Gangsta Rap: The Glockumentary (2007)
I liked this movie a lot more when it was still called CB4
or fear of a black hat... whatever. I am afraid 10 lines of text about this movie would be impossible. maybe a haiku...
I only wish I. could erase the memory. of watching this poop.
The jokes are recycled and hardly still relevant as gangsta rap has faded into mediocre messages of thug mentalities and misguided angst. Maybe if this film was a true parody its smacking of this same un-originality would fit but that seems to be only a happy coincidence.
Even Dian Bachar aka "little bitch" cant make this funny...
Gangsta Rap: The Glockumentary is to CB4 as Bad Boy is to NWA, what ice cube circa '91 is to ice cube circa '01.
Even Malibu's Most Wanted is better than this... avoid.
Crank (2006)
Pleasantly surprised
I thought this movie would suck... and I more than liked it.
I am no Transporter fan and this movie isn't hamlet but it is one of the best popcorn fodder flicks I have ever seen. Up there with any die hard and certainly better than ANY (triple)XXX.
The best thing about this flick is that it doesn't really fit the "action" genre or "comedy" or even make classic "b" movie status, but it almost fits in all.
This movie will be a cult hit... It's funny, violent (without being grotesque), engaging and smartly edited with great cinematography (definitely not what I was expecting).
If your expectations are high... then yeah... you will find faults. But I can say the same for most campy action flicks. Here is the secret... treat it like fast food. Don't think about it, just enjoy it.
