Can You Say GANGSTA! Ingeniously Plotted



I could not wait for this movie to come out man! First of all it is a John Singleton film and you know that nephew there gots a lot on his mind already...(he should have a blogspot) I mean his past films left you somewhere thinking about some s**t for real. So naturally I wanted to check it out.


Then look at the line up in this film...you got, Mark Walburg's sexy white self, Tyrese wit his ol' chocolate sexy self, Andre 3000 wit his ol' Vegan eating sexy self and...then you got Terrence Howard's ol' hustler sexy self too...this movie was like the food for my loins I ain't lying!! LMAO!!

It's the story of four different men(two black, two white) who had the same mother. A woman who took them in as boys and raised them to be men...I say she took them in as BOYS!! and raised them to be MEN!! that part right there ought to win him a oscar. I like the way he (john) used black and white men to play these characters...he should have a Latino dude in the mix as well(ummmmmmmmmmmm) okay, I'm back now!!(wink)Each one of them were different in personality as well. (I liked that) They were coming home to bury their mother, and wound up searching for her killers as well.

It was a wonderful tale of brotherly love and bonding. It showed us that color really isn't and issue in some parts of the world...see cause I am just crazy enough to believe that if that woman would take in four boys of different races(even if it was a movie) then some white woman in the real world would do the same d**n thing. The story line was so powerful. The came real gangsta in this movie as well. I mean Mark Walburg is already a black man trapped in a white mans body. And the villain they had in this film...CRAZY AS H*LL! He was such a freakin jerk!! And talk about the action in this film...Loved It!! They shot this film in the winter time, so the cinematograghy was great. I thought it was a well written and directed film. And big ups to Andre 3000...he really surprised me as an actor.

I'm about to play Ebert and Roper here and give this film two thumbs up! I recommend that everyone go and check it out...you'll be glad you did.
Let's hear what Ebert and Roeper had to say anyway...

I must confess I had to skim your post. I don't know if you've seen the movie but its on my to do list and I'm excited about it because I keep hearing such great things about the movie and if you follow my blog you can see that I've been on a slow decline with my movie choices so this one will put me back in the black.

I'm going to see it on Friday. I hope it's as good as you say.= cause' I haven't seen a really good movie in a minute. And I feel you on Tyrese... there's just something about him. I've liked him ever since he was on the back of the bus singing on the Coke commercial. Good post!

I love this movie with a passion. Marky Mark doing his thug thing had me takin' a second look. Then reality popped me on the side of the head. But there is nothing like seeing Tyrese's chocolate self on a huge screen.

Okay so while me and a few of my co~workers were in the breakroom early this morning, I began to tell them about this board game I bought. In this game there is a part where you have to tell the truth about whatever the next player ask you...it's sort of like "Truth or Dare"... but with a twist...and it's for grown folks...okayyyyy! Well One of the cards you can play is called "Lunch with the girls!" and it has several different open~ended questions on it. For instance one card might say: How do you... and then you have to fill in the blank...with whatever comes to your mind first, but it has to be something real true and honest. Well we played a bit of it during our break and let me tell you...them folks I work with are NASTY YA'LL! *LOL* They had me rolling...but it was all in good fun. I decided to do one and post it. Now I won't tag anyone to do one of their own, but I will encourage you to. It's a fun way of revealing just a little bi...

Okay so like the day before Thanksgiving my girl Belle (we call her that cause she loves to read books like Belle from Beauty and the Beast...plus she sings everything!) Anyway, she called me and told me she was going to her company's Pre~Thanksgiving party and she needed to borrow some really trendy shoes to complete the outfit wearing. Well this is how she said it ..."Danni, can I use a pair of your shoes to go with these new jeans I'm wearing to my jobs party tonight?" No class at all folks! Anyway, at first I was like (in the back of my mind) Hell Naw you can't use a pair of my shoes! Are you crazy? But then I sorta felt sorry for her and her new pair of jeans...I mean they deserve to be the hit of the party right? And what way to do that then with a fabulous pair of shoes. So I reluctantly said yes and asked her to describe her outfit to me so that I could pick just the right pair. She told me she was wearing this Seafoam green and Pink silk blouse and of co...
