Metro, a review by addicted2dvd

Metro
Mega-star Eddie Murphy (The Nutty Professor, Beverly Hills Cop series) teams with Michael Rapaport (Beautiful Girls) and Michael Wincott (The Crow) in this wildly entertaining, action-packed hit! Murphy plays Scott Roper, a fast-talking, wisecracking, on-the-edge hostage negotiator whose offbeat-but-winning style has made him San Francisco's top mediator! Roper will say...and do...absolutely anything to get his man. But when it comes to face to face with a psychotic killer who's playing a lethal game of cat and mouse, he's finally met his match! Don't miss the excitement as the always amusing Murphy packs Metro with outrageous action that has critics and audiences cheering!

My Thoughts:
This is another movie I have had in my collection for a very long time... but it seems I have only watched the one time. I wouldn't say this is the best Action-Comedy I ever seen... but it is definitely enjoyable. I liked most the characters... there was lots of fun scenes... but I think there could have been a bit more comedy in the mixture for this one.

A Knight's Tale, a review by DJ Doena

Heath Ledger    ...    Sir William Thatcher / Sir Ulrich von Lichtenstein from Gelderland
Rufus Sewell   ...    Count Adhemar of Anjou
Shannyn Sossamon   ...    Lady Jocelyn
Paul Bettany   ...    Geoffrey Chaucer
Laura Fraser   ...    Kate the Farrier
Mark Addy   ...    Roland
Alan Tudyk   ...    Wat Falhurst

Synopsis: Will, Roland and Wat have a problem: their master, a former over-the-hill champion has just died during a tournament of jousting and they haven't eaten for three days. Will decides to finish the joust in his master's stead and succeeds. But what now? Now Will impersonates a knight and competes in the tournaments throughout France until he meets his greatest challenge at the World Championships in London.

My Opinion: I've decided to switch between more serious movies and more funnier ones. A Knight's Tale is also a very good movie and watching it made me sad that Heath Ledger has already gone. The music is great and the story is funny and yet bears a certain seriousness, It asks a very important question: "What makes a man 'noble'", a question that will come up again in Braveheart. I also liked how they used the music in the certain scenes (e.g. the dance scene).
