This is a decent crime/thriller and closer to a 3.5 than a 2.5 out of 5 as it's engaging enough from the start to the end but it does have issues. I found the acting at the start more forced than it should've been; however, that eases after the opening. The whole thing of him turning the tap off is a mistake I don't think he'd make and how the detectives act like noticing that at the crime scene was such an amazing observation is just poor writing.

As a big MJ fan, this was great and I wish the Estate would spend some time showing this kind of love to albums like Dangerous and HIStory. If only his greedy father and family just let the man tour after Thriller by himself. How different things could have turned out... The only negative aspects for me were that some songs seemed like they were spoken about for 30 minutes, while others like P.Y.T., and to a greater extent, The Lady In My Life, received nothing more than a mention. They also spoke about Starlight, which was the song that became Thriller, which has almost identical instrumentation and melody, but unless I daydreamed for ten seconds, they didn't mention why the change was made. It also would've been better if they talked further about some songs that didn't make the album like The Toy and the amazing Sunset Driver.

The historians, critics and French had a ball criticising this but I did enjoy it. Even with the bewilderingly inconsistent decision of Ridley Scott and Co not worrying about the accents of the actors (Americas shouting 'Vive la France' doesn't quite work) most of the time but having other actors speak in one, it still successfully took me back to the 18th and 19th centuries. A light 3.5/5.

This is another example of a movie that doesn't need to be so damn long. By the time they were up to the final battle, I was over it. It has some adult themes in it and then finishes with a moral for 6 year olds about the need to work together. Lots of corny jokes and insults without enough memorable action scenes. I'll give it points for some originality at the end though with the chain of cars attached to the helicopter.

The third in the Rise and Grind series from T-Rock and Dark Cappa sees more of the same formula as before. As with the others, it doesn't overstay its welcome, clocking in at only 27 minutes and is all decent gangsta rap. It's easy to press play and let it ride, with an improving second half, but at the same time, there is nothing memorable. Best Tracks: Grind Harder, Show Me the Money, Neener
