Mystery Ghetto Theater 3000

[Rain Man]

Back to the top with a few more entries:

Lift (2000) A successful department store clerk steals clothes and sells them on the street for profit and kicks. BOR-ING!

Makin' Baby (2002) An aspiring music artist's wife wants to become a mother but can't conceive. Could this be their lucky night? Features Mystikal as a music label producer.

Go For Broke (2003) Two broke men, one black and one white, (Pras Michel and Micheal Goorijan) win the $10 million state lotto and can pay their landlord and two loan sharks (Glenn Plummer and Bobby Brown). But a female burglar named Star (LisaRaye) robs the restaurant they were in and takes the lotto ticket to write a phone number on it. She gets apprehended and goes to prison--with the lotto ticket. The two men dress as women, deliberately commit a crime and "follow" Star into prison to get the ticket. In short, this is a cross between "Bosom Buddies", "Oz" and "Stir Crazy". Personally, I didn't think it was that bad; it kept my attention throughout the movie.

Has anyone seen Durdy Game? I heard it was worth renting. When I was in BB last week, the DVD wasn't available. There was only ONE copy in the store.

Funny that you mention this movie!!

I saw it Thursday night at an undisclosed location and it was TRULY GHEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTTTOOOOOOOOOO!!! LOL, but the company I kept made it less painful.

Funniest moment, cameraman handing actor a pen off screen.

Yall should check it out if only to have a big old time.

One of my friends told me that it was kind of good. I may go and rent it.

I saw it! And I wouldn't worry about the DVD. The bonus features on that had a documentary on the flick with cast and director interviews, and a "deleted scenes" section, which was nothing more than an "extended" version of the soft-core porno sex scenes. As CT4 said, it was GHETTO!!

ANOTHER ENTRY FROM THE VAULT!!!

Bachelor Party: Overxposed (2003). A man is getting married and his friends are throwing a bachelor party in his honor. His fiancee is against it (naturally). He makes a promise not to mess around. Can he keep his word? Is his fiancee keeping a secret from him?

Well, one of the guy's friends who was coordinating the bachelor party was giving him empty promises (IMHO), like "This party is gonna have some women that's gonna make Janet Jacme jealous. It's gonna be dirtier than a Jake Steed video, dawwwwg." When I saw the party scene, I wanted to smack the dude for lying his head off.

Notable point: What is up with the "commercials"? Every 10-15 minutes or so, a scene would end and seguine into a segment where someone would ask various people (men and women) what they think about bachelor parties and these folk would give their testimonials about their views and escapades during these events. At the end of the flick, the last persons to be asked were, you guessed it, the male cast members.

Do me a favor, stick with the classic 80s Tom Hanks version.

Aaaaaaaw dayum, we missed the bonus features.

Oh and Coco was built awkwardly as hell so watching her have sex was ____________________(no words come to mind right now).

Anyway, I rented:

"Amour Infinity" (Maverick) and "The Other Brother" with Mekhi Pfifer

I like Amour Infinity, I thought it was kinda cute...But I hated the baby momma in that movie...

But the only thing I could come up with is....*audience roars into laughter again* (Geez, what a dirty crowd we have here)

OK, more entries

IMHO, this flick wasn't bad, but then again this movie was filmed in my hometown:

Jacked Up (2002): A teenager (RonReaco Lee) must kill an innocent civilian as an initiation into Zach's (Bizzy Bone) gang. He does so and with it comes the regret. In order to make amends, he befriends the man's widow (Anna Marie Horsford), and children (Brandon Thomas and Alexis Fields). As the bonds between him and the family get tighter, the ability to confess his sin gets harder.

Filmed primarily in Columbus, Ohio's near East Side; Main Street to the North, I-70 to the South, 18th St. to the west, and Loeffler Ave. to the east. (BTW, that area really is a ROUGH part of town).

Other notable facts: to make ends meet, the widow prostituted herself part time. During the Main St. streetwalk scene, the director noted that someone went up to Anna Marie Horsford and an extra and tried to proposition them, not knowing that it was for a movie.

Oh, and one more thing: Alexis Fields was HOT! Grrrrrowl! But then again I have a thing for nerdy girls.

I had another flick to mention, but I will post it later.

Motives:

Has anyone seen this film? It stars Shemar Moore, Vivica A. Fox, Golden Brooks, even Keshia K. Pullman is in the film. I think it's from the producers of Trois and Trois :2 Pandora's Box. The plot attempts to twist and turn like those mentioned above, but it wasn't quite there.

30 Years to Life...very disappointed!

Nora's Hair Salon....

Motives (2004) - Pretty much what 2D described above, another Black adult thriller with the usual plot twists and turns. IMHO, better than Pandora's Box, and the end result made may say "darn, that's messed up). The sex scenes were more erotic than both Trois flicks combined. To the fellas @ Rainforest Films (Rob and Will), and the sista that wrote the story whose name escapes me right now, keep it up and you'll get that call from Zalman King (Red Shoe Diaries, Wild Orchid) giving you mad props for the high eroticism. Again, the flick wasn't bad, and Rainforest Films is going in the right direction with the adult thrillers. Keep on pushin' the envelope.

Another entry:

The Naked Truth (2004). Another entry from Xenon Pictures featuring a ghetto-ized version of "The Players Club", only in this one, strippers are getting gang-raped (by getting them extra drunk) and even killed. The story line was disorganized, I couldn't follow what was going on and to whom. The DVD bonus features included a segment on the strippers lifestyle, and the ups and downs thereof, something I would've like to see on The Players Club DVD.

Nora's Hair Salon....

I bought this from Sam's last weekend! If you have the DVD you have to listen to the writer/producer's comments (the dude that played Devin) He was too funny (but not on purpose!) Why did he say he thinks Nora's will be the most important and long lasting Beauty Shop film to come out. errr.......how bout even my 14 year old niece was talking about it was a hot mess?!?!?

BB has a new "Independent Black Film" Section:

Civil Brand- Da Brat, LisaRaye, MC Lyte, Lark Voohries, Tachina Arnold etc (The film was ok)

Skin Deep- AJ Johnson, the lady from Mad TV (she usually does the skits as Whitney) There were twists and turns. I'd recommend you check it out.
