Maybe it's the amount of time Pac isn't rapping, but this album is just missing something to take it to the next level. The best, like 'Stay True' and 'Under Pressure' are great, but there's nothing in Pac's best 30 songs from this project. It's still a really enjoyable album though. In terms of his discography, it's hovering around 'Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z.'. The best aren't as good, but it's more consistent. Beats: ★★★★ Rapping/Bars: ★★★★ Hooks: ★★★★ Best Tracks: Bury Me a G, Stay True, Under Pressure, How Long Will They Mourn Me?, Str8 Ballin' 1. Bury Me a G 88 The Isley Brothers' sample works so well. I don't rate this as highly as I used to. 2. Don't Get It Twisted 86 I feel like B-Real is about to start rapping. It sounds like a Cypress Hill song. Nevertheless, the bounce still hits. 3. Shit Don't Stop 70 This doesn't really feel that much like a Pac song either with so much funk sampling. It sounds more like something from Digital Underground. Funk is funk though. 4. Pour Out a Little Liquor 82 5. Stay True 93 Curtis Mayfield's 'Just Want to Be With You' sample makes this feel so soulful and the best song. 6. How Long Will They Mourn Me? 88 Another song to add to the list of Nate Dogg's killer hooks. 7. Under Pressure 93 Hard as... 8. Street Fame 81 This doesn't sound mixed extremely well but it works for the grittiness. 9. Cradle to the Grave 74 Enjoyable, with a nice contrasting hook, but one of the weaker moments. 10. Str8 Ballin' 93 Another great use of sampling. 'What's a Telephone Bill?' by Bootsy's Rubber Band adds to the chill vibe.

There are one or two scenes in this that feel a bit out of place. They seem like they are in the film purely to tug the heart strings, mainly with the talking about love being the most important ingredient in cooking... It reminded me of Everybody Loves Raymond. Apart from that though, it's good to see Boardwalk Empire's Michael Pitt back doing something and the based on a true story plot is interesting. Not far off a 3.5/5 for me.

Probably less enjoyable than the first 2. We watch these films to see the collection of action heroes, not the young dudes whose acting is questionable without the star power. Plenty of cool action scenes without any truly memorable ones. Just another action flick.

[Spoilers]Jack is annoying as stepping on a Lego block. There are a couple of twists but the second last one is stupid. There isn't enough background to suggest them killing each other is even a possibility. Then there's the last one...Sara was a great actor... The lead is unlikable. A fairly boring movie overall. 1.5-2 out of 5.

[Spoilers]The Fisher King starts off interesting with a radio jock's advice leading to the caller massacring then killing themselves. It develops into a rom-com in the middle of the movie before going back to a drama/comedy film. The relationship between Jack and Anne gets tired as well. A bit of a mixed bag of a movie. 3-2.5 out of 5.
