question:
jamaica is a hot vacation spot .
the exchange rate encourages delusions of wealth ( approximately 30 jamaican dollars to one american ) , the sea is a brilliant blue , the air is warm but lacks humidity .
and as tourism is unfortunately jamaica 's biggest trade , foreigners enter and leave with a sense of relaxation .
life and debt takes a brassy look at life inside this impoverished country .
while normal documentaries take the sally struthers approach of underlying scenes of starving children with tearful music , this film guides the viewer with a sarcastic voiceover that brings the troubles home without begging tears to the surface .
the voiceover is written by acclaimed author jamaica kincaid .
it guides the audience along a tourist 's journey and the story of the native inhabitants .
instead of telling you what you are already seeing on screen , it quips , " you do n't see what happens after you flush the toilet .
" this engages a viewer to see and think about devastation instead of merely being told it is there .
this strong , sparse storytelling approach runs throughout the film .
stephanie black is also intelligent in how she chooses to disclose the problems faced by the locals .
this is n't just another talking head show of people moaning about their horrible lot in life .
people are interviewed from all sectors of occupation , from field to factory , as well as social theorists and the banking organizations that continue to invest in the country .
the variety of discussion perpetuates a compelling internal dialogue with any viewer , whether they are seeing jamaica for the first time or not .
of course , as can be expected , the united states is slammed , owing to its involvement with the international monetary fund and the world bank .
officials look moronic as they explain why their plans for jamaica 's economy will help the country back on its feet , but only if they are willing to follow the advice word for word .
the next moment we see why and how each of these initiatives has failed , usually due to imports being cheaper than local labor or whether or not the soil is appropriate for the next agricultural trend the u . s . is forcing on the citizens .
admittedly , some of the back and forth between the business - minded organizations and the failures they produce gets repetitive , but it also drives home the impact ignorance can have on both sides of an international argument .
but jamaica is n't against the united states , and this documentary does not accuse the u . s .
of being the sole perpetrator of its grief .
if anything , it begs for a better understanding of the nature of jamaican society before stepping in to change it based on foreign regulations .

question:
toward the bottom of the ' 80s action movie barrel lies action jackson , the only movie in hollywood history to show sharon stone and vanity topless within a span of ten minutes .
this carl " apollo creed
" weathers vehicle features the traditional cop vs .
evil establishment crook , and relies on all the ' 80s trappings , from the token heroin addict who needs a fix to the shouting superior officer .
somewhere in between come the explosions and boobs , although there is a curious lack of exploding boobs .
weathers is action jackson , a detroit cop known for all sorts of crazy vigilante techniques .
speaking of one past criminal apprehension , jackson 's superior yells , " you tore his arm off !
" jackson replies , " he had a spare .
"
jackson has been busted down to a desk job because of past problems with auto manufacturer dellaplane ( craig t . nelson ) and now has to act as department liaison to a dinner honoring nelson .
after hearing what jackson thinks of him , stone says , " i take it
you 're not one of dellaplane 's friends . "
" not unless they changed the definition , " jackson glowers .
and of course it turns out stone is mrs .
dellaplane .
faux pas , jackson . .
.
not everything is happy in motown ; people are being killed and dellaplane has evil plans for the awa .
it 's all up to jackson to stop it , and his only lead lies in vanity ( not his own ) .
wherever she left off with prince in terms of exchanging sexual favors for career advancement she picks up in action jackson .
she plays the heroin addict and chanteuse in dellaplane 's nightclub .
after singing one particularly sultry number for him , she saunters over and complains , " i expected a standing ovation .
"
he responds , " you 're getting one , " and it 's damn clever because he 's sitting down at the time .
prince would n't even let out an innuendo that lame
and he 's the king of the horndogs .
. .
or at least the prince .
it 's a testament to the ' 80s that sharon stone is killed off within the first 30 minutes but vanity survives the whole movie .
action jackson is another variation on the " unlikely partners " buddy action flick , with jackson lugging junkie vanity around .
this leads to some of the worst paired acting of the me decade , and with the dialogue they 're given , there 's not much room for improvement .
my favorite is when vanity , feeling the effects of drug withdrawal , says , " i feel like my teeth are hollow , my gums are made of dry rubber and someone 's trying to start a bonfire in the back of my bloody head .
"
jackson 's response is , " i think i felt that way once .
they called it love .
"
you 'll understand when i say watch this at your own risk . serving the world for nearly 1/25th of a century !

question:
i guess it 's a credit to jackie chan and the general likeability of the franchise that rush hour 2 could not be ruined even by the nauseating " comedy " of chris tucker .
i 'm a fan of jackie chan in just about any medium , and this movie lets him not only do his impressive - as - ever martial arts schtick , but show off his comic timing as well .
it would have worked better if he was the only name above the title .
the plot is your basic martial arts flick clothesline for stunts and special effects .
this time around , the evil smugglers are led by ricky tan ( john lone ) , who makes his fortune by shipping counterfeit money into the united states
( i 'm still not sure how you can make a fortune doing that : is there a place where one can exchange fake bills for real ones ? ) .
the only way to tell the phony money from the genuine article is to set it on fire and see what color it burns .
of course , it 's up to hong kong detective lee ( chan ) and trash - talking lapd detective james carter ( tucker ) to take the bad guys out and the authorities , to the extent that they even exist , stay out of their way .
rush hour 2 turns the tables on the first film in that
here it 's carter who gets the two of them into trouble and lee who winds up having to get them out .
i guarantee that my rating would have been at least a half of a grade higher
had anyone other than chris tucker been cast as the foil for jackie chan .
he refuses to shut up .
not only did his voice feel like a jackhammer on my head , but his jokes just are n't funny , a pathetic mixture of sub - par eddie murphy fasttalking blather and wannabe chris rock white - man - black - man jokes that wind up being more offensive than funny .
i realize that in a movie like this some of the biggest laughs come from letting the actors ad lib beyond what the script dictates , but did n't anyone realize how irritating tucker 's incessant ranting and raving was ? if this is all the comedian has to offer then i do n't care to see any more of his films .
fortunately , chan makes for a marvelous straight man , and he redeems the fledgling comedy completely .
it 's not often that one actor can so completely save a movie , but there is no other name for what he does ; whenever he 's on screen , rush hour 2 comes to nearly breathtaking , often hilarious , life .
much of it hinges on the dubious value of how cute it is to watch chan try to be a " player , " but who cares ?
i can think of few high concepts that are funnier .
the movie ends with outtakes that , as usual , show that chan is n't perfect , and that it does , indeed , take him a few tries to get some of his incredible stunts to look seamless .
chris tucker botches some lines as well , and his mistakes are funnier than anything he says in the whole movie .
a lot of people have pointed out rush hour 2 is n't very different from its predecessor in tone or style .
but i liked the original , and i like the sequel , though a certain sidekick seems to have done his best to ruin it .
director brett ratner ( the family man )
keeps it moving at an entertaining pace and manages to keep the laughs coming despite the fairly miserable hit to miss ratio of the jokes ( i guess sometimes the shotgun approach works ) .
it 's not great jackie chan , but it 's jackie chan , and that 's enough .
up next : jay and silent bob strike back
