Belly (DVD, 2004)

The movie up for review is Belly. It involves fast money, and violence. Director Hype Williams did a spectacular job with the camera work. I especially like the scenes at Bun's (DMX) House. Every room in Buns house has a different colored neon lighting scheme. The kitchen is yellow, the living room red, the bed room blue. It makes the schenes more intense. The story line is good, it's about two friends who smuggle drugs from New York to Omaha Nebraska, and all of the drama that comes with it. Pretty much everyone did a good job at acting exept for Nas and T-Boz from TLC. They seem like they haven't had much experience at acting, and don't display believable emotion in their acting schenes. Method Man plays a urban hitman, does a excellent job. Crucial Conflict has a good scene inside a bar in Nebraska, a shoot em up scene. This movie is a must see, and if you shop smart you can get the Limited Edition (2004) DVD that includes the Bonus Movie Soundtrack on CD. Not a big eastcoast rap fan, but it still is some good music. The overall point Im trying to make is, Watch This Movie, and if you ever talk to Nas, tell him to stick to rapping, because he can't act if his life depended on it!
