Movie Review: I Got The Hook Up DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
Good movie for those of you that loved Master P and the No Limit Records Recording label in the late 90'sMovie Review: My Biggest "Guilty Pleasure" Movie
Summary: 3 Stars
Let me make something clear: I Got the Hook-Up is a horrible movie. It's low budget, not shot well, the writing is terrible, and the acting is downright awful. But despite all that, I've probably watched this movie dozens of times.
For better or worse, Master P is the man personally responsible for making urban straight-to-video movies a cash machine. Comedy, nudity, a hot soundtrack, and the legally-required role for Tiny "Deebo" Lister always makes for a decent rental on a slow day.
What really makes this movie watchable is comedian A.J. Johnson, who played the crackhead Ezal in Friday. P obviously gave him complete creative freedom in improvising his dialogue, and he steals every scene that he's in.
I can easily see why most people would give this movie a one-star review, but for some reason I enjoy it, and it's part of my DVD collection. Why I love this movie will always remain a mystery, like how women can't put on Mascara with their mouth closed. If dumbed-down comedies are a guilty pleasure for you, check this movie out at least once.
Movie Review: This is almost as bad as Manos: the Hands of Fate
Summary: 1 Stars
There are bad movies and then there are really bad movies. This is one of the latter. I'm not picky when it comes to movies. No plot; fine they just get in the way. Horrible acting; great, I could die happy if I never saw another big name actor deliver an Oscar worthy performance. The plot to "I Got the Hook Up" is actually quiet simple. Two hustlers who run a fencing operation go into the cell phreaking business, only to piss off all the wrong people in the process. Despite the simple premise however, the movie quickly turns into an incoherent series of scenes, which present a story only in theory. I actually wonder if the idea was to film a bunch of random scenes, glue them together, and hope for the best. This is supposed to be a comedy, but there are only a few scenes that are even remotely humerous. There isn't much unintentional humor either.
Whoever pronounced Ed Wood Jr. the worst director ever, has obviously never heard of Michael Martin. Seriously, I've seen Asian films without any dubbing, or subtitles that make more sense than this. Hell, even the Italians circa 1975, made horror movies that were more coherent than this pile of garbage. Do yourself a favor and find some nice paint to watch dry, and stay away from this one.
Movie Review: Watch Senseless, Don't Be a menace to..., Friday instead
Summary: 1 Stars
This is not a funny movie... Now I've seen thousands of comedies and is a big fan of africanamerican flicks and I Know what I'm bout...This is nuthin like "Friday" or the next, "Dont be a menace to South Central", "High School" High or even "Trippin".
AJ Johnson is a really annoying guy, but he's simply a Chris Tucker,Chris Rock wannabe who's not funny at all.
And Master P has got to be the worst rapper to turn actor, yes people even Coolio has shown better acting skills.
DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME, IF U WANNA WATCH "THE NO LIMIT FAMILY" BUY "THE HOT BOYZ" INSTEAD
