Reasons to (re)Watch – New Jack City (1991). [April 3rd, 2011]
Because you are your brother’s keeper. Because Nino should have known better. Because poor Pookie never had a chance. Because it’s old-school, but not dated. Because the early 90s will be back before you know it, and that velour suit and kangol hat you tried to burn and/or bury will return in all their glory.
Reason 3929394 to (re)watch New Jack City: G-Money saying “I got my jimmy waxed everyday last week! Several times a day!”
that, or “YOU BETTER SIT YOUR $5 ASS DOWN BEFORE I MAKE CHANGE!”(c)Nino
Uhh, spoiler alert on the last 2 photos!
I used to have the soundtrack cassette (that’s right) in my car all the time, though after the first 3 months, I would always fast forward past Color Me Badd.
You know, the pic with the velour track suit and kangols look like the lost Street Etiquette photo shoot.
haha true. But Nino’s death is like the original Fall of Stringer Bell. Everyone knows, even if they haven’t actually seen it.
Noo!!! you should have put a warning I have just recently started watching The Wire starting from Season 1…. but I just watched New Jack City from beginning to end for the first time last week…. Good movie. I like how the chick says “rock a blanc baby” when they are talking about how they have to kill that Jamaican dude.
Sorry. Didn’t mean to spoil that for you. I’m sure you’ll enjoy the series anyway. Season 4 is a masterpiece.
Reasons to (re)watch New Jack City: Because “this is some James Cagney, George Raft-type shit right here!!!”
IDOLATOR! YOUR SOUL IS REQUIRED IN HELL!!!
I must admit that I’ve never “watched” New Jack City; so rewatching it is wholly out of the question. Though I heard Ace Capone made a bitching sequel…
