Trois
 

has anyone seen this movie? i saw it for the first time last night (ya'll know how late i am on all the black movies). i'm scratchin' my head trying to figure out if this movie is WORSE than HavPlenty. what do you all think?

Re: Trois
 

OMG Soror last night I was plagued with insomnia -- Them dang bruhs. ;) I started to watch it but then I just decided I would rather stare at my ceiling instead. :o

i think i would have had a better time driving to charlotte and looking at your ceiling then driving back to the great state of texas than to watching that movie!

Trois
 

This movie along with HavPlenty, Master P's I'm Bout it :rolleyes: and Leprachaun in the Hood has the worst acting I have ever seen in my twenty years of living.

Re: Re: Trois
 

Um CT4,
Will you be rejuvenated by Thursday? :D

Re: Re: Re: Trois
 

But of course!!:cool: :D
I am on Rejuvenation Road as we speak!

I saw this movie too a couple years ago and the acting was really bad. I only watched in because Gary Duordan was in it and I absolutely LOVE him. I think he is so handsome. He made the movie great to me (but I'm clearly biased!) :D

I saw it too a couple of years back. I think the only reason I did was because something about the directors being from FAMU.
Bad isn't even the word to describe the acting. :rolleyes: The woman..I forget her name...wasn't she like a beauty queen or something....well she was the WORST actress. Ugh! :eek: But yall do have a point...it's right up there with being just as bad as HavPlenty!

Kenya Moore. Isn't she an AKA?

mkay...

shazaa did a pretty good acting job...given the script

kenya moore used this movie as the opportunity to show her boobies all over my television screen and for that, i'm pissed. i know the title of the movie will suggest some raunchiness, but suprisingly, the sex scenes were somewhat tasteful. but her pushed-up breast all over and throughout the movie really agitated me

the chick who joined them...HO-REE-BULL!!! i don't think she could act her way out of a wet paper sack!!! she couldn't even cry convincingly when they took her son. and can we say "un-cute?!!!"

the homeboy who hooked the trois up...he was a pretty good actor until the end when the script took a turn for hell!! why in the world did that fool come back as her ex-boyfriend?? pure dumb-ness.

the writers of this script...WTFIWWY!!!!!!! that movie dealt with everything and too much. if you haven't seen it, i'm about to ruin it for you. this movie was about, of course a trois, long-distance relationships, single motherhood, domestic violence, stalking, murder, the court system, blackmail, and nightmares with some interracial dating, bisexuality, and tacky clothing sprinkled in.

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE IDIOTS WHO GAVE THE GREEN LIGHT ON THIS ONE... i want the minutes i wasted on watching this movie back!! if i ever catch you by yourself...

Who told Kenya Moore she could act?!?!?!
 

A FLAMIN' HOT MESS!

The movie was absolutely uncalled for.

The lady that "joined" them is Gretchen Palmer. She is definately known for being raunchy in films. She can currently be seen on "The Young and the Restless."

Yeah Kenya Moore...Miss USA. I wasn't really feeling her in anything she's acted in.
I'm not sure about her being a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha though. If so, someone feel free to correct me. :D

Clawd I just went to her website, http://www.kenyamoore.com She will be in a movie with LL and Gabrielle Union this year or so.


I am still checking on AKA status but I remember reading somewhere that of the 4 Miss USAs who had been Black, 3 were AKAs.


Found what I was looking for, Kenya Moore is not one of the 3 AKAs. :cool:

Good looking out CT4! Research Queen! :D

C'mon, now, give the producer and director a little credit
 

FOR THE RECORD,

Trois was co-written by Rob Hardy (director) and William Packer (producer). Both are in our age range (28-29 years old) and are Florida A&M graduates. Rob is an Alpha and William is a Que (or vice versa).

I will give them credit for at least trying to break down the door for providing quality Black erotica. I liked the movie, because I felt there was some potential for these brothers. I think the plot needed a little work, but considering these cats were still novices (their prior work was Chocolate City, filmed @ FAMU in '93(?)), they deserve a[nother] chance.

Technically, the movie was rated NC-17, but the deletion of certain aspects of the "trois" scene (which I saw, while it was brief, it had my jaw dropping), downgraded the rating to an R status.

For those of you with DVDs, rent that and turn on the director's commentary. Hardy and Packer gives you the lowdown on the details of filming and why certain scenes were shot in such a way. Personally I loved the commentary, and even laughed along with them when they cracked a joke or said something humorous. I actually want to own this film b/c they made me feel like I was watching it with my closest friends.

ALSO, they will be coming out with a 3rd film either late this year or sometime in 2003 called "Pandora's Box", which features Michael Jai White, Monica Calhoun, and Chrystale Wilson.

Anyhow, give these brothers a chance to show their talent before you start knocking their work.

Much Luv,

RM

Re: C'mon, now, give the producer and director a little credit
 

their chance was the hour and a half that i spent watching this movie! :rolleyes:

and i know that their next movie will be better than this because they couldn't do any worse!!!!!

I support African American movies but that was horrible.Was there even a plot in the movie?

Re: Re: C'mon, now, give the producer and director a little credit
 

Let's hope it can't get any worse.

Oh, yea...

That tall blonde was in it from "The Player's Club" also. I believe her name is Chrystal Wilson (pronounced like the champagne). correct me if I am incorrect. I hope better roles come her way. :rolleyes:

I saw this movie a while ago. I thought it was horrible. The budget for this movie must have been very little. Not only are the actors terrible, but sets look cheap.

Thank goodness for the GC Review Crew
 

So I won't waste my time looking for this movie, although I did like Hav Plenty a little more than people who posted on this board.

Has anyone heard about a Black indie film called G that stars Richard T. Jones, Chenoa Maxwell and Blair Underwood? I've seen info, but no release date. :confused:

Err, I watched the movie. Disturbing, disturbing stuff. Why the f*** would you, if you are a MARRIED, STRAIGHT woman, consent to garbage like that?
:mad:

Re: Thank goodness for the GC Review Crew
 

YEAH I FOUND SOMEONE ELSE THAT LIKED HAV PLENTY!

Re: Re: Thank goodness for the GC Review Crew
 

It was a reasonable film with some funny moments, including Haviland calling Lee a "p@#$-colored m@(*&%}+>:."

Frankly, I'm of the age where anything other than a hood movie or quasi-coon comedy would appeal to me.

If I had any money, I would invest in such films.

:D

This movie was SOOOOO BAD!

Ugh!

Awful!

TROIS is on sale @ WAL MART for $5.96 :D :p

I saw it last night and thought of this thread.

I found out on another list ;) (CT4) that there was a Trois II.
:eek:

I'm so mad that I took the time to watch this movie!

Hmm... I can't find the movie... not even in the adult shops that I thought would have it.

I guess I'm never gonna see it.

PSST!!!!

Trois 3 on DVD on 12.28.04. :p


LMAO

Sistergreek CT4...you have gots to be kidding?

No...please tell me....that you ARE REALLY KIDDING!?!?! :eek: :confused:

TROIS 2 was actually okay. The first one was hot garbage. Not sure why they keep returning to the well on this one but it could be an okay film. It can't be worse than TROIS can it?

Ok I saw Trois 2&3 this weekend...(along with Dodgeball..this movie is funny) and the plot twists are very good. #3 was actually pretty good

okay now i can get it as rental cause i couldn't part with good money if it was anything like part one, i agree that 2 wasn't what you'd expect and anything without that cartoon fight scene is good

I went to Hollywood Thursday night and saw Trois 3 and immediately thought of the Troise lovers and haters.

RBL, I also rented Dodgeball. That was a good movie. :) I can add it to my video collection one day.

Rented Trois 3 over Christmas weekend...
 

...and I gotta admit that it was rather good.

Unlike Trois 1 & 2, where I was expecting T&A and was disappointed, I expected a decent plot in Trois 3, and I got a GREAT plot. Very psychological dramatic elements, and is comparable to a mainstream (white) adult thriller for entertainment value.

For those of you who was disappointed in the first 2 Trois movies, you will not be disappointed in Trois 3. Hardy & Parker did not direct this Trois, it was a guy named Skav One (Sylvian White).

Also, imdb.com and Amazon.com viewers have gave Trois 3 rave reviews (whereas the previous 2 movies have received mixed to poor reviews).

Go to BB or Hollywood Video and check it out. You will not be disappointed.
