Movie Reviews of Life
Movie Review: Life
Summary: 4 Stars
In the mid-1990s, two inmates bury the burned bodies of two lifers at Mississippi's infamous Parchman Farm; a third old-timer relates their story. They'd served 65 years for a murder they didn't commit, framed by a local sheriff while buying moonshine whiskey for a Manhattan club owner to whom they owed money. In flashbacks we see this odd couple thrown together (Ray is a fast-talking con man, and Claude is a serious man about to start work as a bank teller), the loss of Ray's watch (sterling silver, from his daddy), the murder and trial, the hardships of Parchman, and the love-hate relationship of Claude and Ray as they spend 65 years bickering and looking for a way to escape. I found this movie funny and inventive. Eddie Murphy and his worthy partner, Martin Lawrence successfully produce a comedy worth watching. "Life", you won't regret watching it.
Movie Review: LIFE is good! A good film anyway
Summary: 4 Stars
This film stars both Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence. Even though they are both well known for comedies, this movie is not really a comedy. There are some funny moments, but it's got a very realistic feel to it. Both Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence should feel rather proud of this film. I believe Eddie Murphy is quite a good and believable actor. I've enjoyed just about every movie Eddie Murphy did. However, this is probably the best movie Martin Lawrence was ever a part of. His movies are usually all pretty stupid. He is NOT funny but, as a serious actor, he did quite well.
I enjoyed this more the second time I saw it.
Movie Review: Eddie is hilarious!!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a wonderful movie. Eddie Murphy is totally hilarious in this movie. Its basically about two guys (Eddie and Martin) who have to serve a life sentence in jail for a crime in which they were framed. Its about them forming a bond of friendship, but as you will see this takes years. Great effects on ageing Martin and Eddie in different stages of their lives. The only bad thing about this film was that it tended to drag at certian points. This type of movie reminds me of Oh Brother Where Art Thou with its southern humor and setting in the past. I highly recommend both of these movies.Movie Review: 25 to life

Summary: 4 Stars
Praises for Eddie. Hats off to Martin. I was worried about the decline of humor in Eddie Murphy films. As well as dismayed at the thought of an hour and a half of Martin Lawrence slap stick. However, LIFE, was truly a funny film. the direction and acting were very well done, complimenting a very funny script. The duo brought to Life a story of "friendship". Proving that no matter how things begin, they are what you make them. A must see. Take the time, take a friend,and be open to laugh.
