Quick Review: 22 Jump Street

This past weekend Melissa and I went with our good friend Evan to go see “22 Jump Street”. I’ll be honest, I was extremely hesitant to go see this movie. I felt as if the first film (“21 Jump Street”) a comedy based on the old Johnny Depp starring 80’s series about young police officers that go undercover as high school students, was probably one of the funniest movies I have seen in a really long time and I just felt that a sequel would run the risk of not being as funny. Or funny at all.

The Mother Brain Files Underrated Actors Special: Timothy Dalton

The first time I heard the name James Bond was in the summer of 1989 when Licence to Kill was released in theaters. Being a Ghostbusters and Batman fan at the time, I did not know anything about Bond as a character and the fact that there were 15 other films that came before it. Timothy Dalton was my first exposure to the role before I even knew that Sean Connery started it and I did catch up on the films until after the release of Goldeneye in 1995. By then, I was quick to judge Dalton as my least favorite actor as 007 due to his darker interpretation of the role. Little did I know then he was attempting to recapture a real world aspect of Ian Fleming’s novels that was lost in Connery as well as George Lazenby and Roger Moore’s performances.
