Mission Impossible Three

six out of ten

Agent Aisha your mission if you choose to accept it is: stay awake in MI3 from start to finish. Your eyelids will fall down in five seconds.

Ok. I dont like action flicks and this one had no other plot but to show you action stunts. I rate it six out of ten because the stunts were cool and I heard Tommie actually performed them himself which is really impressive. But really, would a little substance hurt? I mean to highlight the lack of plot Tommie at the end asks Luter "what's in that thing" The thing being what he spent the entire film trying to find and rescue. Yeah. Doesnt even know whats in it. And ofcourse Luther dont share. *yawn*

The Constant Gardener

seven point five out of ten

I liked this movie. I liked it because of its message. It had an important message on the illicit drug testing practices of pharm countries in Africa. They test the side effects of drugs later to be sold in the first world countries at the expense of those who are the poorest and most defenseless. This was a good movie to highlight the power of these money making giants and really makes you look at the "warnings" at the end of drug commercials with a new look. In addition to having a message it is a good "on the edge of your seat" thriller. At least I was at the edge of my seat. I reccomend it but with one warning to be prepared for. It's not well edited. It could have been shorter. So if at times you feel a little sleepy you're not alone. Get past those (or fwd those when they're endless) and you'll like the movie. Promise. I think!
