I see a film and I write a few words about it. Sometimes I add a picture.

40. Brooklyn's Finest
I feel like I've seen Brooklyn's Finest many times before, not that it's without merit -it's just a bit 'familar'. Familiar actors, director, locations, plot lines, situations yadda yadda yadda. It does still have it's plus points though; the excellent performances of the three main protagonists - especially Ethan Hawke as the under pressure cop trying to support his family while not lose his job, sanity and life.
Overall though is pretty much by the numbers and the ending 'kind of' delivers but its all so very matter of fact that you feel incredibly underwhelmed by the whole affair.
Oh, and at least Don Cheadle doesn't do his 'cawknee' accent.
37. Internal Affairs
A quality 90's cop-athon with Richard Gere playing the biggest bastard cop ever committed to celluloid (well at the time at least). Gere is brilliant as Dennis Peck, a cop on the take and take he does; Colleges wives, salaries and even their lives.
Andy Garcia then chips up as an Internal Affairs officer and proceeds to be very angry throughout while shooting and throwing stuff (although not necessarily in that order). Also features lesbians.
