An Assignment (2003)
Overall a pretty good story
I caught this one the other night on Showtime's Filmmaker's Showcase. Nice short film with a strong cast that's only held back by the lack of chemistry between the two leads. (especially the staleness of the female lead) Overall a pretty good story. 7/10
Boyz n the Hood (1991)
A touching and emotional film
John Singleton's "Boyz In The Hood" ranks on my list as one of the greatest films to come out of the 90s. It transcends the category of being an urban or "black" film but simply a touching and emotional film. From the beginning of the film, we become enriched in the lives the characters and feel a certain connection with them that only the most talented of filmmakers can do. I've always admired Singleton's gift for his ability to have his characters tap into the soul of the audience. It gives us a different view of the character and opens for it a different dimension that would have been shut off by a less talented filmmaker. Bravo!!! 10/10
