Enter the Dragon (1973)

Reviewed on Aug 19, 2006

Action sequences are OK, but the story in between is silly. Lee sure is quick. I love the sound they used for people falling onto the ground in the 70’s.

It’s a war movie, but what’s the angle? We don’t really get to see any of the characters growing from the experience. Gibson is kind of annoying. Not enough story to distract us from his nervous ticks. Did Stowe go overboard with the collagen lips, or have they always been…

Beverly Hills Cop II (1987)

Reviewed on Aug 2, 2006

Scott continues the story and characters faithfully and adds some of his distinct flavor with, nice photography, colorful filters, and really great synth score that pumps up scene after scene.
