Hip hop loves movies, not only do you have groups like Wu-Tang having their styles influenced by kung fu flicks, but you've got rappers like Will Smith, Ice Cube, and LL Cool J developing full fledge movie careers. But even if Common or T.I. isn't making an appearance in the movie, HipHopDX will still be there to tell you whether or not to spend your hard earned money on it or just cop the 30 new Lil' Wayne mixtapes that just dropped.

The internet buzz surrounding this movie was sick like bird flu. But now that all the comic book geeks and movie hounds have finally cooled off about Robert Downey Jr. getting the title role and what the fabled suit should look like, we can get to Iron Man’s most pressing business: How does Ghostface Killah do in the movie? Umm, sorry, folks, but the Wu Gambino’s cameo was axed due to “pacing” concerns. Yeah, we know, we know. That sucks.

He’s the cop that enters a house with a rock to the window instead of a knock to the door. But Captain Jack Wander (the ever-sharp Forest Whitaker) needs a guy like that on his team. There’s so much corruption and disruption in his unit he could probably use some Febreeze to ease the stench of crap his men seem to stay |

From films like Rounders and the Ocean’s Eleven series to TV’s "Las Vegas" and endless "World Series of Poker" broadcasts, the allure of high stakes gambling has been exploited to the fullest in recent years, but bombs like Lucky You prove that audiences may be growing weary of the Texas Hold ‘Em craze. In this ode to the joys of blackjack, director Robert Luketic (Legally Blond, Monster-In-Law) does a fine job of capturing the glitz and glamour of Sin City, using so many flashy camera angles and slo-mo shots that the film occasionally borders on gambler porn. But his loose adaptation of the book "Bringing Down the House" is far from perfect. The mostly true story follows a team |
