BAD BOYS II

2003 DIRECTOR: Michael Bay Contains Spoilers! "What ya gonna do... this time?" Whilst the first outing of the Bad Boys shocked me by how good it actually was, this one left me a little disappointed.

2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY

1968 DIRECTOR: Stanley Kubrick A classic that still inspires filmmakers today, as well as debate... This is a beautiful film, spectacular to look at, let alone here, but its pacing turns into a work of art, rather than a movie. It is divided into four distinct chapters: The Dawn of Man, Le voyage dans la…
