Soundtracks Galore

With some films, the music is played as a secondary character and adds to the appeal. It's no secret that with most urban films comes a soundtrack featuring 3 to 4 talented rappers and singers. With the release of Bad Boys II, super producer Sean "P.Diddy" Combs has put together what some may consider the "mother of all soundtracks". Where else are you going to see the likes of 50 cents, Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, and even Justin Timberlake on the same album, if it isn't a mixed tape? There have been other soundtracks out this year that's worth picking up, take a look

Till next time,

Latest Review Additions:
  
Bad Boys II (in Film)
Bad Boys II is action-packed and filled with excitement. Besides the reunion of Smith & Lawrence, who bring in their “A” game, the
car chase scenes alone are worth the price of admission.

Pirates of the Caribbean (in Film)
Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl has enough wit, action scenes, horror moments, and dazzling special effects and fight scenes that would place it amongst the best Pirate films ever. Not to mention one of funniest performances given by Johnny Depp.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (in Film)
All in all, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen ranks as one of the better comic book movies and a solidly enjoyable summer flick.

Swimming Pool (in Film)
Swimming Pool is a sexually charged film filled with enough intrigue to keep you guessing its outcome after it’s over.

Aside from the poor acting of Christopher Denham, “Master Harold”…and the boys, is worth seeing due to the command performances of Glover and Boatman
