When an old boulder like me is moved by something, it means something. "Mary & Max" is so delicately heartfelt that you almost don't realize how emotionally overwhelmed you become - until you find yourself sitting there at the end with a tear inevitably streaming down your cheek.

In recent years, I can guarantee that I have rarely seen a film with such a brilliantly written story. It is rich in detail, unique, without being overly sentimental or fluffy in its naivety, but rather embedded in a world that is not very funny.

Intelligent, lovable, touching, thought-provoking, with moments that make you smile, and above all, fantastically well thought out. Without a doubt, this is truly great cinema.

The film is known for its gritty and violent portrayal of the urban underworld. Pam Grier delivers a powerful performance as Foxy Brown, showcasing her strength and determination as she takes on the criminals who have wronged her. The action sequences are intense and well-executed, keeping the audience engaged throughout.

However, Foxy Brown falls short in terms of its plot and character development. The story feels somewhat predictable and lacks depth, making it difficult to fully invest in the characters' journeys. Additionally, some of the dialogue and acting can be over-the-top and cheesy at times, detracting from the overall quality of the film.

Despite its flaws, Foxy Brown remains an important film in the blaxploitation genre, highlighting the strength and resilience of its female protagonist. It serves as a significant milestone in the career of Pam Grier, who became an iconic figure in the genre.

Overall, Foxy Brown is a decent film for fans of blaxploitation and Pam Grier. While it may not be the most memorable or groundbreaking film in the genre, it still offers an entertaining and empowering experience. With its gritty action and strong lead performance, Foxy Brown is worth a watch for those interested in exploring the world of 1970s blaxploitation cinema.

Typical Pepin/Merhi B-Action Flick. Chad McQueen and Gary Daniels were definitely not hired for their acting talent, but at least they prove physical presence. Overall, though, the film is shot without much passion. However, "Firepower" has one highlight to offer: The superfighter Swordsman is portrayed by wrestling icon Jim "Ultimate Warrior" Hellwig! Apparently this is the only real appearance of the Warrior in a real - non-wrestling - movie.
