Another Oscar-winner, Jamie Foxx, also demonstrates that even victors have bills to pay—got to buy a few more cars to maintain that star lifestyle. Maybe those gigantic sunglasses that keep shading the eyes of his character, Lieutenant Henry Purcell, are Foxx’s way of channeling his past good fortune into a piece of acting that can only be described as mediocre. It’s as if his agent reminded him to “keep smiling and swaying, and maybe the audience will think Ray became a jet pilot...
...giving Edi a full database of angry rock music to play while he zooms through the sky, we never really feel the action. The ring of fire explosion shown in the trailer doesn’t leave your heart pumping, and even a total building demolition seems lackluster. Though Foxx is trying hard to emulate Will Smith (with the hippest new lingo, too—on seeing Edi: “It is a bag of chips alright”) he fails to deliver the humor he once did in “In Living Color” or even...
Once Lucas got Sony's nod (it didn't hurt that Jamie Foxx also signed on--at five times Lucas' salary), Cohen put him through hero school, teaching him the kinds of lessons that Method actors don't want to hear: unlike normal people, heroes don't flinch, and they don't reveal any backstory.

The group recounted bygone Boston glories and dared to predict future victories. From such hushed intercourse, movements are born. These renegades with their neckties, bow ties, wingtips, and dedication to the Sox weren?t unlike Hancock, Revere, and the gang, huddling in that tavern in Lexington...
...gioooooo!? Curious and emboldened, Berry made his way through the car and found Powers leading the chorus. ?He seemed to resemble the immortal ?Nuf Sed McGreevey, a leader of the Royal Rooters of the early 1900s. I introduced myself by offering a toast to the great Jimmie Foxx. By mentioning Ol? Double X, I promptly identified myself...
