Bones
Directed by Ernest Dickerson
In Ernest Dickerson's nod to Blaxploitation horror, young entreprenuers ignore the warnings of a local clairvoyant and proceed to open a nightclub in a decrepit building on the wrong side of the tracks. There, they run afoul of the ghost of Jimmy Bones (Snoop Dogg), who has returned more than 20 years after his death to seek revenge against those who killed him and to clean up his old neighborhood.
The ghost of Jimmy Bones has returned to clean up the neighborhood.
Cast: Snoop Dogg, Pam Grier, Michael T. Weiss

Not a so bad it's good movie, more like so bad it's OK. Worth it to watch Snoop cheese it up and Pam Grier does an OK job with what there is. If you're in the mood for a vampire that dresses like a 70's pimp this is the one for you. There's some funny dialog to keep it interesting.
What's not to love?
the movie bones, is a Corny horror film.
I avoided this movie when it came out. it really felt like a gimmick "starring top recording artist" type thing. Here we are 19 years later and I really wish I had continued avoiding it. The plot is predictable, I guessed that Bianca Lawson was Snoop Dogg's daughter within 2 minutes of her being on screen. Everytime they seem to run out of plot they just invent another plot device. The characters were cliche and the acting was terrible. Even from Pam Grier, who is usually one of my favorites. The special effects and sets are lacking. If the movie had not tried to take itself so seriously all of these things would have actually been to it's benefit. Also, H.G. Lewis called, he wants his red paint shipped back to 1964.
Ya dig or ya don't, I dug the vibe all the way, and the throwback to the '70s was dynamite! Hate all y'all want, but dis flick has all y'all beat! BONG!
