House Party(1990)

dir. Reginald Hudlin

S-Tier Criterion 4K for the 35th anniversary. The announcement caused a minor riot because everyone was expecting Eyes Wide Shut instead. People want the cover to pull from 90s graphic design rather than something refined and contemporary. The original Blu-ray was a MOD release that was really hard to find in stores.

Baby Boy(2001)

6.5/10

dir. John Singleton

The story of Jody, a misguided, 20-year-old African-American who is really just a baby boy finally forced-kicking and screaming to face the commitments of real life. Streetwise and jobless, he has not only fathered two children by two different women-Yvette and Peanut but still lives with his own mother. He can't seem to strike a balance or find direction in his chaotic life.
