Summary: True 2 Life
Review: Okay, since im from London, i cant accuratly depict if this is, or is not the real situations encountered by members of the LA public. But upon watching this for the first time, it really hit me that the horrific things portraid in this movie could happen to anyone of us.

Caine, the main focus of the movie, was brought up in a drug filled home, his father was a drug dealer, and his mother a heroin addict. Caine first saw someone be shot when he was just a child, as shown in the films early scenes. Following this his father is murdered in a fixed drug deal, and his mother overdoses, and dies.

Caines best friend O-Dogg is a 16year old, who, as is said in the movie is 'Americas worst nightmare', hes young, Black, and he just dont giv'a F***.

I wont spoil the movie by saying anymore, but take it from me this is one of the the best movies you will see in a long time, especially if you like the whole gang thing, it also has historical content of the 'Watt's rights'. I say buy it as soon as you can.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Menace II Society
Review: Menace II Society is the story of Caine (Tyrin Turner) a young man living in Watts, Los Angeles. From the very beginning of the movie we follow Caine with an early flashback to his childhood to start . Caines narrative voice is found all throughout this movie. Things start off violent, and never really stop, from beginning to end there is bloodshed, but theres alot more than just violence in this movie, Caine lives a day to day existence, and its only in the end that he realizes whats important to him- Ronnie (Jada Pinkett), her son, his family and living. Other main character is Caines best friend 0-Dog (Larenz Tate) who is young, black and doesnt [care], his presence in movie is really a powerful one, and his lack of conscience contrasts with Caines. Movie also stars Vonte Sweet, Samuel L. Jackson and Glenn Plummer. Produced by Darin Scott & the Hughes Brothers. Tyrin Turner a still virtually unknown actor is excellent in this movie, and in my opinion deserves alot more credit than he has gotten.To say this movie is just powerful is an understatment, and to compare it to Boyz N the Hood is wrong too. There are some similarities, but Menace II Society is alot darker, and wasnt made to please the masses. Maybe thats why I like it so much, because the story is realistic and the makers dont play down the violence to get mainstream appeal. Would like to talk about some of key scenes but you dont do that when writing a review for people who havnt seen the movie, all I will say is this movie is definetly worth watching, and if your like me and really enjoy it, its worth having in the collection.

Summary: After Boyz in da hood
Review: came this, a raw powered movie, that brings to the real of the early 90's South Central LA. This movie is pretty violent and gory, but yet it has a pretty strong message in it. Do you care wether you live or die?

Tyrin Turner(Kaydee) did a excellent dabut about a man who gets cought up in a situation he wants to get out of. Larenz Tate(O-Dog) is more of a straight up gangsta, but did a real good job at acting. Movies with strong messages like this make up for a excellent drama.

If you loved boyz in the hood and don't have this, that's a real shame, even if you didn't watch bouz in da hood, you should get this, and boyz in da hood as well, because those 2 movies are wll-worth the money.

peace

Review: YE YE YE YE GANGSTA PURE 100 % GUNS DRUGS MONEY N HOES

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Real Gangstaaa Sh|t! In da Bran XxX ! Old Dog rulez"!
Review: A normal life in a "black" ghetto in New York is a survival training for every person, ... every day.

The young gangstas O-Dog and Kane get into trouble as they kill an owner of a store and so they get more and more into other problems.A story about crime, drugs and sex starts and terminates
in violence and chaos.

All in all I recommend this movie to teenagers who like gangstamovies and are interrested in Hip Hop.

Summary: great gangster movie!!
Review: I have seen this movie a few times and it keeps getting better every time. It really shows how city life is. I'm sure it's not easy growing up in a huge city. This movie shows how hard it really is and how in the end sometimes it's just to late to change. It has a good message. Also the special features has interviews with the makers of the movie and the choices they had to make while making the movie. Great movie good message and good acting get get any better then that.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GREAT MOVIE- VERY POWERFUL
Review: Larenz Tate was fantastic in this movie. he was more like the meance. It is a story about survival, and it portrays it very well. This film was used in my ethics class and everyone had nothing but the best to say about it. Larenz Tate was also in a man apart with vin diesel. I know the reviews were bad, but he is very good in that one too. F the critics man, give this boy his props. He was also in Dead Presidents, a fantastic realistic movie about war and delaing with poverty. It is also directed by the Hughes Brothers. Keep it up Tate, you da man! PEACE
