AIR (Theatrical Release USA 2023)

 

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 4.3|5.0 Starsìììì 

Air—stand up and cheer movie—deserves its place in the home video library. A quality watch that makes an audience feel glad becomes an instructive story about entrepreneurship and what goes on behind the scenes before a terrific outcome can be realized. This is a learning/educational movie. WOW! It’s the perfect movie about creating win/win solutions to sticky challenges. Particularly note the concern Nike executives display for the future of their employees who are depending on them to make good decisions that make jobs secure and long-lasting.

RUSH HOUR 2 (Theatrical Release USA 2001)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.3|5.0 Starsìììì 

Rush Hour 2 teams Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker. While the movie increases its comedic elements over the last film, it also greatly increases sexual scenes not appropriate for most audiences. There is no lack to action scenes throughout the story. The timing is exceptionally well-done.

Additional Thanks 

Thank you to Director Brett Ratner for directing effort. Thank you to Producers Roger Birnbaum, Jonathan Glickman, Arthur Sarkissian, and Jay Stern for making the film possible. Cast includes: Jackie Chan, Chris Tucker, John Lone, Ziyi Zhang, Roselyne Sanchez Alan King, and Harris Yulin. 

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe? 

Yes. This movie upped the suggestive scenes over the first Rush Hour movie to a highly mature, sophisticated level. The comedy element increased, but there is a price paid due to sexual content.
