Hustle & Flow (2005)

Fictional character D-Jay can get Crunk all the way to Grammys

[10/10 · 4 August 2005]

I heard that they are positioning Terence Howard for an Oscar. But the real movement already began when the H&F soundtrack was sold out in Los Angeles with major and mom/pop retailers and I had to find it in Hollywood. The soundtrack is so dope (yeah, I said dope) that any new appearances by Terence Howard for movie promotion should be restricted to musical performances by D-Jay doing live performances(where appropriate). I'm excited about the buzz in the streets on H&F--the movie, and soundtrack. It's phenomenal that Howard has pulled it off so well that people are paying more attention to D-Jay, and "Whup Dat TricK", than actually seeing the movie--although the tracks are a hit, you cant get the full scope and feeling without seeing the movie first. I'm officially casting my nomination and vote for D-Jay as best new hip-hop artist. 'Yeah, Mane!!"

Enemy (1998)

sound made film bad

[10/10 · 14 June 2005]

I just had to give it a 10--I may be biased, but it was well deserved. To the credit of a great Director of Photography, Bill Johns, exceptional writer/producer, Bruce Pattison, and a talented producer, actors and crew, I must express that this film was great until the sound was lost, and all of it had to be duplicated in a studio.

Personally I felt Chloe Hopson acted her ass off and if not for her being directed stronger in the path dancing and teaching, would be an Oscar-award winning actress right now. There are a host of other comments I could make, but I'll just say this..............Look out for the sequel, "ENEMY 2: The Second Race War: 10 years later". A BIGGER budget, BIGGER overall!! Coming 2006.
