I WAS gonna sit down and write out a long detailed review about both movies and thought to myself...Why? Both were equally disappointing, so if you STILL want my opinion okay then here it is...RENT'EM! It's either that or wait till they come out on Blu-Ray, or better yet watch'em on a long flight to WHERE EVER you maybe going in a few months. Both get 3 out of 5 M's! Real talk!
I wouldn't believe it unless I saw it with my own two eyes man! But there it is folks, ya boy Don Cheadle has his own ACTION figure! I know you my be TOO grown to play with toys , but you GOTTA cop this for just history sake. I can count on one hand and half a hand how many black action figure EVER existed. Sam Jackson is in this one as well playing the usually portraits as white comic book character Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. so I'm thinking that will be another figure to add to the list. Let's just hope these guys are seeing real figure$ off of there likenesses! Right!
So I'm hearing that this was the number one movie at the box office this weekend. Which comes as NO surprise to me due to all the hype around it (Depp, 3-D, Burton, the story of Wonderland, yada yada yada) But to make a long review short...I should of supported "Brooklyn's Finest" like the proud "Brooklynista" I am. Because I found the movie to be so wack and bland, I have NO problem spoiling the plot for you. So if you STILL planning on seeing it, don't read ahead. Here's the deal, an older teen Alice is attending her "surprise" engagement party when anxiety hits and sees a vision of the White Rabbit hopping around leading her to that abyss hole she fell into years ago. Why no one uprooted this tree or sealed the hole yet years later, is a mystery to me! Anyway the next scenes we see are of her falling (in 3-D) and shrinking and growing back and forth for damn near 20 mins are so. Twiddle Dumb & Dumber show up and give her a quick tour of west side Wonderland before the Queen of Heart's goons show up and break up their lil' "reunion tea party." Damn, I'm getting bored just writing this, so I'll speed it. The gist is, Alice has been predestined to return to Wonderland as it's savior and return the crown and rule back to the White man...sorry White Queen and make all right with the world again. The End! But not before an 1hr. and a half of talking dogs, frogs, & dragons. Fish as servants, hedgehogs for golf balls, rabbits with A.D.D., a hat making tranny Irish accented Johnny Depp, plus a bong pot smoking caterpillar to boot. I should've gone to see this high, like the rest of the audience around me was...And I don't even smoke!
DUDE! Do you know how SERIOUS this movie is going to be?!? Wait...Did you peep the cast line up? Richard Gere! Don Mother f**kin' Cheadle! Ethan Hawke & God d#@m (I STILL owe the tax man) Wesley Snipes yo! Then you got Brooklyn as the storyline setting! I see an Oscar waiting for the title alone (if they ever started giving them out for titles lol). Mind you this film is directed by Antoine Fuqua (not Fisher) who killed it with Denzel on Training Day. You can count my ticket SOLD for this one already! But ummm, I'm NOT seeing this one in Brooklyn though. Oh HELL no! You know how BK act up! LOL! Peep the trailer. And they BETTER have this song on the soundtrack too.
Now, things have gone from bad to WORST!
Hollywood and the Media,
Try if you can to remember back to when I posted up a feature about these BK cats that are DOIN' IT on the film side of things in Bed-Stuy? Well even if you don't, I just wanted to let you know that their film is to be debuted TONIGHT! Yes, tonight, and yours truly has a "you can't blink for a second" cameo up in that piece. They wanted Don Cheadle to portray me, but he's like "He's TOO complex to be captured on film..." So he passed. Oh well his lost. Anyway, arrive early for good seats.
