A mockumentary chronicling the rise and fall of a not particularly talented--or particularly bright but always controversial - 1990s hip-hop group NWH (Niggaz with Hats). Filmmaker Nina Blackburn follows the three members of the group - Ice Cold Tasty Taste and Tone Def - as they explain their philosophy and reminisce about their many experiences -- which include run-ins with right-wing zealots battles with rival rappers and the manipulations of greedy groupies.
A rockumentary, covering the rise to fame of MC Gusto, Stab Master Arson, and Dead Mike: members of the rap group "CB4"
Sleepy-eyed hip-hop luminary Snoop Dogg stars in Bones, an energetic horror film about a hustler who returns from the dead. Jimmy Bones used to rule his street, but now his body lies in the basement of a gothic abandoned house. When a troupe of young DJs and promoters decide to turn the house into a nightclub, dark forces are, unsurprisingly, unleashed. Bones has a cutting sense of humour, and Ernest Dickerson's direction snaps, crackles and pops. It's not exactly subtle--the opening scene launches into gore and special effects--but there is some evocative imagery, particularly a large black hell-hound that the club kids foolishly adopt as a pet. Snoop casts an effectively spectral aura and Pam Grier, as the hustler's psychically gifted former girlfriend, has her usual presence and energy. All in all, a dynamic and enjoyable horror flick. --Bret Fetzer, Amazon.com
