This is a mixed bag. 'I Need You' is the clear standout and others listed below get the toe tapping but there is too much I'm not feeling from the Earth, Wind & Fire founder's solo debut. Best Tracks: Jamboree, I Need You, Lady Is Love, Invitation

T-Rock is as amazing as ever to listen to rap, but the production isn't as likeable as the usual instrumentation he has on his solo albums, there aren't as many memorable moments, and like most collaboration albums he does, the other artists don't live up to him. For example, 'No Remorse' is fairly lackluster until T-Rock comes in at the end. 'Friday 13th' is easily the best song with T-Rock killing it as he kicks the song off and adding a likeable hook too. Elsewhere, it's all listenable with a surprising feature from The Game on the previously released 'Block 2 Block', but for only eight songs, there isn't enough t revisit for a higher rating.

Chingy has been harshly rated as a rapper his entire career. He has always had an enjoyable flow with a unique voice, and some dope production behind him. This is another more than decent project. 'Can't Blame Me' feels like some of the best moments he had on his first two albums with its bouncy production plus a catchy hook. 'ALL CAPP' falls into the same category without being as strong. 'She Do It' is the only poor moment on the EP. The chorus sounds like something Soulja Boy wrote. Twista helps the song, but can't save it. 'DAT GOOD' is a decent slow jamz/pop rap song. The strengths of the project are 'Do Ya Thing' and 'Eurrthang'. It's a shame that 'Do Ya Thing' has a terrible feature though. Why does anyone like the mumbling, depressive, garbage delivery that T Hood brings? Only one bad feature and one bad song make this EP worth a listen if you like Chingy on the microphone.

If I didn't have the speed-up extension, I don't think I would have been able to finish this. It's so painfully unfunny with most of the jokes not coming close to landing.

Tom is great as usual in the lead role but for the most part the story grabbed me less than most of the other MI films preceding this one. Again, I dislike the Benji character who just doesn't fit in at all with the other agents in the field. He is too much of a goofball. The amount of exposition in this seems less subtle as well. There is some 27 minutes in that really wasn't needed. And then later on Ilsa tells Ethan to remember something for exposition purposes. And then again there is some later in the movie. If the film is that complicated that you need to do this, rewrite the script, otherwise, don't insult the viewers and the characterisation of Ethan that you've built for 5 movies. There also seems to be more foreshadowing/luck to save the day in this film as well where precise predictions of the villain's actions are required. Also, the villain is trying to be menacing with the way he speaks but it doesn't quite work in my opinion. Overall, it all still makes for an engaging action film, but it could have elevated to the next level without these problems.
