Entertainment news Click here for current entertainment news Reviews Latest Review Additions:    The Recruit (in Film) If there was ever a time you thought about being James Bond and wondered about the training process, this is the film for you. Starring Al Pacino and Colin Farrell as the teacher and the student, the film gives you a jolt of suspense as the plot is not what is seems. Reviewed by Wilson Morales City of God (Cidade de Deus) (in Film) City of God is a heady experience of violence, notoriety and damn good storytelling. Regardless of the chaotic filmmaking, the viewer is held in place by the knowledge that this story is real. Reviewed by Niija Kuykendall Biker Boyz (in Film) Biker Boyz is based on an article that appeared in the Los Angeles New Times in 1999. It detailed the rarely heard of world of black motorcycle clubs that fraternize and compete in races up and down southern California. Despite its soft ending, Biker Boyz is highly entertaining and also intriguing because of its insider view on another aspect of black life.. Reviewed by Godfrey Powell Good Fences (in TV Movies) Coming out this week are films that some have been waiting to see on their own time rather than on television. Some of these films helped actors better in their craft and some helped rap music cement their place in the industry.
