I definately prefer the first movie (two can play that game), but I am a fan of Vivica, so I thought I would try it. Well it didn't really live up to my expectations and was nowhere near as good as the first- but some funny moments nonetheless.
Like the first movie, Vivica is back with more advice on how to get the wedding ring on your finger. Be that through game playing and a few hustles on the side, a girl's got to do what a girl's got to do. However some games back fire, and as they say all's fair in love and war. And this is exactly what one woman finds out in this movie.

I loved the first "Barbershop" but to me the sequel has a lot more in depth with its characters and we learn a little more about each one and how they have improved since the first film. If "Back in Business" has any flaws, it's that there is not enough action inside the barbershop, where most of the action took place in the first film. The movie is a bit of a repeat of the first movie (the barbershop is threatened by closure, this time by competition). There is a little more drama with "Back in Business" that never slows the film down; a little drama never hurt anyone, did it? Either way, I did thoroughly enjoy it because it sprinkles some soul-pleasing themes about community, loyalty, and ethnic harmony.
Ice Cube's latest flick Barbershop acts as a commentary on the value of history in a community and that it takes people who care to make a community work. To do this, the movie spends a day in the life of the small barber shop, set in Chicago. The central conflict is Ice Cube, despite his better judgement, sells the shop to a loan shark because he has tried several get-rich-quick schemes which, unsurprisingly, has failed to pay off.
At the beginning of the movie we see Ice Cube trying to work on his recording studio, which is a long way from being operational. Ice Cube gets so caught up in this current project, of which there have been many precedents, that when the offer comes to sell the shop he jumps at it. The loanshark ... Read More:

Based on four friends, who come together for the wake of an old college friend who passed. They all went to college together and re-uniting means bringing up the past which can be painful for some. Jealously and love raises its ugly head and trouble is not far behind.
OK, movie with a few laughs. Also Robin Givens is quite funny in this movie.

If you saw Lockdown and liked it, then you'll enjoy this.
Boris Kodjoe plays a father who's son gets killed in a drive-by shooting. Feeling like he has nothing to live for, he hunts down the men involved in the death of his son and gets himself incacerated in the same jail as them, as a plot for revenge.
Very moving story, and acted so well by Kodjoe. The ending is also food for thought.
