So as some of you may or may not know I am the manager of a small library. In the last couple of years the system has started carrying 'entertainment' dvds for patrons to check out. Anyway, this morning I was minding my own business when my coworker, Roni, shows me Ghetto Stories: The Movie. I reply "No" because I don't usually participate in such fuckery. But for entertainment purposes I read the synopsis trying to give the movie the benefit of the doubt.
In the streets of Baton Rouge, there are only two sides of the track. In the midst of a street war of South vs. North, Marcus Hatch (Lil' Boosie) and Jai 'Savage' Carter (Webbie) find themselves as rival drug dealers struggling to make ends meet. With the streets at war, someone must suffer the consequences. This movie centers on the personal challenges, setbacks, and dilemmas of street life.
Keep an eye peeled for Nicole (Hoopz) Alexander, who plays Slimm's (Tyrin Turner better know as Cain from Menace II Society) love interest and medical student, rap stars Bun B and Paul Wall also appear in supporting roles, as well as cameos by Trill Entertainment's own Foxx, Lil' Phat, Lil' Trill, and Big Head.
Despite the stellar, star-studded cast - I don't think this is the type of movie I can watch without the aid of alcohol (perferably, a grande margarita from Las Palmas) and even then I'm sure it will fall under the unintended category of comedy.
My thoughts were confirmed when my other co-worker, Jeff summed the movie up with this powerful quote "It's not something you will beat yourself up over if you watch it just once, but if you watch it more than once you have a problem."
