The black movies that come out seem to be traditionally comedy. These movies, of course, have the natural tendency to make you crack up and laugh. Well in late October, this entire idea would be changed. Producers finally decided to add some black chocolate into a horror movie. The star of the movie is the well-known rapper Snoop Dogg. And this is no laughing matter. With Snoop in this movie, the chemistry for success has been set. Snoop Dogg plays Jimmy Bones, “Black as night and hard as stone, gold plated deuce like the king of Siam, got a switchblade loose and a diamond on his hand.” The year is 1978 and Jimmy Bones is an entrepreneur, better known as the neighborhood drug dealer. He provides money for the poor and shelter for the homeless. He has a mansion for a house and a real sweet ride. His lady’s name is Pearl (Pam Grier) and is his number one girl. His best boys are Shotgun (Ronald Selmour) and Jeremiah (Clifton Powell).

They are all close peeps, but when Jimmy Bones’ cocaine selling goes awry, he is betrayed by his close friends. They all take part in the murder of Bones.

After Bones is murdered in his luxury home, years would pass before someone would come around again. Fast forward into the future, to Bones’s old friend Jeremiah, who has two sons. Patrick is the hard-headed son, dramatically played by Kahlil Kain. Bill is the calm ,cool and smooth headed brother done up comical style by Merwin Mandesir and the naive step daughter is taken on by Katharine Isabelle. Now once Jeremiah’s son begins to invest in a club he later on discovers the old abandoned house Bones once dwelled in. He and his siblings begin to make a plan to turn the house into a night-club but a series of neighbors warns them against it. Shotgun, Pearl and her daughter Cynthia (Bianca Lawson) who plays a captivating seductive role, aggressively warn Patrick and his siblings. They don’t listen even after a series of strange incidents take place.

Patrick opens the club not knowing that the presence of the crowd would awaken Jimmy Bones and he would return for revenge on his betrayers.

Bones is a great movie! Snoop adds a lil’ ghetto flava’ here and there with his sly cunning personality. Bianca Lawson puts some romance in the movie and Pam Grier adds most of the suspense with her strange visions. This movie is tight but the obvious fake blood gets two thumbs down. Other than that, it’s worth seeing.
