attractive woman. Yes, "2 Fast, 2 Furious" does feel like you have watched it before and that is mainly because all of the elements of the plot are as old as the hills. Numerous films have worked these elements to a much greater extent and added their own twists, where as "2 Fast, 2 Furious" fails to add anything new to the formula and ends up being completely predictable. With such a predictable plot you would expect this to be a monotonous bore, ...
...way he directed "2 Fast 2 Furious", he may not have made a great movie but he has done a good job with what he had. Personally I feel that he was dealing with a pretty weak script, so instead of trying to make something out of nothing, he gave the majority audience what they wanted, fast cars, fast action, more fast cars and a few beautiful people and did I mention the fast cars. Summary *********** Even though "2 Fast 2 Furious" has no Diesel ... Read review

Advantages: Colin gets naked
Disadvantages: far to many to mention!

...been told so well. Alexander was great, we know that, but this story goes no way into telling us the conquest of Egypt, the history of the man in this country- his greatest conquest - and the story of the bits in between. All it really showed was the beginning and the end... there seemed to lack a middle? Overly long and very lost! But I think that's Oliver Stone's films in general really! ... Read review

Advantages: Fast action
Disadvantages: cliched

This movie stuck me a bit of a saturday night no-brainer when I saw it in the shop and so I snatched it up and settled in for a night of unrealistic violence and bravado. I have never seen the original 'Assault on Precinct 13' but I know enough about it to recognise that the premise of this film follows it quite closely. On a snowy New Years Eve a police precint (13) is being closed down and the staff moved to a newer more modern facility. The only ...
...who are looking forward to a quiet night and New Years party in work. Sergeant Roenick (Ethan Hawk) is in charge for the night and he is a former undercover agent who is recovering from a leg wound he took on a botched mission where he lost his team. Jasper (Brian Dennehy) is a old cop from the old skool and ironically this is to be his last day before retirement (cliche #1). Completing the staff is Iris (Drea de Matteo) the slutty secretary who ... Read review

Advantages: genious script, more adventures for marty and the doc!
Disadvantages: different female actress

Ah the back to the future trilogy! is there a better trilogy? if there is i dont wanna know about it. Back to the future 2 picks up exactly where the first one left off with the doc telling marty "its your kids marty something has to be done about your kids!" if your a fan of the first film you will probably realise that this scene is re-filmed in the second film due to the fact that the previous actress who played marty's girlfriend was not available ...
...to the future fashion with great performanced from michael j fox who plays a whole lotta characters in this film from his future self, to his son and...his daughter. Although this film is very good it does suffer slightly from "sequel syndrome" where the audience critisises harshly on comparison to the first film as they aslready had an idea of what THEY wanted to the sequal to be about. still if this film is looked upon fairly and not in comparison ...
