Top review. Surreal and wild This film was the opening gala for the Edinburgh Film Festival and definitely deserved the accolade.
Quirky and experimental it has many laugh out loud moments in a truly original spin on the old story of city boys surviving in the wild. The director and writer Ninian Doff has a rare original talent and is definitely someone to watch. You can see his music video influences throughout the film giving it a fresh and pacey vibe. A very talented British cast make the most of the heddy mix of horror and outrageous comedy with Kate Dickie and James Cosmo standouts along with the 4 newcomers playing the boys.
Surreal and wild this film has an energy that will make you feel you are on a drug induced high. Highly recommended. Details Edit. Release date August 28, United States. United Kingdom.

Writer and Director John Singleton's portrayal of social problems in inner-city Los Angeles, California takes the form of a tale of three friends growing up together in the "hood". Half-brothers Doughboy Ice Cube and Ricky Baker Morris Chestnut are foils for each other's personality, presenting very different approaches to the tough lives they face.
Ricky is the "All-American" athlete, looking to win a football scholarship to USC and seeks salvation through sports, while Doughboy succumbs to the violence, alcohol, and crime surrounding him in his environment, but maintains a strong sense of pride and code of honor. Once upon a time in South Central L. It ain't no fairy tale.
Rated R for language, violence and sensuality. Did you know Edit. Trivia To maintain a sense of realism, writer and director John Singleton never warned the actors and actresses about when shots would be fired.

Soundtracks Jam on It Written by M. User reviews Review. Top review. Tough and unflinching. A movie that takes place in South Central Los Angeles in I don't know about now but, at that time, that area was crime ridden with drug deals and murders happening almost daily. It also deals with two friends of Tre--Darin Ice Cube an angry young black man and his brother Ricky Morris Chestnut who wants to go to college.
It all leads up to a truly harrowing ending. Director John Singleton's first movie is incredibly powerful and still his best movie so far. From what I've heard he captured exactly what it was like to grow up in that area. It's a little dated though--the guy sucking on the pacifier confuses some people but that was a big fad back in It's just unbelievable that kids grew up in an area like that and survived.
The story itself is a little too simplistic the good and bad brothers and it's basically just the story of a teenager coming of age--but it still works. Singleton wisely doesn't accuse anyone of how the situation is and offers no solutions.
He just presents it in a matter of fact way which makes this all the more powerful. The acting is just great. Fishburne and Gooding play a father and son perfectly. Fishburne is just incredible--Gooding falters a few times and it's obvious that he's no teenager but he's still very good.
Ice Cube is a little one note in his character always angry and sullen but it fits. Chestnut is just great. People should be warned--there's tons of profanity but that is how kids talk and the ending gets very bloody and disturbing.
I still remember people crying out loud in the audience back in A powerful film and well worth seeing. Details Edit. Release date July 12, United States. United States.
