I just saw this movie and gotta say that i am really surprised by the performance of snoop dogg. DAmn, he's cold and shit and i think that the fact that denzel washington said that snoop can be a ood actor gotta be tru'. I wont go into details (i still remember that one of the moderators, coward nuff to not step forward, locked my training daythread)...
for those who havent seen it yet, go and buy a ticket

U lot are lucky. I live in the UK. We get that film in like 3 months. The only way i could see it is if i get it on vcd. Spose i could and also see it at the theatres so some money goes to production and i ain't rippin them off

i heard on a local radio station, kid rock was being interviewed and he was saying who he did work with for his new cd and he said snoop dogg among others...and when they asked him if he's seen bones kid was like 'yeah but it ain't one of the best things snoops done before, but if the cash was there than why not', and all the people in the studio agreed that the movie was kind of crappy although they liked snoops music...peace.

I was watching Ebert and Roeper last night and Roeper said it was one of his favorite movies of the year, while Ebert said it was alright, but Snoop shined throughout the film... they said it was his best performance

Heres List of reviews for Bones...HMM about 30 comments, and not a single one of them had anything good to say about the movie. ::)
"Before its last-reel nosedive into bullpucky about a parallel world of the dead..."Bones" is gutsy, stylish and inventive."
-- Rob Blackwelder, SPLICEDWIRE
"Lack of cohesion blows holes in urban ghost movie."
-- Robert W. Butler, KANSAS CITY STAR
"Seen in this way, the badness of Bones strikes a blow for the civil rights movement--at least in the same way as Good Times and What's Happenin' did in the late-'70s"
-- Walter Chaw, FILM FREAK CENTRAL
"There is howler amusement here, though blaxploitative horror spoofed with so dense a pile-on loses force."
-- David Elliott, SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE
"Bones might have been fun if it pumped up the camp a bit, but the movie takes itself too seriously to succeed on that front."
-- Dan Fazio, CITYSEARCH
"Dickerson stays true to the tradition in the film's last third, which turns seriously stupid, and finally outright comic."
-- Terry Lawson, DETROIT FREE PRESS
"An amusing retro ride."
-- Maitland McDonagh, TV GUIDE'S MOVIE GUIDE
"Flashy, but without much point, and with nothing new to add to the genre. And Snoop Dogg is neither an actor nor a scary undead monster man."
-- Mervius, FANTASTICA DAILY
"As a horror film, Bones is a half-hearted bust, not likely to really frighten anyone over age 12. It works better if watched tongue in cheek as a supernatural pot boiler."
-- Louis B. Parks, HOUSTON CHRONICLE
"For whatever reason, cleverness of any kind is dispensed with about halfway through Bones, and the film descends into standard-issue schlock 'n gore that has no rationale beyond easily induced nausea."
-- Steve Schneider, ORLANDO WEEKLY
"Its transitions often are sloppy and crude. But it brandishes its excesses like a loud, retro suit."
-- Gene Seymour, NEWSDAY
"A fright film with a bit of social consciousness, a few good laughs and some nice, formal nods to such baroque Italian horror masters as Dario Argento and Mario Bava, Bones nevertheless turns into a typical modern genre piece."
-- Bob Strauss, DAILY NEWS LOS ANGELES
"Pretty standard horror stuff."
-- Tor Thorsen, REEL.COM
"Slow to start, this Snoop Dogg vehicle gets revved up as soon as it gets gross, funny and stupid. Actually, it's pretty stupid from the start."
-- Chris Vognar, DALLAS MORNING NEWS
"Although Snoop's fans might enjoy the proceedings, even blood and gore aficionados might be disappointed by the unrealistic looking mayhem that's put on display here."
-- SCREEN IT!
"Classier, handsomer and smarter than you'd expect."
-- Chris Hewitt, ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS
"A watchable haunt from the 'hood for this Halloween."
-- Jackie Loohauis, MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL
"The last half-hour falls apart, with a shower of maggots, stage blood, catchphrases and nonsensical plot devices."
-- Sean Means, SALT LAKE TRIBUNE
"Only Pam Grier, the veteran of the last golden age of Blacksploitation cinema, acquits herself admirably here."
-- Roger Moore, ORLANDO SENTINEL
"The one thing that the movie kills is time. It performs one miracle along the way by making an hour and a half turn into what must have been at least four."
-- Steve Rhodes, STEVE RHODES' INTERNET REVIEWS
"There's little tension, few scares and only average gore. The Dogg shows as many emotional styles as he does hairdos (that would be two)."
-- Chuck Schwartz, CRANKY CRITIC®
"[A] vile mess."
-- Eric D. Snider, DAILY HERALD
"A gruesome, gloppy, goofy but perversely amusing shlockfest that will probably appeal to young audiences looking for a Halloween date flick."
-- Frank Swietek, ONE GUY'S OPINION
"Fails so completely to generate suspense, shock, dramatic momentum or anything else that a kind-hearted viewer may end up rooting for it out of sympathy as it slowly digs its own grave."
-- Michael Tunison, BOXOFFICE MAGAZINE
"Fine trash entertainment."
-- Dave White, IFILM
"Make no Bones about it, Snoop's latest starring movie role is a real dog."
-- E! ONLINE
Hot Pick
"The promotional tagline for Bones fittingly reads, 'Unleash the Dogg.' The filmmakers sure did, and in more ways than one."
-- Dustin Putman, THEMOVIEBOY.COM
Cream of the Crop
ROTTEN 22%
"Too earthbound to get anywhere near terror."
-- Jay Carr, BOSTON GLOBE
"If grossness gives you the giggles, at least a couple of the movie's effects indeed put a little 'wow' in this cinematic bowwow."
-- Mike Clark, USA TODAY
"Too much of Bones feels transplanted from genre staples like Hellraiser."
-- Richard Harrington, WASHINGTON POST
"In exalting the very worst of humanity, Bones displays a special glee and an unusual density of scary imagery."
-- Stephen Holden, NEW YORK TIMES
"To point out little flaws in this one would be like looking at a demolished car and complaining that the taillight doesn't work."
-- Mick LaSalle, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
"Spends so much time trying to impress us with its roaming camera and wispy, digitalized specters that it forgets to be even a teensy bit scary."
-- Glenn Lovell, SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS
"A silly, boring supernatural thriller that squanders a potentially interesting premise."
-- Lou Lumenick, NEW YORK POST
"Stylish and ingratiatingly goofy."
-- Kevin Maynard, MR. SHOWBIZ
"A garish, grotesque slab of silliness drowned in bloody visual effects overkill with an end result that is more horrible than horrific."
-- Michael Rechtshaffen, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
"Full of fits and starts, it never really gets going, stalling at every turn without even giving us enough of what we paid to see -- Snoop Dogg and gore."
-- Luke Y. Thompson, NEW TIMES LOS ANGELES
"On whole, the film is an incoherent mess."
-- Jeff Vice, DESERET NEWS, SALT LAKE CITY
"It probably won't make one hide under the bed, but Bones should more than satisfy horror movie fans, as it employs a believable plot, just-enough spooky elements and a dose of dark humor."
-- Damon C. Williams, PHILADELPHIA DAILY NEWS
