 Mr. Movie Maniac April 28, 2008
This is a movie I already owned , but a neighbor of mine wanted a copy,so I purchased one for him. The story relates very closely to events that have happened in real life. I highly recommend it.
 The most important film of the early nineties March 25, 2008
Boyz N The Hood is a cinematic tour deforce. John Singelton has made an improtant film that every young man can realte to no matter what his ethnic background. I first remeber going to see Boyz N the Hood with my stepfather when I was ten years and even a child I understood the message behind the film. John Singleton's Oscar nomination for Best Director at the age of 24 makes him the youngest director to ever receive such an accolade, beating Orson Welles by a good 2 years and it was well earned. The acting in the film was very strong and all of the actors would gone on to finer things. Boyz N the Hood is a classic film that stood the test of the time.
Good movie, wrongly presented on amazon though January 15, 2008
Amazon had this movie listed as a widescreen with 5.1 when it was really only a full screen version with dolby 2.0 only. Still a good movie though.
Set the scene for BLACK CINEMA>>But what happened? January 10, 2008
I was born in 1986, so obviously I was too young to understand what this was all about around the time it came out. However, as I grew up, I began to love this more and more - however never being able to get to watch the entire film for some reason. Eventually I know its crazy, but I have recently sat down to watch the ENTIRE film, and man I could see it again.
What it represents is the reality of life in a certain neighbourhood in America, being from the UK we have our equivalents but they are not as harsh as the U.S seriously. Obviously people watch this today and think "okay this was based on lives back then in the hood.." hmmmm, yeh right because the ghetto has all of a sudden come up to a life of luxury? No more like the people acting in this movie are living the lush life, but the ghetto still exists!
This film brought Cuba to the attention of Hollywood of course, and out of all the films he has done (yes including Jerry McGuire where he acts stereotypically black), this is the best he has done by far! However, Morris Chestnut and Ice Cube made it what it was, and for Ice Cube this was the beginning of creating more and more black based movies that started a new genre of realism to the big screen (don't make me start on FRIDAY - that's my film right there - Chris bloody Tucker - aka SMOKEY - classic).
I really do wish they could still be making films like MENACE II SOCIETY, JUICE, BOYZ N THE HOOD and NEW JACK CITY nowadays because young black America need that realism we used to have - they are growing up to believe that everything is all peachy and that they can all be Chris Brown's in the future? Life is not a party - this is the message that needs expressing!
