Martin Lawrence in Blue Streak
this classic 1999 movie. a diamond thief gets caught and goes to jail but leaves a million dollar diamond at a construction site. he gets out of jail and the construction site is now an LAPD center so he fakes his way into becoming a detective. solves a bunch of crimes. ROFL. causes mayhem, dave chappelle is how do you say, sub contr-actor or co-star?
you guys gotta see this one.
When Martin Lawrence has a good vehicle, he's on fire. Thought he was great in "Bad Boys" and "A Thin Line Between Love And Hate."
I realized recently that I had gotten out of the habit of frequenting the cinema, which is one of my main passions. So, over the past month, I've seen the following movies on the big screen:
"Irreversible," "La Haine," "Kapo," "The Hospital," "Sorcerer," "Blue Velvet" and "River's Edge." All fantastic films (save "River's Edge," which I found just okay).
A local theater is having an Abel Ferrara retrospective this month, with the director participating in Q&As. Considering "Bad Lieutenant" is my favorite film of all time -- just an absolutely incredible film -- I will be attending as many screenings as I can, and looking very forward to it!
