Mark Wahlberg is the guy with all the cool guns and man, can he sure use them!!

Thrilling movie about a black OP agency with no name that chooses the wrong guy to be their patsy. Top notch action, great story and great performances.

I noticed early, even before the characters made reference to it, how after the assassination the similarities between this kill and the JFK assassination, how quickly information was available about the shooter mere minutes after the deed was done. Michael Pena's FBI role surmised this but he had difficulty finding people to listen or believe him.

Danny Glover was ok but the part he was playing started to look a little foolish considering the amount of swagger and confidence he had but whose actions never panned out or justified the bravado.

Two beauties in this one, Kate Mara & Rhona Mitra. Kate was great and gorgeous even with those sunken eyes. Rhona has always been a favorite of mine and although her character was a little uptight and fierce at first she redeemed herself with a simple scene... her answering the phone in her home with her hair let down and showing off her well toned midriff... deadly sexy! 

Wahlberg is quickly becoming one of my favorite action stars. He's no nonsense, leveled and more down to earth than most of the puffed up action stars of today. Curious to see him in the new action comedy The Other Guys, oddly paired up with the one dimensional Will Ferrell.

Cyrano de Bergerac, a review by addicted2comics

The Plot: The charismatic swordsman-poet helps another woo the woman he loves in this straightforward version of the play.

My Thoughts: I just finished this movie from English class, and let me say I've thoroughly enjoyed it. The effects are....somewhat cheesy at times, but the action, romance, the war, the emotion behind being an outcast......the twist at the end really gets you. (Unless of coarse you've already read the play.) Cyrano is a solid 5 out of 5.

Angel Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

18. Five by Five
Original Air Date: 4/25/2000
Wolfram & Hart approach Faith with the promise to get all the murder charges she faces back in Sunnydale dropped in exchange for one small favor - killing Angel.

Guest Stars:
Julie Benz
Christian Kane
Thomas Burr
Tyler Christopher
Stephanie Romanov
Eliza Dushku

My Thoughts:
Not only do we get flashbacks of when Angelus first gets his soul back... but we also have Faith coming to town. Awesome episode! Faith really roughed up Wesley a bit!

My Rating:
