It seems as if we had to wait an age for Rush Hour 3 to be made. You knew it was on the cards, from the out takes in the first sequel (as the credits rolled). Tucker clearly says, “He won’t be in Rush Hour 3” after the villain throws himself out of a window. I was glad it was back and was looking forward to seeing it as soon as I could. Any other weekend, I would have gone on Friday night with Pav. However, as he was busy at a wedding, I went on Sunday afternoon with my sister. This was the ideal time to be in Reading town, with them playing Manchester United live on Sky. The Oracle was still quite busy as they had setup a sandy beach and attractions for the children down by the riverside. We got into the cinema and it was relatively quiet as I expected, we skipped popcorn and drinks. We had had a big lunch and were not really hungry, plus my sister had smuggled in some snacks. We took our seats and waited for the movie to begin.
When it finally ended some ninety minutes later, I was upset. I wanted the adventure to carry on, for just a bit longer. I should have guessed really, some of the elements can be found in the first two movies, particularly the twist at the end. The backdrop is Paris but the main plot is very similar to the first two movies. Why some people may feel rather annoyed for simply a rehashing with a few French actors with weak English accents. I really enjoyed the film, Chris Tucker was on excellent form. There were less action scenes, but what Ratner lacked in quantity he made up for in quality. Although, I wanted to see more trademark movies from Jackie. I know he is getting old but I just wanted him to raise his game, for the final of the trilogy. At times, I was in stitches, Tucker stealing the show. I am sure he has more on screen time in this sequel than the previous two but do not quote me on that. All in all, a fantastic way to waste away an hour and a half. Entertaining and fun. Sure the storyline you take with a pinch of salt. You just sit back and enjoy the right. I highly recommend you go and watch the movie, like me you will disappointed when it ends.
I visit the Pop Justice web site, at least once a week. You can imagine my surprise, when I read an e-mail (shown as an e-mail on the music blog) regarding a song called Michael Jackson and the remix by Calvin Harris. Reading further, I discovered the artist were The Mitchell Brothers. Before you start thinking of slap heads Grant & Phil, these boys are actually of Ghanaian extraction. I had to hear the song, so headed over to YouTube to watch a compilation of MJ clips along with the song. Annie Mac gives the intro with the comments, “hottest track at the moment”. It sure is and it is only going to get better. I headed over to MJ News Online forum to find out what the fan’s reaction to the song. Across two pages, all messages were positive. One person wanted to whip up the hype and excel the single to the top of the charts. A great way to get Michael back into the headlines for all the right reasons for a change. Take a listen, I am sure you will like it, the chorus is very catchy.
As you know, I am a big fan of Sadie Ama and long for her album to be released. I know she is hard at work in the studio putting on the finishes touches and also finalising plans for a tour. Fantastic. I headed over to her MySpace page and was pleased to find a new song to preview. Not Enough is fantastic and I will be bold enough to say even better than her first single, Falling. I am looking forward to more new material in the coming few months and hopefully dates for album and the tour. Hopefully it won’t go down too badly that I started Sadie’s Wikipedia page. Although I know I need to update it and write something more original and less record company talk. That is what you get for copying directly from a MySpace profile.
