Kendrick Lamar!!!! No wonder I didn't like it!
All the Stars is a great song and you know it. That song will win Kendrick an Oscar or two for soundtrack and original song.

Ya want me to read? Write a book. Ya want me to watch? Make a movie. Ya want me to read and watch? Make porn so I don't have to read.I wish the sub titles matched the lines quicker...or better yet,I knew the language. I don’t think I’ll like those ones though.
Well I highly doubt most people would like subtitled films. I get that CC. I watch lots of stuff though...silent films,to Asian cinema,to regular commercial flicks.Ya want me to read? Write a book. Ya want me to watch? Make a movie. Ya want me to read and watch? Make porn so I don't have to read.
Edward G. was always my fav. gangsterDownshifted back into the dirty 30’s.

I always view these as a double header. They’re favs of mine. Just drop me off in a WBs backlot alley during that time....any old gangster flick will do.
Now here’s one I really like that isn’t well known.
The Sea Wolf. -41
Edward G.Robinson plays such a dirty low down rotten scoundrel in this...hilarious. Love that guy.
Heck yeah,”Rico Bandello” was it alright. I sit there laughing at his angry phone call to the “coppers” at the end. And in Key Largo as “Rocco”...I love watching him count the money on the bar in that. Wish he could have played more straight gangster films. I liked him in Film Noirs too. That famous scene of dialog he does in Double Indemnity is masterful. One take...nailed it.Edward G. was always my fav. gangster
I didn’t think it was Mummy bad, but I was expecting some groundbreaking stuff based off of the hype it initially got. I was expecting The Dark Knight levels of superhero badassness based off of what I was seeing and hearing. I left the theater disappointed.
I just rewatched it, and I think it was entertaining, and I don’t wanna drag race into it, but I think that finally having an awesome black superhero is overdue, especially for young boys to look up to; kids all do now. In that way, I think it did its job exceptionally well. I’m glad the movie was made.
But as far as quality goes? I’ve seen better superhero movies in the Marvel universe. The CGI was great, I think Chadwick played a good lead role, and it had some cool battle scenes, and that cool car chase at the start. I think the concept of it taking place in somewhere dope like Africa instead of another generic New York or Hollywood super hero is cool too. And I think Kendrick Lamar nailed the soundtrack. The concept was unique, but it could have been better.
That’s all it did for me. 5.5/10.

Loved Blade. Since that was before he served time, I think Blade IV should have been in prison with him whoopin' some *** on some vampire convicts.What do you mean, finally? Blade is like 20 years old and much more awesome than BP.
Yeah,he’s good in anything.Have you ever seen "Our Vines Have Tender Grapes"?
Eddy G plays a Wisconsin dairy farmer
Way out of character
Really good family movie.
I bailed on the Cruise movie early too.Watched Boris Karloff in The Mummy
Fun & a lil eerie
7/10
Then I watched Tom Cruise's version
Got 8 minutes in a turned it off
That's the most overrated (probably biased) review I've ever read.
lol. Stop messing with me. How is posting those website's numbers 'bias'?That's the most overrated (probably biased) review I've ever read.

There is generally a divergence between paid critics and audience grading, mostly because paid critics' reviews are summarily static in nature (e.g. limited number of applicable reviews) and audience polling is perpetually fluid since the latter is fueled by an undetermined number of tabulated final opinions. It is the reason why sites like Rotten Tomatoes publishes an (usual) unchanging group paid critics summation, while the audience's overall judgment wavers as more opinions are provided. If memory serves, Rotten Tomatoes' initial audience rating was higher than paid critics' but has gradually decreased over time. Meanwhile, the paid critics' rating remains virtually unchanged since the film debuted.I think it shows a divergence between critics and audiences (though I have seen much larger differences).
