If you love the Black Eyed Peas then don’t forget to catch the “Knight and Day”. Of course, will.i.am doesn’t play the villain in the movie but he wrote “Someday” the theme song of Tom Cruise’s latest action film “Knight and Day.” The Black Eyed Peas debuted the song by spinning it at an after-party that followed their concert at London’s O2 Arena last May 27.
The sexy action-comedy “Knight and Day” stars Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz. He is a covert agent sent on a mission he was never meant to complete while Cameron Diaz’s character is a woman caught between the agent and those he claims set him up. As their globetrotting adventure erupts into a maze of double-crosses, close escapes and false identities, they come to realize that all they can count on in the end is each other. “Knight and Day” also stars Peter Sarsgaard, Viola Davis, Paul Dano, Maggie Grace and Marc Blucas. This film looks to be worth a look when it starts showing later this month.

Definitely, The Black Eyed Peas are one of the most successful recording groups to date. Fergie, will. i.am, apl.de.ap and Taboo have surpassed their hip-hop roots and have become a global phenomenon. They have already won six Grammy Awards and are currently touring to promote their fifth album, The E.N.D., which has already sold 7 million copies worldwide. This movie venture and teaming up with famous Hollywood stars Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz is just an example of their evolution as performers.

During the first half hour, I seem to not understand the plot of the story. True, that the fight scenes are fabulous but the roles played by each character is a bit bizarre. Good thing it did a clearer pickup when the King died. “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time” is loosely-based on the widely successful 2003 game of the same name.

The story revolved around the lives of Dastan (Jake Gyllenhaal), a child living on the streets until the Persian King adopted him due to his courage and good heart. Fifteen years after that fateful event, Dastan is now Prince of Persia. Together with his two brothers Tus (Richard Coyle), Garsiv (Toby Kebbell) and their uncle Nizam (Ben Kingsley), the Persians plan on attacking the holy city of Alamut in the belief that the city is supplying the enemies of Persia with weapons. The Persians overrun the city and Dustan gets a peculiar dagger from one of his fights during the attack. However though, the Persians are hard-pressed to find the hidden weapons they are looking for. The King is not happy with the haphazard decision of his son and heir Tus (Richard Coyle)and deem him still unfit for the throne. The next day, the King is presented with a holy robe by Dastan. Unfortunately, the robe is poisoned and the King dies. Dastan is accused of assassinating the King and he must now find out who framed him up. There to help him is Princess Tamina, the guardian of the dagger.

“Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time” was a good movie with all the great special effects it has. But overall it is not something you would remember for the rest of your life.
