    xXx - a short review

    I liked the attitude and quips of xXx (Xander Cage) in this film. The stunts are of the "that is whacked!" variety, but the allure of this film is mainly about the stunts and the action. It delivers on the action, and I did laugh at the quips.

    I recommend this film for mainly action junkies.

    I give it 2.5 stars or a grade of C+.

    Thanks Patman, I figured it would be a good popcorn flick with tons of action.

      Thanks Patrick,

      We had family in this weekend so I didn't get a chance to "movie". However, my daughter gave it a thumbs-up after seeing it Friday.

          Saw this today and have to give it a :T

          Lots of great action sequences and a decent enough plot that didn't make me go :roll:

          I know I'll be getting this on DVD. But if you can do try to catch it in the theaters. (Well except for those of you that have a FPTV)

          Oh I also saw a pair of these in the bad guy's bedroom:

            I wanted to see this on the big screen. Hopefully I can squeeze it in.

              I saw TripleX opening night and was a bit dissappointed. I love action flicks but this just seemed to lack in many areas. I think it was written poorly. I really liked Vin Diesel in Pitch Black and Fast & The Furious.. I'm sure he'll do better in his next film.

                XXX - Over the top fun!
                by SayersWeb
                We received XXX from Netflix this past weekend. If you like action and over the top stunts, this movie is for you. The story was a bit predictable and won't teach you any valuable life lessons. This is a good one to show off your HT system and revel in stunts that you know aren't possible, but are fun...

                Can someone tell me why "Prague" has become the "Hotspot" of the theatre world??? :LOL:

                What can I say about this film? Does it ripoff the "Bond" franchise without shame? Yup! Does it try to hide it? Nope! Will it replace...

                Blade II - A Review 05/05/2002



                This is coming out a bit late, so it won't be as detailed as other, earlier reviews.

                Let's be clear here. It's a movie made from a comic book character, okay? It's supposed to be over-the-top, and over-the-top it is in several

                THE LAST SAMURAI is a beautiful film
                by George Bellefontaine
                I know there are many action film fans, and Tom Cruise fans as well here at The Guide, and I'm also certain that many of you have already seen this terrific film in the theater so I won't go into great detail on the storyline.

                Basically it's about a battle-weary, and mentally disturbed,...

                WINDTALKERS.

                John Woo, the master of action films, does his magic in Windtalkers. It's a good old fashioned war film, and though the back story deals with how Navajos were used ( their native tongue) to create a code for communications. It was the one wartime code that was never broken....
