I have revisited this and the biggest issue is Willie's character, who basically whinges for 2 hours. The second is that the scenes in the underground temple go on for too long. Prior to that, the movie moves at a fast pace, but then it seems like they are stuck there for half of the film. That aside, it's a fun action-adventure but is a level below the other movies in the trilogy. 3.5-3/5

An odd movie that begins with a husband (Cal) and wife (Isabel) dinning and discussing how many proposals they have had throughout their life, Cal having a number and Isabel only the one, from Cal. That then leads to Cal betting Isabel that she couldn't get someone to propose to her. The whole premise, for a married woman, to get close enough to someone for them to propose to her, which often comes after being intimate and years together makes little sense. I won't spoil the rest, but dismissing the plot issues, the first half to three-quarters has some quirky humour and I found it entertaining. The second half had me questioning some of the characters' decisions and how Isabel's and Cal's relationship was going which seems farfetched.

An unexpected sequel where the change in casting is explained by saying Adam Sandler and Damon Wayans were actors playing the real Jack and Archie, which, in this film, Kirk's character takes umbrage at a Jew playing him. Long story short, the main characters are reunited in an attempt to take down a cartel. Archie becomes involved after Jack pretends to be him at the start of the film where everything goes wrong putting the real Archie in danger. There are one or two laughs, mainly due to Archie's dirty quips, that go above and beyond what we got in the original, but it seems quite forced at times, particularly from other characters. The plot is basic and is filled with gratuitous profanity, nudity and violence. With the acting, Kirk seems like he cares but Faizon can't act or was told to play the character in a too laid-back fashion, because it seems like he phoned it in at times and is never a believable cop, and I don't just think it's the weight issue.

Like many, OutKast's 'Idlewild' gave me my introduction to Janelle, for which her great voice took over the songs and was one of the more memorable things about that album. So her debut major album was always going to be a must-listen. While I don't love everything here, after a few listens I enjoy most, and it's definitely different to a lot of the other mainstream R&B/pop out there. No song sounds the same - there are many different themes present; some funk, hip hop, R&B, rock, pop and soul. The beginning of 'Oh Maker' sounds like something from the '60s and there is even what sounds like something from the 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory' soundtrack on the intro of 'Neon Valley Street' and 'Suite III Overture'. What's also great is that some songs just effortlessly flow on to the next like 'Dance or Die' to 'Faster' to 'Locked Inside' - I always like that in an album. Of the few negatives, some of tracks are skippable. For example, lyrically 'Neon Gumbo' sounds like things Borat says in Kazakh and could have probably been left out. Also 'Make The Bus' is easily my least favourite here - it's punk-influenced and does little for me, and is often skipped along with some of the short 'instrumental interlude' type of tunes. Overall, from a unique artist you have a different, fairly ambitious, multi-layered album in which could have possibly lost a track or two, but more than most of it works very well. Best Tracks: Faster, Cold War, Tightrope, Mushrooms & Roses, Neon Valley Street, Wondaland, Say You'll Go, BaBopByeYa

This lacks the consistency of his last album with a portion of this album a tad uneventful but there are still enough nice tracks on offer to be satisfied with. The production is all done by Brian McKnight himself which is a first, however, he did do a large majority of his previous studio album so the overall sound isn't a huge amount different. Like 'Ten', and unlike many other mainstream R&B artists, Brian doesn't go for any hip hop influenced production - apart from 'Next2U' that features a rap. Overall, if you enjoy Brian's previous work you'll like what's on offer here. It does drop off a bit throughout the last few tracks but overall it's a good 3 out of 5. Best Tracks: WhatI'vebeenwaiting4, Neversaygoodbye, Next2U, Imissu
