The Review: Law Abiding Citizen

Law Abiding Citizen 7/10

I watched Law Abiding Citizen a few days ago almost nine years to the day I had watched it for the first time. This movie walks a very fine line between cheesy unbelievability and harsh ass reality. Clyde Shelton is happily living his inventor life with his wife and daughter and moments later some dudes break in, tie him and his wife up, and do god knows what to them before killing them. Nick Rice is representing Shelton in court and mentions that one of the guys is taking a plea deal so he'll walk free. Shelton is like “But they raped and killed my family.” Rice is like “This is how it works. Sorry.” So one of the guys walks away super free and Shelton sees Rice shake the guys hand and vanishes. We fast forward ten years later and Rice has his wife and daughter and he heads off to see the execution of one of the guys. During the execution the guy says how the one that got off free is the one that did all the raping and uh killing. He gets injected and shit goes bad real fast. He starts bleeding and flailing before finally dying. Turns out someone switched the juice. Uh oh...?

The Review: Be Cool and Mr. Nobody

Be Cool 5/10

I watched the movie Be Cool from 2005 because...reasons. I'm not even exactly sure why I watched it but I did. Guess what? Its not that good. Thankfully I was able to fast forward all of the parts where Christina Milian performed. I'm not sure how popular she was twelve years back but apparently it was enough to warrant quite a few songs from her. This stars John Travolta as a guy that worked in the mob at some point and trying to be a movie producer. There is also Uma Thurman, Cedric The Entertainer, Andre 3000, The Rock, Aerosmith...just a lot of folks. Its ridiculous.
