The Disappointment of Bad Boys: Ride Or Die<\/strong><\/p>\n

THERE\u2019S something to be said for casting a film with actors whose private lives are more interesting than the car chases or gun battles they play out on screen.<\/p>\n

A look at the Lives of Will Smith and Ioan Gruffudd<\/strong><\/p>\n

That is what I thought when watching the scenes between Will Smith and Ioan Gruffudd.<\/p>\n

The former, whose Oscar slap caused an avalanche in his life so ferocious that his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, revealed they had been separated for seven years.<\/p>\n

And the latter with scorned ex-wife, Alice Evans, pegging out his dirty laundry on Twitter.<\/p>\n

So it would need to be a seriously enthralling movie to distract me from remembering their real stories.<\/p>\n

Plot of Bad Boys: Ride Or Die<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sadly, this fourth film in the Bad Boys hugely successful franchise was not it.<\/p>\n

This sees the return of Miami cops Mike (Smith) and Marcus (Martin Lawrence), once again, fighting crime with their special version of sweary slapstick.<\/p>\n

Marcus suffers a heart attack and has an out-of-body experience, meeting dead boss Captain Howard, who whispers guidance in his ear about the future \u2014 and the crimes that they are about to fight.<\/p>\n

Marcus then returns to his body in a hospital bed and goes on a quest to show Mike he is now invincible.<\/p>\n

He teeters on the edge of tall buildings, plays chicken in traffic and tries to stroke an alligator.<\/p>\n

All of these are delivered with such painstakingly slow \u201cjokes\u201d that it feels like swimming through treacle to reach the \u201cpunchline\u201d.<\/p>\n

Furiosa: a Mad Max Saga review – striking film has an achingly cool lead, stunning action & tremendous Anya Taylor-Joy <\/span><\/div>\n

The Mission of Mike and Marcus<\/strong><\/p>\n

The duo\u2019s job this time round is to clear the name of the late Captain Howard, who was framed by Eric Dane\u2019s mysterious villain.<\/p>\n

They ask for the help of Mayor Lockwood (Gruffudd), and cop pals Kelly (Vanessa Hudgens) and Dorn (Alexander Ludwig).<\/p>\n

Action and Humor in Bad Boys: Ride Or Die<\/strong><\/p>\n

Humour aside, there\u2019s plenty of action to keep fans entertained.<\/p>\n

Directors Adil & Bilall throw everything at it with computer-game-style gun battles and airborne fist fights.<\/p>\n

The death count is high \u2014 as is the ridiculousness of the entire situation.<\/p>\n

Overall Impression of Bad Boys: Ride Or Die<\/strong><\/p>\n

The format is dusty and less desirable than the sleeker, scarier first outing of the duo in 1995.<\/p>\n

I could have done with some angry ex-wives to keep me interested.<\/p>\n

Overview of Food, INC. 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

WHILE the subject is worthwhile and the topics raised are not unappetising, this sequel to the 2008 Oscar-nominated documentary does taste rather dry and overdone.<\/p>\n

Corporate Consolidation and Sustainability<\/strong><\/p>\n

In fairness, it isn\u2019t simple to inject some sizzle into the subject of corporate consolidation in the food industry and a system set up to simply generate cash.<\/p>\n

Technological Innovations in Food Production<\/strong><\/p>\n

The makers have done their best to show the futuristic ways inventors are trying to make what is on our plates more about sustainability than profitability.<\/p>\n

Issues and Solutions in the Food Industry<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cA lot is at stake when you sit down to eat,\u201d and here that includes workers\u2019 and farmers\u2019 rights, legislation and, of course, the monetary bottom line.<\/p>\n

Future of Food Production<\/strong><\/p>\n

Forward-thinking start-ups have invented alternative meat products, such as synthetic chicken breasts, that apparently taste just the same when fried in a pan.<\/p>\n

Efforts toward Positive Change<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, US senators Cory Booker and Jon Tester try to inspire change by altering laws affecting corporate production and employee welfare.<\/p>\n

Conclusion of Food, INC. 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Directed by Robert Kenner and Melissa Robledo, this will certainly raise awareness about what is in your fridge and how it got there but may not leave you feeling completely sated.<\/p>\n
