The U.Ks answer to the Friday franchise
Meet Kenneth, a deluded wannabe MC who quits his supermarket job to pursue a career in rap. Not the sharpest of people, kay (Kenneth), his boys and newcomer Enrique smoke, chill and stumble through life, until kay see's big Mike, the local kingpin making it big, and decides he wants more in life, with his parents struggling to pay bills, locals becoming a nuisance and Tyrone, one of big Mike's lower level goons, who torments everyone and considers himself a ladies man, who kay ends up on the wrong side of.

This is a great British coming of age gangsta wannabe movie features some brilliant acting, great characters and light hearted tone, recommend a watch.

Album Favorite

"Niggaz4Life is just… both the De La Soul albums had a cinematic quality to them, you can see those songs. With that being said, [on this album] Dr Dre had this sonic brilliance and pristine gangster music that just sounded brilliant. And it was orchestrated and sequenced very brilliantly, too. It seems like an awful lot of thought went into it. To me, it wasn't Gangsta with an 'a', it was Gangster with an 'er' - with a suit and tie. This is the business gangster; this isn't hold your gun sideways, this is Scorcese. Ice Cube not being there for this album was part of the appeal; everyone wanted to know what they'd be able to achieve without him. And it's a triumph."

Rolling Stone's 500th greatest album of all time
Return of the G was a little more hip hop than I was expecting but decent.
Rosa Parks is a little better, more foot-tappy with an odd little country breakdown. The song, not the historical figure.
Annoying little skits in between songs.
Skew it on the Bar-B has a great beat and a better tempo.
Aquemini is a soulful little groove, with an interesting subtle change in mood halfway through.
Synthesizer starts as a basic hi-hat and snare tune and builds up with many layers of vocals and synth and piano.
I'm going to have to stop track by track reviews now, need to get some work done.
Except: Liberation (feat CeeLo Green) is an absolute treat.
Great album, a few tracks a little more gangsta than I like but some excellent soulful songs.

Definitely not one of the best of the series. The science plot twist was a bit of a surprise, but the "who is this guy?" was telegraphed (for me, at least) pretty early on. I'm fairly tired of the on again, off again love thing with Ryan, but the depiction of Brennan's relationship with her young adult daughter is very accurate to this mother of a 20-year-old. Bringing in the "gangsta" angle seemed ridiculous to me, but I suppose there had to be some immediate danger somewhere to keep the publisher interested.

I still enjoy the television show <i>Bones</i> far more than the novels, which is unusual - but the show has more humor. I don't think I'd read novelizations based on the show, however, because a lot of the humor requires the chemistry between the actors as well as good scriptwriting. There are few authors who can translate that from screen to text.
