The only way this film can not be awe inspiring is if you watch it on a 10" black and white TV with a 4 watt sound system. Maybe that's a bit extreme, but I watched this on a 70" projection... Full review

Here's another film in which I totally go against the critics - both professional and on this board, who take themselves too seriously at times. They hated this sequel to "The Blues Brothers," but I enjoyed it very much. They... Full review

Blues Brothers 2000 is a movie with good intentions, Aykroyd and Landis once again team up to recapture the magic in tribute to John Belushi, and almost all of the original cast are still here. Musically the magic is still... Full review

It takes guts to make a sequel to a movie after 20 years, especially after the original has become a legend and the star has died since.However this movie does a lot of things right and frankly, even if it... Full review

I have to admit that some parts of this movie were clever indeed. It was cool that they tied in the deaths of John Belushi and Cab Calloway into the movie's plot, making the characters they played dead as well.... Full review

I love the 1980 film "The Blues Brothers". In fact, it may be my favorite movie of all time. I like it for three main reasons, descending: 1. The fantasic, fanciful car chases. 2. The great music (I have a... Full review
