As Good As It Gets

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

As long as the kiddos are sleep, this is a great movie to watch at the comfort of your own home with the fellas. The wife may not like it depending on her upbringing, but for those who love hood movies, this is top of the line. There are not too many gangster movies that allow you to see the film characters grow up and live & die together since Boyz N Da Hood. That's what makes this an instant classic. You become attached because you've seen what they were and the transition to who they become. It has its funny moments like any other movie, but they stick to keeping it gritty and on point. I've had to watch this movie over and over like "Baby Boy" because I can't get enough of the story line. Roll up a nice one and enjoy. This is a must have for any man cave.Just don't get any ideas of doing what they did because it has the power of wrongfully influencing people with it's strong character play.

Some one told me a while back that I should check this movie out. I do not really like low cost films so I declined. One Sunday (after hearing how good it was from so many people)I was at the video store and decided to pick it up just to give it a try. I enjoyed it very much. You could tell it was a low budget film but the story line was pretty good. I enjoyed the work of the young actors. The older actors were not half bad either. With a little more funding and a few corrections to the script this really could have done well on the big screen. If you rent it watch it early because there is a good chance that you may want to watch it again.It had me waiting and guessing whats next. Growing up were I grew up this film was true to life for me. I ended up buying a copy. It is a great add to the DVD collection. If you are from the hood you will love this movie. CHECK IT OUT!!!!

"Blue Hill Avenue" is the story of the rise of Tristan (Payne) from ghetto kid to drug kingpin. An attempt to show the how a kid can be strung out on money while his turf gets strung out on narcotics makes this flick old news. Production value, cast, and camera are low end but acceptable. Where this film really fails is in the script/story. For example...a girl doesn't want anything to do with Tristan because he's a "dealer" but changes her mind when he gives her some cheesy bling. "Blue Hill Avenue" is an old story, offers nothing new, reeks of indiness, runs too long (at 2 hrs), and has characters who look like they stepped right out of a....well, a bad movie. (C+)

Absolute Dogsh!t.... dont waste your time or money on this unbelievable crap...unless of course you have the mentality of a potato.I love Clarence Williams III and it really hurts me to see him in crap like this. Same goes for William Forsythe for that matter, although he doesn't rate anywhere near C.W.III, he at one time showed promise.Go out & re-rent New Jack City, The King of New York, or Scarface so at least you can see this same story being told with style and believability.
