Vivica Fox

Motives
$14.94
I loved this movie. Sharmar Moore and Golden Brooks are great in this movie. Its a sexy suspense thriller about love, sex and betrayal, and murder. I like the fact that this is not a ghetto movie, a drive-by, or a gang thing...or a movie about the inner-city struggle. Its a movie about affluent blacks who are flawed. Its dark, its edgy, and its a thriller. Its a very exciting and very intriguing movie to watch.

There's a Stranger in My House
$14.98
I think whoever writes the covers and descriptions for movies needs to actually watch the movie before they write. Again the description and the cover are no clue to the contents of the movie. The cover gives you the impression that the girl between Clifton Powell and Vivica Fox is a homewrecker not their child. How is she a stranger if she is their daughter? That suggests incest which is not what the movie is about. The movie is hard to describe because I'm still trying to figure out the whole point. During two separate scenes two differnet men declare their undying love for the mother and daughter of the movie still the end is the family sitting down with a minister and realizing that they need to be together as a family. Huh? How does that follow from the love songs? What was the point of the movie? Vivica and Clifton acted very well in a movie that was ok at best. It was not outstanding or inspiring or any of the other things you can normally say about gospel plays. It was an exercise in confusion and that was all.

Blast
$9.98
Blast (2004) is an action/adventure set on a sea based oil rig, floating off the southern California coast. Hardly a new idea, but it is still executed fairly well here. Eddie Griffin is Lamont Dixon, and ex-fireman turned tugboat operator, hired to tow the rig out to the undersea well. The task of connecting up to the well is interrupted when pseudo-protesters turn terrorist, board the rig, and take it over at gunpoint. Led by renegade environmentalist Michael Kittredge (Vinnie Jones), the group is demanding that the oil company cease operations. The FBI is called in, with Agent Lisa Reed (Vivica A. Fox) heading the negotiation team.

Dixon finds an unlikely ally in Jamaal (Breckin Meyer), one of the terrorists, who has a link to Agent Reed. Jamaal is a tech, who has several run-ins with an acrobatic, backflipping terrorist named Lola (Nadine Velazquez). The film features some decent action sequences, some of which could have benefitted from slightly improved special effects.

Blast is a bit offbeat, but holds together better than expected, for a film that features comedian Eddie Griffin in the lead role. There are times where thing go too far, but balance is usually restored before long, preserving a certain level of credibility. Vinnie Jones (The Condemned) has the crazed nutcase role down pat. Directed by Anthony Hickox, the film is apparently a remake of a 1997 German production. The presentation is widescreen, with no English subtitles, or extra features.

Two Can Play That Game
$14.94
This is an hilarious, interesting movie with loads of cliches. I think the two main characters really made me believe that in real life they were a couple. Although it's another battle of the sexes movie, the angle taken by the woman telling the story is funny at time real. Anthony Anderson is the funny confidante....It's a must-see for your enjoyment.
