"Notorious" Receives Thumbs Up Reviews + Cease & Gravy Hit up B.I.G's Block
Posted on January 16, 2009 9:00 AM
"Notorious" is in theaters NOW. I know of three people who copped their movie tickets yesterday. I didn't think it was gonna be this serious, but it looks like the movie turned out to be a good look and that people are really interested in seeing what it's about.
Here are some of what people are saying (curtesy of Thinktank Marketing):
"..."Notorious" is a rock-solid biopic with a foolproof rise-and-fall storyline and a warmly nuanced performance by Jamal Woolard as iconic rapper Christopher Wallace -- aka Biggie Smalls" - Variety
"...this is the first gotta-see movie of 2009. It has terrific performances, a powerful soundtrack and eye-catching visuals" -HollywoodReporter.com
"Newcomer Jamal Woolard plays the lead role so closely that it's almost chilling. 'The mannerism, the behavior, the walk, the chin up high...' he says of how he studied B.I.G.'s movements. The result is a performance that is not just physically uncanny but multi-layered in character portrayal as director George Tillman Jr. ("Soul Food," "Barbershop") jam-packed a snap-shot of a decade of B.I.G.'s life into a 38 day shoot." - AOL Music
MTV's Shaheem Reid got up with Lil Cease and Gravy to visit Biggie's old block. Looks like Gravy is optimistic about the movie's opening weekend.
Also, check the VERY ACCURATE and interesting article the "NY Post" did on the movie HERE
