This is based on a Basket Ball team in Texas. Its the Texas Western University Basketball team in the NCAA Division one basketball. The coach has his first try to take a team to the top. And this is all taking place in the 1966, and at the peak of racial America. The difference of color was really made known, and especially in Texas. They were facing a hard time with all the other teams, as well as the difficulty of facing racial America. At the time nobody was starting African Americans on basketball teams. They were always on reserve! But this coach Haskins was different! He didnt see color, all he saw was a basketball skills and how he could form a formidable team that could win. I think this movie had characters who had a great combination together, each one with his own struggle and complementing the other character. But then in the end they were all fighting for the championship as one team! It was great, and really enjoyable!

Christian Bale is an amazing actor, and he lives and breaths the characters he plays! Im not here to judge his acting skills! But he is damned good! I love this movie! Michael Keaton and Christian Bale stand at the same level in my opinion! He did Batman justice! He brought back the distraught Hero, the Dark Hero! I have seen this movie quiet a few times and I stil enjoy it everytime I watch it. I havent seen it in over six months so it was fun watching it last night!
One thing I really want from that movie! Is that damn Tank! That is what is needed to drive in Kuwait and any where else! that is one monstrous vehicle! If you need to go fast just hit the turbine engine to make you go fast! You can ram through walls! I love the superswaper tires! Its got half off-road and half on-road characteristics! Probably has a great sound system! Enough seating for two people! what more could you ask for! Seriously! I would plow through people who are annoying in Kuwait! And anywhere else for that matter! I want this car! I want to build it! I will do it from scratch if I had the damn schematics! I know what tires he used, the engine and a few other thigns but thats it! I need the rocket launcher, state of the art light weight armor for the body! It should withstand a direct hit from a tank! I really want this thing! And parking is not going to be a problem! Like who is going to tow it!
Most of everyone knows by now that the main story behind this series is underground racing, or people’s lives revolving around racing so I wont go over that. All I have to say is this is as good as the first one! The second one was horrible! But this third one had a very good story line, we amazing cars, and drifting like crazy. The music fit the movie perfectly. You get to see a side of Japan that you have never seen before and thats whats great. The main character seems to have a thick Texan accent, but it fits that he is a foreigner in Japan or a Geijin (outsider). If you enjoy fast cars, and cool story line then I recommend this movie for you. There is something special at the end that will make you go wild! What I liked about this one is that there is more real driving, and less graphic and special affects like the second one. So if you have some time, and what to enjoy a light movie then go ahead and watch this! And so many sick ass cars! I need to move to Japan! hehehe!

When I first saw this movie I thought it was just going to be a regular romantic comedy with a guy, and things turning out normally. And I love Jeniffer Aniston! I think she is fantastic! The story starts off with Aniston going back to Pasadena from New York to go to her sister’s wedding with her boyfriend who she is engaged to but wont tell anyone. Its pretty funny to begin with, and I thought it was going to be a regular story. But then they tell the story of some scandal happening in Pasadena and it got famous. I dont want to give away the story, but I have to say this is one entertaining dysfunctional family. And most of it happened between San Francisco and Pasadena. And for me it hit a personel note when I looking a places and road I was just at. So overall I really enjoyed the movie, and Aniston was great with her quirkiness. I have to say that there a few parts where I was like I love her! hehehe! If your looking for an enjoyable romantic comedy then this is it!

This movie is a French movie staring Jean Reno, and a few other French stars. It starts off as a Noir type movie set in Paris. And the main character in this movie is Paul Nerteaux (Jocelyn Quivrin) who is trying to solve a bunch of sirial murders in his hands. The movie starts off in two seperate parts, and then slowly starts putting itself back together. And then there is Anna Heymes (Arly Jover) who is having mental problems from the beginning of the movie. During all this the Turkish Mafia is causing havoc in Paris and people are getting out of their way. There are a lot part to this movie coming together, and for a while you will be jumping back and forth, and its a bit confusing. The characters themselves are really good, and you reall get involved with them. Jean Reno is the old school cop who was thrown out of the police force for some dirty work, and different investigational tactics. Jean and Jocelyn play the good and bad cop really well, the expert and rookie. The one part that kept confusing me is that they didnt tie the stories together until later. The story itself was a bit too jumpy for too long, I thought the story was one thing until I saw that it all tied together in a different way. I think they tied too many stories together for this movie so they couldnt go in depth into one or two stories, so things kept changing and you kept getting introduced to new characters and too many questions are left. Thats why Im giving this movie a 2.5 out of 5.

I saw this movie the other night, and its the story about a shipbuilder who goes to the Naval Academy. The main actor (James Franco) is an ok actor, and he was acting opposite Jordana Brewster (Fast and the Furious), and also Tyrese Gibson is in this movie. For me Tyrese is what brought the movie down a lot, and the story just wasnt complete. It was a good movie just to kill sometime, and it wasnt a horrible movie. It felt lost between G.I.Jane and Rocky, because the story revolves around boxing and being in the naval academy. If you have some time you might want to watch the movie, but other than that I wouldnt recommend it.

I just saw this movie with my friends the other night, and I have to say I wasn’t disappointed! This can be considered one of Pixar’s hit movies. The animation was fantastic, and the sounds of all the cars were amazing, and the characters of each car was hilarious! There was a truck who sounded like he was from the south, and our friend studied in Georgia and we couldnt stop laughing because they sounded the same. I think people who like Pixar animation movies will love this movie. It has a fantastic story line, with a great plot. You laugh a lot and your heart gets touched just at the right moments. They brought these objects we call cars to life in this movie. And the main character Lighting McQueen is something to see. And you can identify with so many of the different cars. You have a bunch of endearing eccentric characters in this town and a big race that you cant wait to see. I dont want to give the story away, but im giving this movie 5 out of 5.

New Chevy Camaro to star in Transformers movie
transformers-2007-camaro.jpgThe Chevrolet Camaro Concept will star in the forthcoming “Transformers†movie, which is due for release on July 4th, 2007 (07-04-07). The film — which was first announced last year — is a collaboration between Paramount, DreamWorks, and Hasbro. Apparently, “Bumblebee†is going to start out as a 1970s Camaro, and then be rebuilt as a 2008/2009 Camaro. Meanwhile, “Starscream†is going to be an F-22 Raptor, and “Optimus Prime†is going to be a fire truck. Judging by the license plate on the new Camaro, tuner Saleen also has involvement with the project. A Saleen Mustang police car will also appear in the film.

I just saw this movie at the Apollo cinema in London. I had a few expectations but I came out feeling different then what I expected. I knew some facts about Enron but not close to the amount of facts that I know now. This is a documentary type movie, and gives you a glimpse of the corporate giant once called Enron.
I had personal feelings attached to this because I lived during those times in California. And I lived with the ridiculous electrical expenses and rolling black outs in Northern-California. To know the truth I felt enraged but I was happy about knowing the truth. I wish I could do something but I can’t, but at least I know. And knowing is half the battle!
I can’t recommend this movie enough to people. This is really worth watching and seeing what corporate giants get away with in the financial world which is worse then robbing any bank or even Fort Knox for that matter. Many people’s lives have been ruined, and it caused one of the large accounting giants to go down with it. There is a lot attached to it, and recently a judgment was reached for some of the executives of Enron, but still it isn’t enough.
