When Serleena takes the MIB building hostage, there is only one person Jay can turn to -- his former MIB partner. 

Review 

I have nothing to say about the film. I have the same feelings about it as with the original Men In Black, but it doesn't add up to the original.

The humor has slightly become less funny.

Rating: 5/10

Juicy gossip with da homies. 

 

The very first Biao Yuen/Jackie Chan collaboration.. excluding Shaolin Wooden Men

 

Welp. He looks like he's lost the fight.

Talk to the hand.

 

The one-legged horse sure can punch good. 

This face could be poster worthy if Dragon didn't look like a potential maniac.

 

This dude really superglued their hands together.

Yeesh.

Synopsis 

"Spider-Man" centers on student Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) who, after being bitten by a genetically-altered spider, gains superhuman strength and the spider-like ability to cling to any surface. He vows to use his abilities to fight crime, coming to understand the words of his beloved Uncle Ben: "With great power comes great responsibility."

Review 

Spider-Man is one of the greatest franchises ever, okay? I've only seen the movies and I love them so much. Tobey Maguire has realistic and great acting and the fight scenes are amazing for a fantasy 2001 movie based off a kids comic book. 

I can say that this besides the Avengers is the only superhero franchise I like. LazyTown doesn't count. 

Aaanyways, Spider-Man is a faithful adaptation to the comic and you need to watch it. It's not babyish or childish, it's the OPPOSITE.

So swing to the DVD shop and rent the film.

Rush Hour 2: Faster then the original!

Directed by Brett Ratner Written by Jeff Nathanson Produced by Roger Birnbaum Starring Jackie Chan, Chris Tucker, John Lone, Zhang Ziyi
Release date: August 3, 2001

Synopsis While LAPD Detective James Carter and RHKPF Chief Inspector Lee are vacationing in Hong Kong,

a bomb explosion at the US Consulate kills two undercover customs agents.

Soon, Lee is assigned to solve the case.
Review

Hate me or not, this film is THE best Rush Hour film so far. Firstly, the humor has become ] better, Jackie Chan's acting has improved, and the fight choreography is better. Sure, the film is from the US, but it has Jackie's classic slapstick from his Hong Kong movies, and a big stunt (TWO of them! ONE DONE BY CHRIS TUCKER!)  Watch Rush Hour 2 at the Internet Archive - https://archive.org/details/123jucky  archive.org/details/rush-hour2 Watch Rush Hour 2 at Dailymotion- https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x69wjwc

Jackie Chan Screenshot Sundays - Snake in Eagle's Shadow

 

The opening to Jackie Chan's first [good] movie. 

 

Chien was getting carried for the first 25 minutes of the movie. 

'

Simon Yuen was so fast whenever he pushed somebody the cameras couldn't keep up. 

 

he's looking at him like Pai did something wrong. 

 

This pose was poster-worthy. 

 

Hello there, fancy a cuppa tea and biscooiets? 

 

After all the horrible things his master did to him he still helps him up.. 

 

Who dare smiles in the presence of master Huang Cheng Li?

SNAKE FIST!

EAGLE CLAWS!

Men in Black: Packs a Tickle

 

Directed by Barry Sonnenfeld

Written by Ed Solomon

Based on The Men in Black by Lowell Cunningham

Produced by

    Walter F. Parkes

    Laurie MacDonald

Starring   

    Tommy Lee Jones

    Will Smith

    Linda Fiorentino

    Vincent D'Onofrio

    Rip Torn

Release date: 11 September 1997 (Australia)

 

Synopsis

They are the best-kept secret in the universe. Working for a highly funded yet unofficial government agency, Kay (Tommy Lee Jones) and Jay (Will Smith) are the Men in Black, providers of immigration services and regulators of all things alien on Earth. While investigating a series of unregistered close encounters, the MIB agents uncover the deadly plot of an intergalactic terrorist who is on a mission to assassinate two ambassadors from opposing galaxies currently in residence in New York City.

Review 

Judging from what I've already watched from him, Men in Black is one of Will Smith's best movies. The movie was made out to be a film that focused on the plot in hilarious ways and it worked.

Will Smith is a terrific actor and so is Lee Jones, but Will is the highlight of the film.

Men in Black is a hilarious Sci-Fi film, one of the actual GOOD Sci-Fi movies, and I recommend it.

I'd give it a higher score if I actually remembered more about the film. It's been 4 years since watching it, and I might give it a rewatch.

Hopefully Smith doesn't slap me for not giving it a 10.

Rating: 6/10
