Release Date: November 21, 2007
Review: 4 out of 5
Best Scene: The first three quarters of the movie.
This movie is friggen sick. I know no hip hop head would be interested in a movie that from the marketing seems is about old white cowboys. In fact, me and my homie were like the only people in the theatre, it was two other old black dudes and the just those artsy white couples. But let me break it down for you, this movie has “Mcgyvor-like” cowboys, huge Giant Gonzales serial killers, Mexican drug dealers, a 2.8 million dollar stash box and one bad ass Tommy Lee Jones. Oh yeah and a lot of bodies get laid out. Read more

Best Scene: When the credits roll.
I always wanted to play the video game “Hitman” cause it looks mad cool. But since I never got a chance too, on a bored snowy friday night had the choice of either having a few beers on the block (in the cold) or checking out the movie “Hitman”. I chose the latter, bad move. Read more

Director: Ridley Scott
Starring: Denzel Washington, Russell Crowe
Release date: November 2, 2007
Review: 3 out of 5
Best Scene: When Denzel pops that dude from “Daddy’s Little Girls” in the head.
What do you do when you attempt to make a “serious” film about a gangster from Harlem’s rise to riches and spend over a $100 million doing so? You pander like a politician to to the young generation to fill seats. And who better to fill seats than the “dumb” hip hop generation. The marketing of this film has been impeccable. Everything from the trailers showing Denzel Washington pumping his fist over Jay-Z’s classic record “Heart of the City” to casting rappers T.I., Common and RZA and let’s not forget Jay-Z releasing an album by the same name that he says is “inspired by the movie”. To any hip hop head, having Jay-Z inspired by your movie, so much so to make an album about it, is a flashing light sign saying “MUST SEE”. Read more
