Boyz N The Hood Directed by: John Singleton Country: USA Year: 1991 Running time: 107 minutes Starring: Laurence Fishburne and Cuba Gooding Jr.
"I watched the news this morning. Either they don't know, don't show, or don't care about what's going on in the hood. They had all this foreign sh-t. They didn't have sh-t on my brother, man."
The mother of Tre Styles (Cuba Gooding Jr.) decides to send her son to live with his father, Furious Styles (Laurence Fishburne), after he gets into a fight at school. Furious, who lives in the heart of South Central LA, is a man that knows the values of how to respect and how to earn it. He's strict, but he's fair. Furious works as a mortgage broker.
We watch Tre mature from a young boy to his senior year in high school taking the SAT's. His two best friends are brothers. Ricky (Morris Chestnut) is a great athlete and is getting into college to support his girlfriend and infant son. The other brother, Doughboy (Ice Cube), is headed down a totally opposite path of guns, drugs, gangs, and violence. He's in and out of prison each year.
Furious knows that his son could get killed easily, as he was once involved with the gang scene himself. He wants Tre to graduate college and be good in whatever his profession may be.
As the story goes more in depth, we see that even if you aren't involved in a gang, you could still be a target. Whether it's your brother, cousin, sister, or other family member that is thee one involved with the violence, the main target could be the person in the family who stays away from the dangers of the street.
Tre and his friends are in a world where being violent is sometimes the way to live. Helicopters are heard searching for murderers every night. The police are so busy, that sometimes a 9-1-1 call could mean waiting for the police to arrive. There is even one Black-cop, who uses his power to try and intimidate young Blacks who he thinks might be involved in the gangs and violence.
This is the ultimate ghetto film, which will never be topped. All of the direction and screenplay is brilliant. Singleton doesn't use cheap scenes that get the viewer off-topic and the audience, as a whole, is always into the movie. Come into a world that most of us haven't been in. Follow the life of one boy who turns into a man as he has to not only goes through personal struggles, but has to worry about whether he'll be killed at any moment. -Pat

Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (2004/Marshall Thurber)
As I went to see this tonight, the first thought that came to my mind was, "What could I have done with the 8 dollars I am about to waste?" After the movie, I was pretty happy I had seen it. It's one of those movies that you have to laugh at just because the idea is so bizarre.
The story is about a man named Peter La Fleur (Vince Vaughn), who owns a beat down gym right across the street from one of the best gyms in the US, which is run by White Goodman (Ben Stiller). When Peter finds out that he must earn $50,000 to keep control of his gym from Goodman, he organizes a bunch of his friends to think of an idea to get the money.
After thinking about it, they find an ad to win the money in a dodgeball tournament in Las Vegas. When Goodman finds out about this, he organizes his own team of built and strong players to compete. Which team will come out on top?
I actually learned a lot more about dodgeball from this film too. It actually is a pretty interesting sport. This is probably the best comedy to come out since 'Bad Santa' in 2003.
This was a surprisingly funny movie about a surprisingly interesting topic. -Pat
