Jason X (2001)
A complete waste of money and time
This film was quite simply, a complete waste of my money and time. The acting was pathetic, the storyline was a joke, and some scenes were simply laughable they were so bad. The only good thing to comment on was the way most of the victims died, they were creative. Overall, I give this film 0 out of 10.
Promises (2001)
Changed my perspective
When I turned on the Discovery channel and saw a what was on, I was immediatly captivated by "Promises". The story is of seven Israeli and Palestinian children living in or around the city of Jerusalem and their hate for each other, which slowly changes. The most emotional scene for me was seeing Faraj breaking down and being reduced to tears during the meeting between Israeli and Palestinian children, it suddenly changed my perspective on the whole conflict. All that we in England see is the evil suicide bombers and the annoying Palestinians who won't leave Israel alone, but when seen from deep within the conflict, you just can't help but sympathise. Although the most shocking scene was Mahmoud openly supporting Hamas and saying "the more buses we blow up, the angrier Israel gets".
Promises has to be the most emotional documentary that I have ever seen.
U-571 (2000)
Typical American's making themselves look big
This is a film about American's showing off how good they are. First off, it was the English who captured and decoded Enigma.. so why is this film about American's doing it? Does it appeal to American's in general? Whats next? did the American's conquer England instead of the Romans? It wouldn't suprise me if they made a movie about it, or maybe the USA beating Germany 4-2 in the 1966 World Cup Final?
If you want to watch a good submarine movie, watch Das Boot, and not this pathetic excuse for a history lesson.
Kiss of the Dragon (2001)
pecs of death...
This was one of the best Jet Li films i've seen for some time, and it certainly surpasses Romeo Must Die. The martial arts performed by Jet Li and numerous others were second to none, just the best.
As for holes in the storyline, does that matter? the action surpassed the storyline in my opinion.
Full 10.
