You know, when I watched Crossroads, I was likethis is kind of like Poetic Justice except the acting is not as good lol
Maybe its just a coincidence but remember when Lucy (Britney) is writing poetry in her book? And the guy goes "What are you writing?" and Lucy goes "Stuff," Thats pretty much the same exact dialogue in Poetic Justice with Justice and Lucky in the truck except it was much more bitter. I think there was another similar line but I've only watched Crossroads once so I dont rememberwhere as I've seen Poetic Justice a million times I know it like the back of my hand lol -

Keep in mind that Spike Lee had released Malcolm X a year earlier, so he probably just wanted to go in a different direction all together. Even though this film dragged in the middle at times, I thought it was a commendable effort, and as stated earlier, I thought J.J. and Tupac handled the roles well.

The story was ok. I think it could've been developed a little bit more. But I thought the acting between the 4 main characters was so intense and very believable. Especially the scenes between Joe Torry and Regina King, they were amazing.

I don't think he was asking who Mr. Singleton is, I think he was saying he's no Spielberg or Scorsese.
Despite this movie{I like it} and 'Boy's In The Hood' all of his other films are commercial movies.
4 Brothers was entertaining {I liked the snow chase scene}; it was like a throwback to westerns film.I have to edit my post he did 'Rosewood'; also he's doing a Luke Cage movie; sure it will be a comercial film but it could be cool. SWeeeeet CHristmas!!!
That resume is pretty good.
