You gots to check out the review Joshua Zyber did of Belly on HDD.Too funny. Ya know what I mean........
http://bluray.highdefdigest.com/1524/belly.html

Some highlights:

"Yo, check dis. 'Belly' drops on Blu-ray from my dawgs at Lionsgate. Word!"

"As far as I can tell, the action has something to do with a bunch of young hoodlums stealing, murdering, peddling drugs, and slapping their hos around (how does one spell the plural of "ho" anyway?)."

"if in fact the constant stream of expletives (including the forbidden one that I, as a white person, am never allowed to repeat) strung together without purpose or meaning could really be called dialogue."

"I lost count of the number of lines capped off with a "Know wha'm sayin'?" As in, "F**k dat sh!t yo, know wha'm sayin'? Know wha'm sayin', dawg?" If you have to ask, the answer's probably no."

" There's no point to any scene, no way to tell what's going on, and no way to tell the characters apart." (because you know, they all look the same.)

"Am I just too white to appreciate the gritty urban drama of a movie like 'Belly'? I don't think so. I've watched my share of 'hood movies over the years, both good and bad" (some of by best friends are......)

"Don't believe the Hype. Know wha'm sayin'?"

"'Belly' is the cinematic equivalent of being shot in the gut. I took a bullet in agreeing to watch this movie for review. Don't make the same mistake I did. Decent picture and sound don't make up for how torturous this piece of garbage is to watch. Life is too short to waste watching crap like this."

I'm starting to think he really didnt like this movie yo'..........

Check out the "Bottom Line"

Nice to see HDD is now employing bigots to review BDs. It's a change from the typical HD-DVD loving film geek.

I find Josh Zyber's reviews to be the most worthless pieces of garbage anyway. This just backs that up...

He went a bit overboard, but I thought it was funny. In all honesty, that movie was a giant piece of S (imo)!
