In like the 80’s everything turned lame. Hip films featuring Antonio Fargas in six inch heels were replaced with Whoopie Goldberg like mewing through “The Color Purple.” But that all changed in 1991 with the release of “Boyz in the Hood.” A hard hitting and financially successful look at ghetto living (and loving!), the movie launched the career of director John Singleton, as well as boosting like the credibility of gangsta rapper cum actor, Ice Cube. The film was followed by an onslaught of similarly themed flicks, one of the more successful being “Menace II Society,” the first offering from the Hughes brothers. “Who are the Hughes brothers?” you ask. What the Wright brothers were to flying airplanes, what the Ringling Brothers were to dancing poodles, the Hughes brothers have been to the modern African American crime drama. “Menace II Society” starred Tyrin Turner and Lorenz Tate, and essentially retold the same story as “Boys in the Hood”: Young brothers caught up in the urban tribalism known as “gangbanging” spend all their time killing each other when they should be killing “the man.”
