Tears of the Sun was a rather abysmal disappointment to all the hype which surrounded it. Action-wise, it of course delivered (although nowhere near the level of Black Hawk Down). The story line pit Navy S.E.A.L. Bruce Willis against your typical bleeding heart doctor, who he’s supposed to be extracting, and a bunch of Islamic…

Ok, since I’m reviewing the same story done almost exactly the same way only in two different formats (book and movie), I’m going to make this review short. The movie covers just a bit more than half of the book, ending in the later middle of the original story line of the book. As I…

What can I tell you other than, “Wow?” Suddenly, Martin Lawrence is a comic mastermind and Big Momma’s House is pure comedic gold. Gold I tell you! Gold I say!!!

A soldier’s fear of cowardice essentially lands him in hot water with his friends and fiancée. From this he sets off to make things right and prove he’s not a coward, or die trying. After that, as typical of Hollywood, they make drastic and sweeping changes.

Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones back in action for a typical sequel.
