Summary: NEEDS MURRAY'S BOSLEY.
Review: I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THIS MOVIE, I'M SURE THE GIRLS DO A FINE JOB JUST LIKE THEY DID IN THE FIRST ONE. THAT MOVIE TURNED OUT ALRIGHT IN SPITE OF MY INITIAL MISGIVINGS ABOUT SEEING IT. AND THAT WAS DUE IN LARGE PART TO GOOD CASTING. THE CAST OF ANGELS IS BACK ALONG WITH DEMI MOORE AS THE BADDIE, BUT WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND CAST BERNIE MAC AS BOSLEY? DIDN'T ANYONE WATCH THE 70'S T.V. SHOW? BOSLEY WAS TIMID AND UNSURE OF HIMSELF, IN SHORT EVERYTHING BERNIE MAC ISN'T. BILL MURRAY WAS GREAT IN THAT ROLE! (NOTE TO MOVIE PRODUCERS) WHEN YOU REMAKE A T.V. SHOW THAT HAS AN ESTABLISHED AUDIENCE TRY TO STAY TRUE TO US AND MAKE THE CHARACTERS THE WAY WE REMEMBER THEM, DON'T JUST CAST SOMEBODY IN A ROLE BECAUSE THIER POPULAR. I WILL PROBABY SEE THE MOVIE DESITE THIS GIGANTIC SCREW UP IN CASTING, I JUST HOPE THE OTHERS CAN PULL IT ABOVE SUCH AN OBVIOUS FLAW. MR.MURRAY WILL BE SADLY MISSED.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good Morning, Angels! Time to go Full Throttle!
Review: Come June 27th the Angels will be back in theatres with its follow up sequel to the 2000 Action blockbuster hit Charlies Angels with Charlies Angels: Full Throttle. Seeing as the movie isn't out for another few weeks, I'll simply be going over some aspects of what to expect from this upcoming action hit. Comparing and contrasting the original to the sequel. Furthermore, I will also review the movie and edit this review when its released in cinemas.

But what's to be expected from this movie Franchise?

So far we can only go with what the trailers and blurbs tell us.
So lets start with the plot - The Angels are ready to strike without warning and kick some serious [rear-end] as they go undercover to retrieve two missing silver bands. These are no ordinary wedding rings. They contain valuable encrypted information that reveals the new identities of every person in the federal Witness Protection Program. When witnesses start to turn up dead, only the Angels can stop the perpetrator, using their expertise as masters of disguise, espionage and martial arts.

Any people who have seen the first movie would know that the film wasn't meant to be a 'serious' action flick. Drew Barrymore, who had the idea for doing a Charlie's Angels movie, is responsible for the tone that the movie would portray. Although the film is a revised and recast take off of the old 70's show, it can still make fun of itself which is always a good aspect to have in filmmaking.

But we should meet the Angels before we go any further. First, we have Alex (Lucy Liu), trying to develop her cooking skills to try and be incognito as an aspiring housewife. Although her cooking falls sub-par as the muffins she cooks can break through doors. Then there's Dylan (Drew Barrymore) trying to find her other half, to only be teamed up with the 'Chad'. And finally we have Natalie (Cameron Diaz), the geeky virgin who lives her fantasy showbiz lifestyle in dreams. And remember 'Feel free to stick things in her slot'. All team together to become the cool, sexy, lethal weapon packing, espionage trio that are Charlie's Angels.

We then have the Charlie's Angels other half....Charlie. Of course Charlie is one of the most famous voice overs in television (and now movie) history. But of course seeing as he is undercover, his identity can never be revealed. So he puts all of his mission stats through Bosley, played by Bill Murray in the original. But seeing as movie's change through sequels, Bill Murray will not be present in this film. Instead Bernie Mac will take his place to be the new comic relief that we all love. Speaking of new additions we have Demi Moore instated to play the antagonistic femme fatale. Also 'Creepy Thin Guy' is back once again, I believe. The cast who have signed on for this sequel, as you can see, are above average and should contribute to us putting down our money to see this movie. My fingers are still crossed for the sensational Tim Curry to be present in Full Throttle.

But what also made the first film so successful (and may contribute to spending our time seeing the sequel) was the outrageous stunts and the plentifulness of outfits with the mix of humour and energy from both cast and crew. This can also be seen in the trailers for 'Full Throttle'. We have the Angels dressed up in all kinds of outfits, ranging from Cowgirl to Biker girl ensembles. We have explosions from tanks and rockets. We have the humour and layed back persona's of the Angels. And all these ingredients make for a good recipe of Action-Comedy with a very heroine angle (Which is always nice to see).

Although, whether the director McG (yes, that is his name) will deliver an enjoyable sequel will only be known by June 27th. But if you're in the mood for a fun, raunchy, action packed movie. I suggest to give Charlies Angels: Full Throttle a viewing.

Stay tuned for my review when its been released in cinemas.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: They're Back...
Review: Drew, Cameron and Lucy are back for second Angels adventure. This time the angels are on the search of two silver rings that have the names of all the people in the witness protection program encrypted in them. When 5 of these people are murdered, Charlie sends the Angels out....cant wait til it goes to theaters

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Even worse than Plan 9
Review: I have had the priviledge of watching the worst film ever. It was Plan 9 from Outer Space, by Ed Wood. It was brilliant. Ed Wood took no money, no talent, no acting ability, no coherance and no plot and turned it into the most entertaining movie I have ever seen.
Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, meanwhile, took millions of dollars, reasonable (I'll go no further) talent and acting ability, and no coherence or plot, and churned out the worst pile of crap I have ever had the misfortune to be in the same room as.
From the moment the film opens, you know your braincells are doomed. The idiocy-rays beaming from the screen penetrate through your eyes and you suffer the anguished screams of your braincells dying as all logic is stripped away.
And despite what anyone else says, I was resolutely unattracted to the Angels; I find it impossible to like someone whose idea of a snappy line is 'Just once I'd like to leave a bar by the door.' Throughout the movie you can hear the original Angels spinning in their graves. And if they're not dead, this movie will kill them off.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Make it Stop!
Review: Mere words cannot describe just how awful this movie is. While I was certainly not expecting Shakespeare in the Park, I did expect something resembling a storyline and dialogue that sounded like it was coming from people with more than two brain cells to rub together. I'm sure the audience is supposed to just ignore the Matrix-wannabe fight scenes, but this just went too far out. I'm all for the "girl power" idea that Drew Barrymore thinks she is portraying in this movie, but back flips and martial arts moves in four inch stilletos? Puh-leeze! The only bright spots of this mish-mash of a movie are Bernie Mac and Demi Moore - who unlike the present angels, looks like someone who actually could kick some a## (trust me, the present angels are so ditzy and insipid, you are praying that Demi Moore will succeed in killing them). But even the only two characters that don't make you want to retch look embarrassed at some of the dialogue they are forced to speak in this ridiculous movie. The first movie was silly, but had a few fun moments... this one is just plain bad unless you're a fourteen year old boy in search of a T&A fest.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not As Good As The Original Film
Review: Not a bad film. Very cheesy in places, tons of extremely bad puns, even more bad one-liners. Out of this world martial arts (IOW, stuff no one on this planet could possibly do), fantastic fight scenes, comic book realism. Lots of nice shots of Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu - unfortunately, plenty of shots of Drew Barrymore (this girl just ain't hot to me). Demi Moore plays an excellent Bad Angel, and looks the part very well (yum). Bernie Mac replaces Bill Murray as the character of Bosley. There's even a cameo from Jaclyn Smith as her character from the TV series.

Let's dig into the meat of it all. We all know (at least we do now), that I care little for Drew Barrymore. So let's toss that off to the side. Cameron and Lucy are hot, hot, hot. Excellent outfits, they look fantastic - and we get Cameron's smile all throughout the film, a major plus in my book. Demi Moore does an excellent job with her character, although we don't see much of the character throughout the movie - a true shame, but her character had a lot of flair to it. Bernie Mac. Could they have picked a worse follow-on character for Bill Murray's Bosley?? Hardly. Bernie's character is boring, not funny, and totally miscast. We get a return of the "Thin Man" character from the first film, but again, it is botched in trying to explain his origins.

The fight scenes are simply incredible. And I mean that in a fantastical sense - one where reality becomes comic-bookish. Once you get past that idea, and settle on the comic-book flavor of the movie - the fight scenes become a lot of fun to watch. Lucy's kicks are just incredible to watch, and once again the outfits are great. Unfortunately, one cannot say that about the plot. Poorly written - cheesy, campy, tons of plot holes to drive the VIII Corps through....but its fun. Again, you have to adopt the comic-book flavor of the movie - and what you get...is a lot of fun, once you suspend the concept of reality correctness.

One outstanding thing about this movie is its soundtrack. Upbeat, matching the scenes that they are placed in, the songs really add a positive flair to the movie.

Three stars out of five. Not the greatest film to go see - it doesn't live up to the original - but its still fun.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Light as Angel Food Cake, but with a Kick
Review: If you didn't like this movie, chances are that you don't like comedies or "spoofs". This movie continues in the vein of the first one, defining the genre of comedy-action-spoof with well toned and muscular bodies everywhere.

Drew, Cameron and Lucy obviously had a fun time making this movie, and why not? The soundtrack includes everything from disco to modern rock, and is really an exciting mix of music. There are a number of entertainers who played cameo roles, such as Bruce Willis, Pink, Carrie Fisher, and even the Olsen Twins, and the knock-offs of CSI, The Sound of Music, Matrix, Indiana Jones and others keep you glued to the screen. Demi Moore defies the aging process magnificently, and Bernie Mac helps keep the laugh meter ticking.

I'll be watching this one again, because I'm sure there are punch lines that I missed the first time.

If you're into comedies and watch movies for light entertainment, this one is for you. Buy, borrow or rent, relax and enjoy.

If you take your movies seriously, and are looking for plot lines and intrigue, this isn't the one you should buy, but you'll be missing a bundle of reality-defying fun.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very good
Review: This movie was as good as the first one. Which has better action, hotter girls, and Bernie Mac is hilarious. So if you like the first one go see this movie.

Rating: 4 stars
