3 Am (2001) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A struggling taxi company has struggling taxi drivers with heavy emotional issues, add to this a serial killer who is after the taxi drivers and apparently enjoys killing them at night for sport, and what do you have? An instant movie classic? Perhaps not. But with good acting by Glover, Grier, and Rodriguez, you end up with a fine movie. This movie shows a colorful but desperate world of the working class in a big city. There is everything here: love, childhood trauma, fear of commitment, prostitution, and, of course, murder. There are even stories of Bosnian genocide!
We are introduced to a cab driver from Bosnia who is not only one of the worst natural drivers in the world, but also incredibly distracted. This means that every day he has an accident. He is so accident prone that he ends up having to leave the country and his love (who prostitutes herself at a bathhouse) and go back to Bosnia.
Not to be outdone, Glover's and Rodriguez's characters resort to extreme violence when they feel physically or emotionally pushed. The movie is original, and its host of ethnic characters makes it fun and colorful. The ending is also not your typical happy ending. It is not that unhappy. It is just not typical. I recommend the movie.

The Fast & The Furious (1954) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Okay, so sometimes you think a Roger Corman production is generally a sign of cheesy or just plain weird. Well, in the case of this film, we actually have some quality actors and some generally well written dialogue.
Yes, there are improbable situations, but remember, it's Roger Corman. Yet, in watching this film, I found myself actually enjoying the interplay between Dorothy Malone and John Ireland, both of whom are very good actors. Yes, there was some groan moments. And the story is predictable. But that's not always a bad thing.
John Ireland co-directed, which is why he's involved (Corman couldn't afford his fees otherwise!). And the direction is quite good for this kind of film. I also felt some of the dialogue was fairly natural, too.
Hey, just forget the intellectual and sit back and enjoy the film. No bad language, a little suggestive commentary, a few good zingers, too (one by the announcer at the race that was quite amusing). It isn't all that long and it has some nice race footage, given the budget.

The Fast and the Furious (1955) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This film is nothing like the 2001 film of the same name and that's good. John Ireland does a great job being the criminal in this one and Dorothy Malone is good as the head smart woman in a man's world. While the film really does look like Roger Corman found a group of racers and decided to build a film around them, this is definitely not a bad film. It is defiantly a great little classic to watch.

A man wrongly imprisoned for murder breaks out of jail. He wants to clear his name, but with the police pursuing him, he's forced to take a beautiful young woman, driving a fast sports car, hostage and slip into a cross-border sports car race to try to make it to Mexico before the police get him.
