That was an excellent one.

... View MoreSo this movie came on TV last night and I decided to watch it. I have seen this movie before and I can say that I was reminded again of how good this movie was when I finished watching it. I thought it was amazing and the acting was great, as well as the music and the story that was told. However, I wish it was longer so we could see the outcome of what happened to the last 3 girls left and as well as Macy Gray's character. The storyline is not hard to understand, but I wish more was included. I would have liked to know who was the woman that got shot while the girls were robbing the bank, as well as some other things in the film. I was excited when I found out that it would be a part 2, but my excitement was short lived. I say this because the sequel has NONE of the original characters and it's not going to start from where it left off. I was hungering for more so I could see what happened, now I won't even get it since the 2nd one will be nothing like the first. Overall, Gang of Roses was a great film, I just wish the sequel would have included the original characters and storyline.
... View MoreThe Gang of Roses. "Every rose has its thorns."A mix of old western and hip hop, blended perfectly together. The clothing styles, the scenery, and the plot are all suited to what the director wanted. Plot - in five years, they robbed twenty-seven banks and then vanished without a trace. Now, a small western town is under siege, and one of the first victims is Rachel's sister. The Rose Gang is ready to ride again. And this time it's personal.Rachel (Michael Calhoun), Chastity (Lil' Kim), Maria (Lisaraye), Zang Li (Marie Matiko) and Kim (Stacey Dash), five gunslinging women who split up after five years of riding together. When Rachel's sister is killed, she ends up rounding up her friends once again and riding on a trail of vengeance. A good, muck around version of western. (If you've seen Bad Girls, well this is a little bit better in the ways of the female characters).I gave it 10/10 because the characters, plot and scenery made it for me.

What would Randolph Scott say? If he saw Lil' Kim, he might say, "Alright! I have to admit that I tuned into this just to see her. Bare midriffs and low cut blouses are not the staple of the usual cowboy flick, but these are the cowgirls, and they are fine.Now, don't go looking for any major story here, and the usual stuff of ghetto crime drama are here in a different setting. And, when's the last time you heard John Wayne call someone, "Dawg"? And, I don't remember the Earp brothers hugging and kissing before they marched to the OK Corral.I watch this on BET, so I missed the action that got it an R rating, but I doubt if I will buy the DVD to see it unless I can be assured it was Lil' Kim in that action.
... View MoreI would have liked to give this movie a zero but that wasn't an option!! This movie sucks!!! The women cannot act. i should have known it was gonna suck when i saw Bobby Brown. Nobody in my house could believe i hadn't changed the channel after the first 15 minutes. the idea of black females as gunslingers in the western days is ridiculous. it's not just a race thing, it's also a gender. the combination of the two things is ridiculous.i am sorry because some of the people in the movie aren't bad actors/actresses but the movie itself was awful. it was not credible as a movie. it might be 'entertaining' to a certain group of people but i am not in that group. lol. and using a great line from a great, great movie..."that's all I have to say about that."
