Another addition to my collection of silly movies. Even Steve Martin can’t save it, and that tells you something. But, even such a good comedy actor as him cannot work wonders when the script truly sucks.

I’m not really a big fan of Will Smith but I must admit he gives the performance of his career in this movie (even better than his portrayal of Ali). He was worthy of the Oscar nomination he received. I was in tears for most of the film. Directed …

Fast, furious and deadly these are the best words that describe the movie “Death Race” with Jason Statham in a very different role when compared to “Transporter” movies. This film is a remake of the 1975 movie “Death Race 2000″ which had the actors, David Carradine and …
