And some of the observations on the social commentary come off to me as completely tone-deaf, which is actually not very surprising. As far as the on-the-nose quality, that's just a fact that the times have far out-stripped anything that anyone could come up with - maybe in another 10-15 years when we're past this era, there can maybe be some solid examination. Actually, this probably would've been better if some cable network with money to spend had sprung for a TALES FROM THE HOOD series... <br /><br />When the first movie came out, there wasn't all this love that it now has; it built up over time, like THE THING and most stuff that ends up with a devoted audience. So it seems that history DOES repeat itself.L.

At all! The first segment does but is incredibly hamfisted and frankly just confusing. I agree that the last is the closest resembling anything like the first movie, but I burst out laughing at your description of it as "Emmett Till wants to kill your baby". This movie is the poopity-pop.<br /><br />From a review:<br />"I never saw Tales from the Hood, but if Tales from the Hood 2 is any indication, I must go back and watch it posthaste — though I wonder if the racial climate of 1995 could have inspired as much righteous anger and caustic satire in writer-directors Rusty Cundieff and Darin Scott as today’s does."<br /><br />I don't even know where to begin with that statement.Marcus Killerbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11459322972120766474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-42248344468366674962018-10-04T08:45:19.307-05:002018-10-04T08:45:19.307-05:00It's a good name.
