Movie Reviews of Bluehill Avenue
Movie Review: Great URBAN DRAMA!!!!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
Allen Payne made this movie. This is one of the best urban movies I've seen in a really long time. I really expected this to be another "New Jack City" for Allen Payne, or just another typical gangster movie, but I'm so glad that I was wrong. To keep it short, this movie was awesome.Movie Review: Definitely worth seeing
Summary: 4 Stars
Blue Hill Avenue is the story of 4 friends growing up in Roxbury (Boston). They start with peddling marijuana in high school, and end up as hard core crack dealers. Tristan (played by Allen Payne) is the star of the movie and the leader of the gang. Throughout the movie, Tristan's family confronts him his dealing. During a particularly painful family incident, Tristan's father approaches Tristan and asks how could he end up a dealer when he came from such a good famliy. Tristan is at a loss for an explanation, and responds to his dad, "Because I'm good at it".
The film includes lots of action, perhaps a bit more violence than was really necessary for the story line. Blue Hill Avenue dares to show how a young man from a decent upbringing can get caught up in the wrong crowd, and how it impacts an otherwise decent family. Towards the end of the movie, Tristan acknowledges that his friends will be the end of him.
Blue Hill Avenue was actually filmed in Canada, in Saint John, New Brunswick. I live in Boston and was impressed how much the location passed for Boston, a good choice on the producer's part.
Movie Review: WHAT WE ALL DO IN THE NAME OF FRIENDSHIP.....
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all Allen Payne, is FINE, and he's at the lead of this great ensemble of actors! Ya feel me!Secondly, from the beginning I truly loved this story.
4 African American boys go from being ghetto superstars to ghetto legends!
This interpertation goes from Tristan's eyes in his account it begins at the end of the saga and shows you how the 4some elevated themselves to this level. The plot is filled with attention-grabbing twists.
In life regardless as to which road you choose if you fail to plan, then you've already planned to fail.
Cop this flick
Movie Review: THE BEST GANGSTA MOVIE I'VE SEEN IN YEARS
Summary: 4 Stars
FOUR FRIENDS BEGIN DEALING DRUGS IN ROXBURY, BOSTON. NEVER HAS A DIRECT TO VIDEO GANGSTA MOVIE BEEN THIS GOOD. THIS MOVIE DEFINITELY PROVES THAT ALLEN PAYNE CAN MAKE A GOOD LEADING ACTOR IN A MOVIE AND IT ALSO PROVES THAT ALLEN PAYNE IS ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED BLACK ACTORS IN HOLLYWOOD TODAY! THIS MOVIE HAS GOOD PERFORMANCES FROM EVERYONE INVOLVED. THE PLOT TWISTS ARE VERY CLEVER. IF YOU JUST LIKE THOSE GANGSTA MOVIES THAT HAVE RAPPERS IN IT, DON'T PICK THIS ONE UP. THERE ARE NO RAPPERS IN THIS MOVIE! BUT IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR ONE OF THE FEW GANGSTA MOVIES THAT ACTUALLY HAS AN INTELLIGENT PLOT TO IT, RENT OR BUY THIS MOVIE NOW! THIS MOVIE KILLS 90 PERCENT OF THE MOVIES THAT WENT TO THEATERS LAST YEAR!Movie Review: Allen Avenue!!!!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
That is actually what this film was ALLEN AVENUE, it was so good from start to finish I could not got to the restroom without nearly pissing on myself trying to get back to see what was next. I love black indy films that leave you with a smile after it's done, and this film does just that. Allen Payne is a very underrated black actor that deserves far more credit than he gets. The screenplay is awesome, I say this is the black film of the year, point blank. Get it... it's worth it!!!
