1111.0. "Jason's Lyric" by VAXCPU::movies (China Moon) Thu Jun 20 1996 01:00

	Well I didn't know what to expect from this one.  I caught it
	when it was on The Movie Channel free preview this past weekend.
	I saw the name Forest Whitacker and thought it may be something
	worth while.

	It however turned out to be another "in the hood" type movies
	with the cliche pretictable ending and a romantic sub-plot.

	General plot is a good clean cut kid with a brother who just
	got out of jail and is a drunk and simply keeps screwing up.
	Big brother thinks he can save his no-good brother, etc etc.

	I couple of years ago this would of been a good film, as it was
	ok, but the genre is just too old as it's been done so many
	times that I can't recommend it.

	> That movie is about 2 years old now!! That would seem to prove my point about the "genre" for this type of film be passe ..... :-)) I didn't say this this movie was recent, just that watching it "today" I wouldn't recommend this film, while I probably would of recommend it a couple of years ago had I seen it then.
