Summary: Bones is tight
Review: I had my doubts because it was a Snoop Dogg movie, but this definitely delivers the goods. I loved the entire movie and everybody should buy it!

Summary: Plain Garbage
Review: I just saw this film last weekend, and wasnt surprised. I remember hearing all my buddies all wanting to get together to go see this movie when it came out in theatres, and I refused, I told them id wait for video, because I knew how bad it was. And it looks like I was right. The film is slow and weak, Ill let it keep the one star because of the special effects. Like the dog's red eyes and snoop crawling around as a spirit. The rest is just down right cheesy. And I cant stand snoop dog, I cant stand rap period. Not trying to be racist, but snoop dog playing a ghost wanting revenge, um need I say more? The acting was also horrid, most of the characters are reading their scripts, Pam Grier did an ok job I suppose. I love horror flicks, but this movie bites the big one, its not just a slasher flick, its a boring slasher flick at that. I kept trying to wait for the movie to speed up, however if it did then it probably wouldve only been about 55 minutes long. WIll they ever have any original stories. Honestly I predicted the whole thing, and the maggots coming out of their mouths. What the hell is up with that? What has the horror scene gone too, if you like horror movies then I guess try this one out. you will probably hate it, but snoop dog fans will probably like it, only because they see him in it.

Summary: Started out good enough but sank halfway through.
Review: I like Snoop Dogg. His music always makes me feel good at parties, he's a funny guy and he's not a half bad actor. Now, with that said lets talk about his horror movie "Bones." I can remember when I saw preveiws for this in the theater. Things looked promising enough. All the quick flashes of horror images and gore built the movie up for me as I watched the preveiw. Fast forward to the release date on DVD. I rented it, popped it into my player and got ready to see how Snoop Dogg held up as a horror "bad guy." Well, things started off cool enough. The plot seemed interesting enough, at the start anyways. A creepy building with a dog from hell in it. The dog slaughters a couple of white boys (very bloody) and I was VERY pleased! Things seemed to be going good for the movie thus far. Now, fastforward about 30 minutes later. LAME! Things just got silly, and people started dying that didn't need to die. Now, Im all about the random gore as bloody as it can be. But this time around it just seemed like gross out stuff with gore. Who wants to see a severed head melted onto the pits of hell screaming for mercy? It was just corny, gross and pointless. Especially sense it was a character in the movie I thought "Bones" wouldn't kill! Like I said, I love gory horror movie's but this one just made me feel grossed out after watching it. Not to mention the humor was totally out of line. Horror movies with humor elements should make it "dark humor", not "home boy" humor. These guys should have taken a lesson from the makers of EVIL DEAD 2, thats a classic funny horror movie with TONS of nasty gore! All in all "Bones" wasn't all that good. Its a nasty movie with little to enjoy.

Summary: Funny.GoRy.Scary,has mixed elements of 80s slasher flicks...
Review: i liked this movie,it wasnt bad,it delivered the goods for slasher fans.and it reminded me of those 80s slasher flicks.Whenever the dog ate somehing of meat,the bones formed new tissue and skin in stuff,and in "Hellraiser"same thing,but with the zombie.Jimmy Bones killed people(and their kids)for killing him,just like freddy krueger in "Nightmare On Elm Street"
Other than that,the orangey blood in kinda from "dawn of the dead"i highly recommend it to slasher fans or someone looking for a good movie to watch on a friday night!

Summary: Bones
Review: I wanted to rent Bones, but I thought it would be silly, so I did not get it. When I got I called a friend to ask her and she had seen and told me it was dumb. Well, that night I went back to the video store to see if they had any copies left to rent and they did. I rented and I LOVED it! I, although it was late at night when I finished it. Today I had to take it back and I did not want to. I ordered the soundtrack as soon as I finished watching it. If you love horror movies, you are in for the biggest blast ever.

Summary: Very very limp.
Review: I was actually excited about seeing this movie. The idea of Snoop Dogg as an undead pimp with revenge on his mind (And his mind on revenge) sounded pretty interesting. However, the execution of this movie is very poor. The screen time in owned by a group of unknown young actors and Snoop only gets about 20 total minutes of screen time. I expected some great campy humor out of this movie, one of those movies that is "so bad that it is good" but it was just so bad that it hurt. The movie just lingered on and on, and even though it's only and hour and a half, I lost my patience half way through. This movie could have been so much better if the script would have actually revolved around Bones, rather than a bunch of ineffectual characters who, by the end of the movie, serve no purpose whatsoever. This should have been straight to video.

Summary: With Cool Pam Grier, Why Complain?
Review: I watched this film in Osaka, Japan at a small theater with only three audiences (including me). Though I admit I enjoyed watching it, there are lots of complaints about this one; I can hear loud BOOs all around. Yes, I understand, this is not for everybody's idea of enjoying a scary night because the film is NOT what it was expected to be. Black dog with eyes shining red? And that is supposed to be reincarnation of Jimmy Bones, long dead in a cellar, played by Snoop Dogg? It sounds like a bad joke, but wait! I believe there are some misunderstanding among us, so let's set the record straight. "Bones" is a horror flick, but not prefectly so.First of all, at some points the film might possibly scare you, you don't have to take everything so seriously. Look at how "Bones" starts -- it shows a diapidated house that exactly looks like a skull. Now you should know what "Bones" is all about -- it is done with tongue-in-cheek attitude. And with a pre-credit sequence that is fairly scary, the film jumps back into the time of 1979 (!), when the neighborhood was still lively with Afro-American kids, and there comes Snoop Doggs' hustler Jimmy Bones, with a big diamond ring and a switchblade knife, his girlfriend being Pam Grier, goddess of blaxploitaion films that flourished in the 1970s. Wow. The film then goes on, unfolding the two stories that finally joins in the end; four young actors who are going to redecorate the haunted house as a night club, and the fate of Jimmy Bones. Thanks to its tightly-knit script, "Bones" succeeds not to fall into a predictable development, even though close at the ending it looks still muddled. There are lots of blood, nightmare, worms (alive) falling from up above, flying knives and talking heads made by CGIs, and Snoop Dogg's Jimmy Bones' revenge story and Pam Grier as a medium who uses supernatural power. Too much? Sure, it is. Laughable? Maybe. But never dull. To me, "Bones" is interesting because it reminds me of 70s Afro-American pictures. Pam Grier, who as far as I remember never played the role of mother, is great in this rather confusing heap of horror and twisted humor, and as her daughter Bianca Lawson ("Dawson's Creek") is also good. Snoop Dogg cuts a nice figure as the title role, but his screen time is not as long as his fans might want it to be. But most interesting thing is the presence of director Ernest Dickerson, whose outstanding career as a photographer of Spike Lee's films should be known to all of us. His original styles (fast-editing, slanted picture, etc) are also shown here, but I find it intriguing that his taste as a movie fan has much influenced "Bones." Bunches of zombies, worms, and so on -- these "bad taste" elements are, of course, his answer to Dario Argento and Italian horror school, and as this Italia maestro often sacrifices the plot in order to create his unique (too Unique) styles, so Dickerson half-jokingly shows off his love of genre with a help from good production design, and ridiculously overblown direction. So, this is a horror film, but is a kind of homage to European ones, or blaxploitaion flims such as, most notably, "J.D.'s Revenge" which some part of the story resembles. Trashy fun, you say, but fun anyway.

Summary: This was actually a prety good movie
Review: I've been wanting to see this movie for a long time and never got a chance to see it in the theaters, since it was only there for about 2 weeks. Now that I have seen it, I will say that I am happy with the end result. BONES had a good story, good acting, good action, etc. Snoop does really good as the title character, Jimmy Bones. The movie is about these kids who are part of a band that try to fix up Bones' old pad to make it a club. They didn't know about Bones. One of them later finds a dog locked in a closet in the building (It's Bones in another life) and, as time goes on, Bones begins talking, while he is the dog, and soon he gets out of the dog and he is himself. He seeks revenge on those who took part in his murder. It's a pretty good movie. See it if you like Snoop.

Summary: I Feelt this movie could have been better!!!
Review: I've seen Snoop Dogg in a lot of movies and to tell you the truth he's probabley the worste actor I have ever seen, BUT in this film he did a great job of acting... it's as if he took acting classes. The movie was ok but not worth buying or adding to your DVD collection. The Plot was good but they didn't use it correctley... they could have done so much more, especially for the ending which just, how should i put it... [STUNK]! the blood in the movie looked more like paint instead of real blood and there was a lot of paint in this movie. It had some spooky parts in it and the killing scene were really good until it started to come close to the end, the killing scenes ended up to be more ridiculouse than anything else!! Some thought the movie was great i thought it was ok and i recommend Bones for renting but not for buying!!!!
