Licence to Kill's Opening Song

Licence To Kill (the song )

The actual song

I just love this song for this 80s James Bond movie. Gladys Knight does a great job with the wonderfully written music. The best portion of the song comes from the horn section and the music from Goldfinger. I just think the horns make the song sound extremely cool. Sure it has a bit of that 80s vibe, but I think the Goldfinger horns bring the song back to the 60s.

Take a listen.

Norbit

Norbit Congratulations, Eddie Murphy, you’ve made a movie that’s worst than even The Adventures of Pluto Nash . I don’t know how you did it, but you did. Murphy plays three different roles in the movie, but none of them are remotely funny. The main one is Norbit, a nerdy character who has married a super bully and extremely fat Rasputia (played by Murphy too). Rasputia is a horrible character. She has no redeeming qualities. She runs over dogs and cheats on her husband. She’s just disgusting to look at and Eddie Murphy isn’t interested in making her complex in any way. This is the same Murphy they did a wonderful job in Dreamgirls. What the hell happened? There is not a single good thing in this movie worth mentioning. When you combine the shitty powers of Cuba Gooding Jr. , Marlon Wayans and Eddie Griffin , you get an aimless mess of a movie with these three bad actors. I’m all for crude humor, but this movie is just dreadful. It feels like a child w...

Meg Ryan: What happened to her face?

 Meg Ryan: What happened to her face? When are these women going to stop doing these horrible surgeries to their faces and let age take its course? Slowly, these rich women are becoming cat people with plumped up lips. Was this their intent? Some woman can pull off the Milf status like Marisa Tomei, Elisabeth Shue and Lea Thompson. Others can't... Meg Ryan is not even the worst. Goldie Hawn beat her to the punch. Hawn looks like that mid-way morphing point for the liquid Terminator or Odo.    Yikes...

Starship Troopers III (Direct to Video/DVD)

Starship Troopers III? I didn’t even know anything about this movie. http://www.slashfilm.com/2008/01/09/first-look-starship-troopers-3/ I enjoy Paul Verhoeven’s work and his style. He loves mixing nudity and violence like no other. Total Recall and Basic Instinct were great movies, and they just show that he has a twisted freaky mind. When Starship Troopers came out in 97, I was more than a little disappointed with the material. However, I’ve come to enjoy it more on repeated viewing. I also liked the subtext of the Military based community that planet has in this version of the future. There was a good amount of social commentary buried in with the violence and sex. Plus, Casper Van Dien is reprising his role. I guess those late Showtime movies haven’t paid the bills. Man, this guy can’t act. Back in the first movie, which was the worst actor Denise Richards or Casper Van Dien ? By the way, here’s a listing of the sequels and spin offs from the St...
