Cradle 2 the Grave, a review by Silence_of_Lambs

Summary:
When his daughter is kidnapped and held in exchange for priceless diamonds, Fait (DMX), the leader of a crew of highly skilled urban thieves forges an unlikely alliance with a Taiwanese Intelligence officer (Jet Li) to rescue her. Their race against the clock to find the precious stones ultimately unravels a plot to distribute a deadly new weapon of war.

My Thoughts:
This film comes in the tradition of Exit Wounds (with better acting, since there's no Steven Seagal) and Romeo Must Die and just like them it's a festival of martial arts scenes.
The story comes along as a classical "No-Brainer" (and because of some severe plausibility leaks it's actually better to leave your brain in "StandBy), nevertheless this flick is highly enjoyable.
Not much to say against this movie: Decent story, decent acting, decent directing, ...
If you like the movies above and/or flicks like Bad Boys this film is highly recommended to you.

My Rating: (out of possible 5)

Batman: The Animated Series


On Leather Wings
Batman must clear his name when he investigates a horrifying bat creature terrorizing Gotham City.

My Thoughts:
Now to the original Batman... I used to watch this series all the time in the '90s.Definitely an enjoyable series (and episode). Though part of me would have preferred an origin story for the pilot episode. Or at least in the beginning of his journey. In this episode he was already well know in Gotham. But that is ok... if I remember right... they did go back and do an origin story at some point in this series.

My Rating:
