India Arie

Therapy ^{*wrong thread , runs off to the music thread*}

Why the tears? Therapy is an absolute thing of joy

d song is just 2 biutiful

Biutiful it certainly is. Gramps Morgan made his presence felt. Arie with her gorgeous lyrics. Awesome track. Not the nonsense solja boy crap prevailing these days.

@JK, Denzel!

So, now we are reviewing movies based on actors/actresses.

Wahala dey!!

Jesoul
Where av u been?
Denzel it is then. He already has like 4votes.
Only Eldee wants Penelope. .

Obi
Yep. We are. So join the train. .

Denzel coming up shortly. .

Denzel Washington in focus. .

Hey peeps. .
We've decided to tweak the movie reviews abit, jus to add more flav. . .
We choose a movie icon. .and we review 3 of his movies. . And at the end of each review. .you tell us your top 5 movies of that particular icon we're reviewing. .

Sounds like fun ehn?
Let's try Denzel Washington.

Reviews. . .

OMG OMG! Denzel
Score one for Democracy . . Not Eldeecracy.

So, voting, reviewing and rating movies has failed all of a sudden in this topic.

Has a Nigerian movie ever been reviewed on this topic?

Obi
Wats the problem naa? Lol. .
We still get to review movies naa and rate. And this just a one time thing. We'll revert to the old system.
Jus go with the flow. And yes we voted.
And yes. A nigerian movie has been reviewed before. We reviewed 'Sango'. Go to the first page and see how it fared.

You have any Nigerian movie you want reviewed?

Obi,
This 'reverse psychology' act no gel at all .

@JK, JeSoul et al. .

Do we do a background intro on his early days before going into his movies OR do we just pick his movies and review em.

V3
Watever rocks your boat. . .
Bur a lil background would do. Jus don't make it like True Hollywood Story. Lol. .

Sorry JK for taking this long, still typing my own version of his bio before coming up with movies.

Will post before sleeping.

@JK

Which one be bio again??
I know how y'all black people love Denzel but a biography is going to far na . . . haba.
Give me the name of the movie, let me go watch and come back with a review jare . . .

@JK
I'm sure very soon we'll see us reviewing "Megan Fox".

Lets just do this Denzel Washington movies review and then go back to our normal voting, reviewing and rating movies.

Lets just talk about his movies and not his life history. Life history will be going beyond the scope of the topic.

O.K

After much much and no bio, i've shortlisted 3 movies

1 - American Gangster
2 - The Great Debaters
3 - The book of Eli

Do we vote for a movie to review or we just go with the hierarchical system

Don't bring up Megan Fox na. Before JK comes with one of his vomit-inducing sickening love posts about her, and out goes my lunch. Haven't seen any of those three Denzel movies. But seen others. Deja Vu, Malcolm X, Training Day, The Pelican Brief, Man on Fire, The Siege, John Q, Inside Man, etc. Now there's a good-looking man.

Best of Denzel Washington
- Glory (1989)
- Malcolm X (1992)
- Philadelphia (1993)
- Training Day (2001)
- John Q (2002)
- Inside Man (2006)
- American Gangster (2007)

Worst of Denzel Washington
- Ricochet (1991) I hate this movie with a passion
- Mo' Better Blues (1990)

my top 5
- John Q great acting and should have gotten an oscar for that movie
- Malcom X he play the role so well that you could have mistaken him for the real deal.
- Philadelphia
- The hurricane
- Antwone fisher/Inside man/ American gangster/Training day/He got game

my worst 3
- Manchurian candidate such a bad remake
- Devil in a blue dress oh lawd!!!!
- The bone collector handicapped Denzell, i dont think so!

He was tremenous in GLORY. Tom Hanks stole the show in Philadelphia. He, Banderas as his lover, and Denzel? Sensory overload!

My best Denzel movies
Pelican brief. He was exceptional and obviously still very young so he had all the energy
John Q. Very believable acting
Out of time
Malcom X
Training Day

Worst movies
American Gangster. Oh lawd! I slept halfway through the movie. Russel crowe was annoying in it too. Just blah.
Manchurian Candidate. Jeez! Shaw. Raymond Prentice Shaw.
Deja vu. Stupid! He did well but the movie itself was crap.

. . .did someone mention Foxy!?
*runs outta thread to the phone. . . "is she still on speed dial?"*

MrBrownJay, the Bone Collector wasn't bad now, wetin be your problem lol.

My absolute best Denzel movies:
Man on Fire - moving
John Q - TOP TOP TOP! My fav denzel movie of all
Book of Eli - powerful

My so-so Denzel movies:
The Hurricane
The Preachers Wife
Crimson Tide
Training Day - yes powerful performance bt not my fav
Out of time
Deja vu
The Bone Collector
Inside man - sorry, I didn't find anything special about his performance here

My 'what were you thinking Denzel' movies:
American Gangster - sorry, but I hate, despise, utterly regret seeing that useless movie
The Taking of Pelham 123 - like seriously dude?
Manchurian Candidate - movie was just blah

Based on the A-list/fave DW Jnr I've seen some of you, I'd say let's review

John Q! .
Over to you peepz

This Denzel Washington movies focus is quite interesting.

I'm suggesting we do "Films Based on Video Games" next time. Chei!! My list will have more bad films than good ones.

And if you're thinking of rubbishing my Lara Croft, you betta think twice homeboy

^
God of War would be useless if made into a movie  
The 'avatar' game is way more useless than the movie itself
Naruto had best be left as a manga. . else i'm done with chakras  
James Bond games are useless, the movies are pretty good though

D'you say Lara Croft? ^{*long hiss*}

Back to reviews  

The one video game turned into a movie that readily comes to mind is Super Mario Bros. Anyone remember that? what a disaster! lol

V3, trouble sleep, yanga wan wake am proceed at your own risk bro, at your own risk

Obinna, the spambot got ur last post. I've pm'd Seun to untag it for you.

@JeSoul
OK!

"The Siege (1999)" is another good Denzel Washington movie.

@JeSoul
"Super Mario Bros" movie was pure thrash.
"Mortal Kombat" & "Street Fighter" movies are also crap.
