Power (2014)
Uncanny gritty and dope "Gangsta" Tale!!
I pride myself on being in the loop on what's hot to watch on TV and whats not. I kinda left this for what it was because i am not reallay a fan of the G-unit sheep folk warshippery and actually nuthin that "50" cent was in ever was good enough that i would want to watch...But then "Power" came
and i was into it from jump!! I was watching "empire" and it was already boring two episodes in looking very Tyler Perry esque which I dislike ... But Power! Well that was a whole other Level! Great Casting, Great Chemistry Between "The Brothers" especially (Omari & Joseph) only point that is a lil " maxi-menos" is the latina Love interest...So many other better looking latinas could have made this a lot hotter , ( but that's just me )( and the story-Line Threw me for a loop ...OOOH betrayal..Frackin betrayal!! Can't wait for the second season.
Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B (2014)
This was what Exactly?
I could not even call this a (TV)movie... It was so badly done a student with an assignment at a third rate movie academy with a blind eye one arm and half of his brain could have done a better job. There isn't a lot that wasn't already said here and throughout the internet about this crap!But since I am bored out of my mind, here are my two euro's ...:)
This should have been a tribute to a beautiful human being, I myself have had a the pleasure of meeting her during her tour in 1995 in Amsterdam. Her presence has stuck with me throughout all the years. so i was very upset when i heard of her passing. So in anticipation of this movie, I was already hesitant to watch it during the casting procedure. Mimicking such a unique and soft timbered voice is a feat by itself, hearing then how badly it was done my hope for the movie being any good disappeared like the Seattle sun. Alexandra Shipp was a close a enough fit in her appearance and she did a plausible job on the emulation of Aaliyah's mannerism. But that is as far as it goes. I mean the girl sings alright, but in noooo way close enough to Aaliyah's pitch or tone or voice.( "Journey to the past " what a terrible arrangement and Ms. Shipp's voice was horrible on it! Because the 'production'(if you can call it that) did not get the rights to any of the original music, everything sounded off key or badly looped and that made it totally 4th rate...( some fake and totally worthless" Timbaland-esque beat" for instances)just embarrassing!
This was more a showcase for Ms. Shipp to let people know what she can do, as opposed to actually playing a character. The crappy " I sound like I am Zen all the time dialog, like : "You don't have to roar to let people know your a lion" I mean reallay???
The way this crap was filmed and written where in some parts the actors dropped (Baby Girl) Aaliyah's nickname to family and friends so many times without any real conviction as if the cast felt that they had to say it at least 10 time to convince us that their acting was on point.
There were some very bad camera angles and movements in the "movie " as well. Parts where you see a character move out of the way so that the camera man could take the shot! No smooth transitions,I mean 'Come on!! The bad casting, the bad casting( yes i said it twice), the even worse music, a real smack in the face to especially Timbaland, the lousy acting , the toe cringing dialog, the even worse editing, I could go on and on about how bad this was. Please HollowWood make this right!
Butttt! on a bright note... There was the mystery ( to me then)of: " Who is that dude playing Aahliyah's Pappy??" I was just busting my head to see if it was him or not ( Bokeem Woodbine). Up to now i still don't know(IMDb doesn't show that it is him)...
So yes all In all Avoid like the plague or if you just can't believe how bad it is,have yourself a painful laugh and hope for something better to come out soon. Because normally I pride myself for not being a sheep to follow the masses...But this was just that bad and worse.... Shame on you Lifetime!!
The Man with the Iron Fists (2012)
Worst Movie Ever!!!
I only gave it a 2 because RZA gets that for effort... I am just to hurt to utter another word about this. As a martial art nut and practitioner.. this was the worst piece of crap I have ever Seen .. The Only Shining light Was Russell Crow and he really had to take the whole movie on his Shoulders.
The RZA really disappointed me me MAN , I mean WU -TAng is all about The martial arts and now he gets a chance to put out a movie and this it what it ends up looking like ..
worst crap ever!! I'd rather watch an Uwe Boll film... That's how bad it was... IF you ever see it anywhere( DVD, Blu ray , ON the street, On a poster OR trailer in the movies, RUN and AVOID LIKE The PLAGUE!!!
Spider-Man 3 (2007)
I cried a little
I'm sorry being a really longtime spidey fan.
this did not hit home for me. I was almost bored during the movie with the soapy moments. As the previous commenter stated
He said it all really but for me I was Looking forward to a better movie as compared to the 2 previous ones.... I mean a trilogy is supposed to get better each time right?
Well this did not hit that mark , even the Spiderman and villain fights where as said, seen before and it brought nothing new to the film.
A dammed shame knowing what Hollywood can muster out of the technology they have now. MY feet actually cringed in certain scenes ..kirsten dunst and franco doing the twist in the kitchen( what was that all about) The Only ones that really did it for me where Jonah, bruce cambel, peter himself and eddy brock
I really wanted to see something a bit more true to the marvel universe and this wasn't it.
I mean an ode to the Blob is cool for another movie not this ... I mean the plot with sandman ..out of all the villains that spidey has fought Sandman is one of the most boring ones...I mean really.
I also feel that he( the sandman ) was written into this story to make his prescence more plausible. Now that Kirsten and Tobey quit we wont be seeing any other movies now?
But because I love the franchise so much the disappointment is even greater.. I of course advise everybody to go see it ..but don't have your hopes up 2 high .. because you will be disappointed.
this was a cross between the hulk and ghost-rider Dammed those X-men!!!
