Focus (II) (2015)
7/10
Where Do I Start...
11 March 2015
First off , Will Smith absolutely played his course with these playboy roles. Im not buying it anymore dude. Secondly Margot is gorgeous but she is too gorgeous to play a believable femme fatale. I felt the acting was outstanding for obvious reasons. But the films two stars weren't right fits for the parts i feel like. Big names , great faces, add the amazing chemistry and this should have taken off as a great movie. But it hasn't and I think the missing element was the fact that Will in unbelievable and so is she.

If the characters are not believable you do not have a movie. But i will say it was well made, well acted and it wasn't too drawn out. I actually really liked it till i realized maybe a Ryan Gosling and a Mara Rooney could have been a nice mix or a female that has an edgy look mixed with the James Bond look. Idk , this just didn't do it for me at the end of the day.

Great intelligent intellectual story, Above average screenplay,Great locations and filming dynamic-- automatically 7 star movie..

The Program (1993)
9/10
Loved This Movie They Should Make An Updated Version... But...
11 March 2015
Man, first off let me say, what a well acted and fantastic movie in general. The young guys playing the football stars were believable and well prepped. I also loved James Caan character. He seemed like a genuine college coach who had flaws, and issues along with that something that makes him who he is!.

Also this was one of the very first movies I saw about college life for an inner city youth and college football shown from a darker perspective. Omar Epps character is so well thought out and that I wish we could have seen more of him, more of his highlights, a better background story. I loved the fact the kid came from the city and was big time. But at the same time, i barely felt like i was part of his big time life in high school like i think a Boobie Miles may have felt back in the same time. I understand thats Texas but you get my drift.

I really liked how the kids had their own issues and families and problems displayed throughout the movie as well. It made it so much more believable, i wish they would make a revamped version where we can actually feel that Heisman race in full effect.

Overall I think this is one of the best college football movies ever made, The movie should be longer to add small details, i wouldn't mind one bit. I loved it and have to give it 9 out of 10 baby! --Only because when you look at the genre of College Football/ Football movies in general, this one actually ranks very high among the best ever in my opinion.

Rudy being a 10/10 and North Dallas 40 being a 10/10 Any Given Sunday 10/10

Firewall (2006)
6/10
I thought it had its moments, but overall just average at best!

Well I have loved all Harrison Ford movies since I can remember. I found Firewall to be a pretty solid movie. The main criminal seems ruthless which I like and his followers seem to hold their own which made it seem way more believable to me.

Harrison Ford's acting was useful to the movement of the movie because honestly to it would have dragged on if it had been a lesser actor. The story line is the same old one from many movies about this subject matter but at the end of the day Firewall really isn't as bad as it could have been.

I am going to say that if you haven't seen this or even heard of it. Give it a look , you will see that its not so bad.

I love movies like Die Hard where the criminal element is real , uses logic, has a mission that they will do anything to attain in a believable way. I feel like a lot of people get to caught up in the review and forget some people want to see it based on the movie info not just what they think..
