Summary: Bizzy Get's Bizzy
Review: I admit, I love some Bizzy Bone so that is the main reason I purchased this DVD. I also love Timothy Wayne Forsome. He is a very creative director, and I support black indies movies. Bizzy Bone gives and all out performance, as he makes you laugh as well as look in awe at times. The lead actor is a very good actor and you may see him on major roles soon. It's a decent movies but not all that good, could have been better.

Rating: 3 stars

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: It sux
Review: I only wanted to see this movie because Bizzy Bone was in it. I'm a Rap/Hip-Hop fan and I also liked Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. But when I saw it, it was stupid. Bizzy Bone is not that good a rapper (well, he's okay) and he's not any better at acting. The plot goes nowhere until the end. If you wanna see it, take my advice and rent it. You won't waste as much money as buying it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good Rapper Doesn't always equal BAD ACTOR
Review: I saw the movie, like most, because of Bizzy but I didn't think he would do very well. Most times rappers just leave much to be desired on screen. I was proved wrong! Bizzy, for the most part, was very believable in the part of Zach. I think that his performance was awesome. The parts where he really shined was when he played opposite Ronreaco Lee. An awesome actor in his own right, Lee helped bring out the best in Bizzy's acting, as opposed to when Bizzy played against less talented actors.

As for the movie, I enjoyed the plot twists and turns. I think that for it to be a black film, it broke through almost all of the stereotypes known to exist in black indies. It was a learning as well as an entertaining experience, and everyone should see the movie, if you ,like good acting, or if you like Bone. Both audiences will be pleased. My whole family enjoyed it!

Rating: 4 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: dat ish
Review: I would highly reccommend this film to anyone interested in seeing a fairly good Indy film from a up and coming director.

At first the cover art at the Video Store made me almost not rent it- it appeared to be a "typical hood bling-bling" type of film. IT IS NOT THAT> there were moral delimmas, innocence, the plight of the working-class, taking responsibility for your own actions, you reap what you sew etc..

Ronreaco Lee gave an excellent performance of a young man who could go either way in todays society. Anna Marie Horford was great in her "stong mother" role, without being sterotypical and Bizzy Bones performance was pretty good also-I wondered if he was truly playing an "excelerated" version of himself-scary.

The directors commentary was pretty good also.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: Tired of Typical Flicks? Then Check This Out...
Review: My emotions were on a roller coaster ride with this movie, but it was good. Talk about pay back...the pay back in this movie was unbelievable, yet heart warming. A young man kills an innocent husband and father during a gang initiation. He was told that the gun was not loaded. He and his buddy escape capture, but one of the young men actually has a conscious. He be-friends the dead man's family and makes sure that they are healed, healthy and whole. He assists the widow (who resorts to turning tricks to make ends meet) find a better paying job; he keeps the son from the thug life and he turns the shy/introverted daughter into a blooming college freshman. The daughter also falls in love with him. In the midst of all of this, he himself is accepted into college. All is well that ends well...right? Well, if you are tired of the typical flicks, you should see this one because it will be a favorable change. After the young man's mother is killed, he must make a decision. Will her death be enough to account for his sins? Has his good deeds for the family of the man he killed prove to be enough of a redeeming quality? Check it out to see. The ending really is jacked up.
