The Death And Life Of Bobby Z

Rating: R

Movie Release Date: November 17, 2007 (Japan)

DVD Release Date: June 13, 2007 (Poland) / September 4, 2007 (USA)

Plot 411: A convict is offered a deal that will give him his freedom if he impersonates a drug dealer.

Review: Paul Walker stars as Tim, a con who is serving time after a series of unfortunate circumstances. Gruzsa (Laurence Fishburne), a DEA agent, offers Tim a deal: pretend he is high-flying drug dealer Bobby Z (Jason Lewis) in order to swap places with a DEA agent being held hostage. However, at the exchange site things begin to unravel and alliances are questioned. Tim must continue the charade if he wants to live. But who can he trust? This is a grade B action flick that Walker and Fishburne should've passed on. Maybe times were tough and a gig is a gig? However, I seriously doubt that this movie helped either career. Walker is still toting his surfer boy accent, which is actually getting a bit irritating 10 years after Meet The Deedles. I'm just waiting for him to remake Point Break, which I do believe he would be perfect in. He can't be much worse than Keanu Reeves now can he?

Watch It: If you want to see cameos by some UFC fighters.

Skip It: Because Chuck Liddell is wasted way too fast.

Rating: Not Rated

Movie Release Date: March 22, 2007 (India) / June 8, 2007 (USA)

DVD Release Date: August 19, 2008

Plot 411: An American goes to India in search for the love he met in Los Angeles only to find that she's a famous Bollywood actress.

Review: Seriously, the only good reason to watch this one is if you're having Jason Lewis withdrawls. Even then, it might be better just to watch him on you Sex and the City DVDs. I don't know whether or not I should take the bad acting throughout this movie seriously. It could just be the Bollywood style overly dramatized (the film is about a Bollywood actress after all). The over-the-top costumes, dance moves and songs are just too much. The most memorable character in this film was not the main stars but a supporting actor Ash Chandler, who played Priyad, Lewis' taxi driver.

Watch It: For a Jason Lewis fix, but even then you'll probably be disappointed. There's probably only one good scene in this of him. Stick with Sex and the City and you'll have a wealth of Lewis.

Skip It: If you've got any sense at all.
