WHO'S HOT? - COMMON |
 | |
Common
Celebrate (Official Video) |
Will Smith, LL, Tupac, Ice Cube, Queen Latifah and a few others broke the mold by transferring their musical talents to acting strength. Common is on that level now with a great role on the AMC Series, "HELL ON WHEELS." It's an excellent series and his new album, "THE DREAMER, THE BELIEVER," is out now. And yes, it's hot. C'mon now, who's hotter than that?
Tell us who?

Who can forget THE HANGOVER? Seriously, even if you don't like movies or you are a film snob, you have definitely heard about THE HANGOVER which is arguably one of the most loved comedies in some years. Comedies over the years have not achieved the type of grandiose position they once occupied at the box-office in the 80's, and early 90's. Perhaps times are so tough, movie-goers would rather cry or be scared at the movies as opposed to falling outta their seat with laughter. I remember the screening of the first one. I knew that night America had a bona-fide hit on its hands. I only make that conclusion when I feel the film has some basic standards. It has to have a story that makes sense even if it is sci-fi, fantasy or mystery. The actors must be believable even if their character doesn't pop off the screen. The director must show the story in a way that is professional and not look like a high school project. And lastly, a film must have music and a score that enhances the entire movie-going experience. Sorry, not down with the silent movie buzz at all. The first HANGOVER utilizes music from Kanye West to Danzig. That is brilliant right there for the types that like to flow to Vegas.
So now, part II is out on DVD and it's definitely worth your time. Here are 5 Reasons Why You should Buy It or at least see it.
Top Five
1. In the words of the late, great Richard Pryor, (edited of course) "Zack Galifianakis - that dude can make you laugh at a funeral, on Sunday, Christmas Day."
2. There are some scenes in the film that are so funny you actually wonder how in the hell did they come up with that? And why am I laughing at something so insane? Oh well, it's funny.
3. Bradley Cooper gets shot. The "it" boy needed some humbling. Cool dude though.
4. When the fellas awake this time, they have a monkey for a new best friend.
5. Mike Tyson makes another appearance.
This film will not be regarded as an all time classic and it is not as great as the first one, but what I did like about it is the filmmakers tried to be a little extreme. Maybe they can be blamed or the studio execs for clearly trying to out-do the first one but filmmakers and studio honchos should remember The New Coke. Sometimes, the first formula, setting etc is all you need. HANGOVER Part III - The Vegas Reunion. I can see that.

THE FILM YOU MUST SEE IN JANUARY 2012
If you don't know the word "Rampart,"ask someone in Los Angeles.
RAMPART in Select Theaters January 27
Woody Harrelson, Ned Beatty, Ben Foster, Anne Heche, Ice Cube, Cynthia Nixon, Sigourney Weaver, Robin Wright and Steve Buscemi
 | |
Will Woody Win an Oscar for this role? The rumors say yes. |
Los Angeles, 1999. Officer Dave Brown (two-time Academy Award(R) nominee Woody Harrelson) is a Vietnam vet and a Rampart Precinct cop, dedicated to doing "the people's dirty work" and asserting his own code of justice, often blurring the lines between right and wrong to maintain his action-hero state of mind. When he gets caught on tape beating a suspect, he finds himself in a personal and emotional downward spiral as the consequences of his past sins and his refusal to change his ways in light of a department-wide corruption scandal seal his fate. Brown internalizes his fear, anguish and paranoia as his world, complete with two ex-wives who are sisters, two daughters, an aging mentor dispensing bad advice, investigators galore, and a series of seemingly random women, starts making less and less sense. In the end, what is left is a human being stripped of all his pretense, machismo, chauvinism, arrogance, sexism, homophobia, racism, aggression, misanthropy; but is it enough to redeem him as a man? |
