    Dead Presidents is the best, Book of Eli was madly underrated.

    Menace II Society and Dead Presidents are neck and neck to me, The Book of Eli was amazing also, only reason it got ? on by critics was because of it's heavy pro-biblical stance and the majority of critics are heavy handed liberals who hate anything Christian related, hence why they all loved Noah.

    How come everyone always laments John Singleton decline but gives The Hughes Brothers a pass? I am so ? glad their plans for Akira fell apart, ? that, you better get an elite ? like Spielberg or Nolan for ? Damn AKIRA...

    Book of Eli was dope. Excellent post-apocalyptic film imho, even if the twist is a bit silly. The way they filmed the shootout at the house was epic.

    Menace imho hasn't aged as well as its contemporaries......the scope of everything Dead Presidents covers is stunning.

    LOL I just saw what u said about Noah in the end there.
    I didn't like Book of Eli and I actually liked Noah
    ...wouldn't call myself a die hard liberal tho. Wouldn't call myself a Christian either tho. Might be why we disagree.

    I have no idea what AKIRA is.

    I still love menace tho. I own the BluRay, watch it like at least once every 2 months.
    Cant watch it on TV tho. Looks bad without the BluRay retouch and I hate when they dub over the curse words on TV. (and theres a lot of cursing in that film)

    The bros were fresh outa high school when they made Menace too.
