Boricua's Bond (2000)
Gritty, Beautiful, and most of all REAL
Last year while I was over my Uncle's house for Thanksgiving I found this movie on the TV. I have to say that it touched me and sucked me into it immediately after watching a few seconds of it. I can't deny half of it had to deal with that I'm attracted to Frankie Negron but it was a all-around good movie. I enjoyed seeing my fellow PRs depicted as people. Not as gang-bangers or whatever others like to see us as. Yet what I really appreciated about this movie was that they didn't try to "clean" them up; they showed that even if you grow up in a bad environment that dosen't mean that you don't have any morals or standards. Frankie Negron showed through his character that beauty can grow from concrete. The immense talent and sacrifice that his character endured depicted this. Showing that he befriended someone different from the rest of the neighborhood kids was a great example of acceptance. All around a good movie that touched me. I give it and 7.5 out of 10.
Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood (1996)
If you hood you'll get this movie other than that just see the moive for the "incredible journey" it brings you on...
Wow is all that can describe this movie. It's a paradoy so people got to give it props for what the movie is and how well the Marlon Waynes did in creating the moive. It's not the greatest movie in the world but it'll do. In this movie there are alot of inside jokes and hilarous one liners and little scences that let you understand the humor in living in the hood. If you don't get it then you don't want to. Alot of people may not like this moive because they think that it reinforces negative sterotypes but I think that it pokes fun at the seriousness of the "politicaly correct" society. In it's own way this moive teaches young people some valuable lessons. Or maybe I'm just crazy. I just enjoyed it I don't see anything wrong in that. Let's put it like this; the movie wasn't created to be an Acadamey Award Winner it was created to be a Hood Academy Award Winner. Just have fun with it!
