Movie Review – Bad Boys 2

Posted on 16th August 2007 by Welshrogue in Movie Review,Movies

Detectives Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett find themselves not only chasing a drug dealer but trying to keep Marcus’s little sister out of trouble while she runs a DEA operation in Miami.

If you are looking for sensibility, realistic action and tactics and a plot that resembles a plot, don’t watch this. If you want to see car chases, explosions, and the always popular lead actor diving through the air firing guns or rolling on the floor firing guns, sit down and start eating popcorn!

A Simpson/Bruckheimer production directed by Michael Bay, and that pretty much details what you are going to see for the next couple of hours. Amazing looking scenes, fancy camera angles for the sake of making the audience going wow, more explosions than you can count and lots of wrecked cars.

Its a fun movie with lots of action, personable leads (Will Smith and Martin Lawrence) but its a very different movie to say, Miami Vice which was much more realistic with its gun fights. You will see two cops armed with handguns going up against several bad guys with automatic weapons. You will see destruction on a large scale that not only would get the cops fired but would result in several deaths in the real world.

But Bad Boys 2 is not the real world and not expected to be, so instead the viewer can enjoy a couple of hours away from the grind of life and enjoy a good looking action movie!

Movie Review – American Psycho

Posted on 16th August 2007 by Welshrogue in Movie Review,Movies

A Wall Street stoke broker becomes a psychotic killing machine as he loses touch with reality.

Christian Bale stars as Patrick Bateman the psycho whose life no longer can keep his mind occupied and away from his murderous urges.

This is one of the funniest, darkest movies I have ever seen. It is so dark, so violent and yet, keeps you laughing all the way. Patrick Bateman’s discussions of Huey Lewis and the News as well as Whitney Huston and Phil Collins are hilarious considering he is usually about to kill some unsuspecting victim at the same time.

Setting the movie in the late 80s was a move of sheer genius, as it takes away from the violence by making this look dated with its ‘cordless’ phones that are the size of PSP’s, the wireless stereo headphones as well as the music.

This is a very dark movie that a lot of people probably won’t ‘get’ or like but its their loss, because this is one of the craziest, funniest movies I have seen.
