Bad Boys for Life

                         ‘How you fuck a witch without a condom?’ – Marcus Burnett After 25 years of working together as detectives in Miami, Mike Lowrey feels as young as ever but his partner in crime Marcus Burnett is ready to retire. But with people out to kill Mike the duo work with special department, Advanced Miami Metro Operations (AMMO) to bring them down. The Bad Boys and their supporting cast needed time to warm up. The beginning lines weren’t delivered well nor was the acting convincing. Reggie sounded so nervous delivering his lines. I know Marcus and Mike intimidated you before Reggie but you should be over that by now. Although the two bad boys did snap out of it their crew in AMMO never fully developed. Vanessa Hudgens needed to be written more lines because Kelly continually shaking her head in response to Lowrey as gun shots rang around her wasn’t good enough for me. Rafe being a douche to Mike for no ...

Wild Wild West

‘not every situation calls for your patented approach of "shoot first, shoot later, shoot some more and then when everybody's dead try to ask a question or two." – President Grant In the run up to release of the live action remake of Aladdin in which Will Smith played Genie, the rapper turned actor constantly slated Wild Wild West , stating that despite the potential the film had and how much he promoted it he regards it as one of his worst films. Having only watched the film once before when I was probably too young to do so, I knew little about the Western yet hearing Smith constantly talk negatively of it intrigued me. So, when Comedy Central showed the film I thought I’d take the opportunity to watch it and see if it’s as bad Smith portrays it.   He’s not entirely wrong. The film chooses to use smoke and explosions as a way to move from one scene to the next instead of finding a logical way for the reluctant pair of U.S Marshals Jim West and Artemus G...

        ‘You can tell me now or you can tell me in five minutes without all                                                                   your teeth' - Dani Zakarweski After Henry Brogan (Will Smith) completes his last job as a hitman and plans to retire, his own agency tries to kill him, sending his clone to fulfil the hit. Across the film there was an overuse of close up shots where a two shot would have suited. The focus on characters faces exposes the lack of intensity behind their action along with making it difficult to see the connection between characters. Another thing hard to look at was the clone of Henry. Done by de-aging Will Smith, Junior looks as if the face is a clean-shaven Will Smith was morphed to appear younger, looking nothing like Smith during did when record...

The Rock is the Worst Actor from the WWE

Image
Despite the joint second highest paid actor of 2019 being Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson, the question remains if WWE superstars can successfully change paths and become great actors. I originally was going to discuss the idea that Dwayne Johnson’s acting career has been inferior to that of his former WWE colleague Dave Bautista’s , who is appearing in more films as of late, as I have found some of Bautista’s performances in films such as Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) to be much more enjoyable than The Rock’s blockbuster films like Central Intelligence (2016) . However; although Bautista has vocalised his desire to be an actor as opposed to just a movie star, both men are stuck in the roles of the muscular and powerful characters that they were in the WWE. Dave Bautista in his role as Drax, from the  Marvel Universe Johnson and Bautista have upcoming summer releases, Hobbs & Shaw and My Spy respectively, which see them taking on roles of “badass” governmen...
