Four Brothers (2005)
A mediocre movie
I came to this movie not expecting much. And I wasn't disappointed. I gave it a six because it really isn't an awful film. The problem though is it's not a good film either. This is to be expected by those who are familiar with Singleton's previous endeavors but to those who aren't, this should be always remembered.
I won't bother with retelling the premise of the movie because if you've heard anything about it, you've heard everything there is concerning this film. Four brothers get back together to avenge their mother. That's all it is. There are no interesting side-plots; no particular character development (what the characters are in the beginning is how they wind up in the end). There is only one major action sequence that looks like it consumed most of the budget.
Save this one for the dollar theater when there's nothing better to watch. It's certainly watchable; it's place on the list of movies to watch, however, is rather low.
Team America: World Police (2004)
America - F*** Yeah!
I caught this film in a sneak preview six days before it's release. I was all hyped up for it and I'm happy to report that it lives up/exceeds the hype. This was just amazingly hilarious.
I won't go into a synopsis since that would ruin it for a lot of you I suspect. Rather, I'll leave with this word of caution - this film follows in the tradition of South Park i.e. this is not a family film - hopefully, no one was thinking that anyways but you never know.
Anyways, don't miss it. It will have you laughing all way through. Be sure to stay until the very end for a special song by our favourite dictator.
