Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever (2002)
what are you all on about? it was good...
Ok, I've read all of the nasty things everyone said about this film yet still I insisted on seeing it mainly for ray park but even more so to see what the fuss was about. I walked into the film with low expectations (because of all of your comments), namely a lame plot, unanswered questions, and a hell of a lot of explosions. I went to the theatres, I saw the movie and I liked it... a lot. It was good! Sure, I have seen better but I definitely have seen worse! Granted, like every movie- there was cheesy moments but I think it was overall was good. Now, I know you all who hated the film must be thinking that I'm mad and I can't tell a good movie from a bad one- but I can. This wasn't "Judge Dredd" bad and that movie was horribly BAD. And granted it wasn't "Gladiator" good but it certainly wasn't as bad as most of you said it was.
The movie had a great plot. I liked it because it made the viewer have to put it together and also character development was made throughout the film and not initially in the first 20 minutes. Furthermore, when the movie started it started- there were no slow moments (or at least not that I can remember). Ray Park and Lucy Liu were fabulous. That climax fight was amazing, granted it could have been longer (I'm sure we all would've like that).
Bottom line- the movie wasn't that bad as every made it out to be
Beautiful Joe (2000)
it was better than i thought, a lot better than i thought
definitely not what i expected from the trailer. it was so much better, i'm not a sharon stone fan- however she was really good in this film. i'd pick it up if i were you. billy connelly was really fabulous. and together as a pair on the screen they were great.
Multi-Facial (1995)
no wonder spielberg was impressed
i first saw vin diesel in pitch black and fell in love with him instantaneously, then i saw multi-facial and this guy has some REAL talent. He is so much better than some of the big-time hollywood actors out there. He really blew me away because he portrayed different characters to the tee. he was awesome, the short film was awesome, the writing was awesome, and vin was awesome (still is).
