Its A Nigga Rich Production!!!




lol, Dont blame me. That's Kevin Smith idea (you have to see the movie to understand that joke). Who else but Kevin Smith can take something so...well I wouldnt say perverted but I guess some up tight women would...and turn it to a love story. I didnt think Kevin could out do "Clerks 2" but I was wrong, this was dead on funny. I couldnt stop laughing after the opening credits started. The film stars Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks as the title characters who are in desperate need of money, so decide to make a low-budget pornographic film.

Now, you would of expect this from Judd Apatow or John Waters or Trey Parker/Matt Stone...so why couldnt we expect this from Silent Bob himself? The film was on point funny of course from the great writing/directing of Kevin Smith. The cast did great (including the porn star (cant recall her name)doing her first feature film (no not Jenna Jameson, she did the movie "Zombie Strippers", which I didnt see yet). I wish kevin could of had a cameo or something but the film was great the way it is. I dont know why the MPAA was acting like a ****head when they was trying to put this film out. I seen dudes get thier bulls cut off and thrown at dogs (Hostel 2), so what if we wanna see Jason Mewe (the guy who plays "Jay" in the "Jay and Silent Bob" movies)walk around with his balls out. I dont know if I can say this is a movie you can take your girlfriend to (unless she liked "Knocked Up", "Super Bad", "40 Year Old Virgin and "Forgetting Sarah Marshell" (all Judd has produced) then it wouldnt be a problem) but this is a film you couldnt definatly watch for a good laugh. I give it a 9 out of 10...the ending...I dont know...it needed something...like...how much money did they make off the porn and bla bla bla...kevin smith...call me, we need to talk about the ending (unless its on the dvd...in that case, I can wait).

UpDate:
The Adult Film Star that was in the film name is Katie Morgan

What Make Rappers Turn Into Actors?

It Seems To Me, That Every Rapper Is Trying To cross over From Music To Movies. I remember my first movie I ever seen with rappers. Dre and Ed Lover's "Who's The Man". Great film, long before hip hop took over urban films and most of them made sense. There are a few good hip hop movies and a couple of rap stars that could act. Belly, Get Rich or Die Trying, Boyz In The Hood, etc. 50 cent(well, he was good in "Get Rich..." & "Before I Self Destruct" (in the clips I seen). His scenes in "Home Of The Brave" were to short so I couldnt see his acting skiils and "Righteous Kill", I didnt feel his acting skill...thats what you get for watching bootlegs..)Snoop Dogg (love him in all his films), David Banner (He's not bad), Beanine Segal, Damon Dash, Ludacris (he's doing his thing..well I didnt really like him in Max Payne (but that movie wasnt that great anyway), Q Tip, T.I, Ice Cube (his early films), LL Cool J, Nas and DMX, Nelly (only In "The Longest Yard") Big Boi (only in "Who's Your Caddy", "ATL" and "Idlewild"), Andre 300 (all his films), Common is doing a great job, I only seen Ja Rule in a few films...he's okay but I seen worse but I would work with him...Ice T was great during his "New Jack City" days but now he just trying a lil to hard to seem tough (Look at Leperchaun In The Hood), Bow Wow..Yeah..convincing in his acting, Lil Romeo...another not bad...and I cant forget bout WILL SMITH...plus there are the R&B Singers like Tyrese, Omarion, Marques Houston, Chris Brown, they all can act but WHY DO EVERYONE ELSE THINK THEY CAN TO? Rick Ross got a movie coming out (it's called "Days Of Wrath", havent seen his acting skills yet) The Game (I only liked him in Waist Deep), Lil Wayne is working on a few films coming out (let see how well he can do it) and there's rappers in my hood asking me to get them in a few film projects. My point is, not all rappers can act. Some may have a future career in film but many dont. Let me give a few examples.





Now, I only saw a lil bit of the film. I guess maybe an hour late into it. The story tells of what could of happened if Bone, Thugs and Harmoney never met Easy E and never blew up as rap stars. It was not a bad idea, the story worked out but acting wise, it wasnt all to great but you can see they really tried hard and wanted to do the best they can with thier acting skills. The film, I give it a 6 out of 10.



Yo, Everyone in this film needed Anger Management. Everyone got mad about everything. Every scene Mike Jones or his boys or his homie or who ever he was with got angry. Acting hard every minute. Mike Jones may have a career in acting, and so does the girl who played his girl friend and his grandmother and of course the professinal actors in the film knew what they was doing but them other guys need to put it to rest.




Now, I like Master P. As a business man and a rapper..and he's not to bad as an actor as well. I like a few of his films (hated "Uncle P" tho). I had a chance to buy a film he did called "The Last Don" but I didnt buy it to buy something else so when I saw it again at a video store for just $3, I took the chance to finally see it. The film is about a man who takes over his father "mafia family" after he is murdered. Alot of questions was not answered in the film..like how was his father Italian and he is black? (His pops could of have Jungle Fever, who knows), while was so much scenes in a strip club when doing business, why was it so short (40 mins), what excatly was the story line?!?! The film pulled a "Killa Season" (camron's film), it started with a story and then vaporated into nothing, just a whole bunch of scenes they thought would be cool to put together. Now, Im not gonna hate on Master P. He's doing his thing but hey, not everything you do can be gold.

So In the end, I have one thing for rappers..if no one wants to cast you for a movie, dont turn around to make your own. Take A Hint. They only put ya'll in the film to sell tickets.
