Bones (2001)

best movie i've ever seen.

Absolutely the worst movie.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Any film with a rap artist as its star should be approached with caution: for every '8-Mile' (Eminem), there are a dozen 'Lockjaw: Rise of the Kulev Serpent's (DMX). Not that the failure of Bones is the sole fault of its legendary hip-hop star Snoop Dogg (AKA Snoop Doggy Dogg, Snoop Lion, DJ Snoopadelic, Snoopzilla)—even the most talented of thespians couldn't prevent this predictable vengeful ghost story from being a total mess.In addition to a tired and muddled plot that leaves too many questions unanswered (what did that dog have to do with things? why didn't Bones's spirit kill the kids as soon as they entered the house? why wasn't that building demolished like the others?), this film suffers from an irritatingly 'trendy' directorial style and gimmicky editing, awkward humour (were those talking severed heads really necessary?) and totally wastes the talents of both Pam 'Coffy' Grier and horror hottie Katherine Isabelle (in the role of token white girl).Working slightly in the film's favour are its impressive production design, the half-decent gore (the red paint for blood notwithstanding), a few neat visual references to cult horror classics, and some surprisingly good visual effects, but make no bones about it, this is a desperately uneven and not in the least bit scary effort that even avid Snoop fans might want to give a miss.

I used to watch Pam Grier movies back when I was a teen. Loved 'em even though they were grade B. The same goes with this one. Simply a grade B movie. I don't like bloody flicks but somehow this blood (tho massive) didn't bother me. It has a good story line & the dialog isn't bad. The flash back scenes sometimes are a bit fuzzy as to what is flash back & what isn't. It does get a bit creepy with worms flying from everywhere. It's supposed to be a horror flick but it lacks the suspense. Old horror flicks have more suspense than this one does for me and that's saying something. Snoop does a better job in this movie than others I've seen him in. Pam Grier plays a mom/Tarot card reader with something to hide. Michael T. Weiss's "bad cop" role is believable but I wasn't crazy about the make-up to make him heavier & older. All in all worth watching.

I've read the other comment referring to Snoop Doggs'horror film, Bones....When this first came out it was my favourite horror film but I watched it that many times that it lost its' lustre.The effects are great and plenty of blood and some gore from the outset. The beginning sets the tone for the rest of the film as it's one of those films that you just NEED to get to the bottom of why it is happening and what actually took place to cause it. It all unfolds at a pace enough to keep your interest as a viewer. This film is still a very watchable and enjoyable film in my opinion, even today. It was nice to see Snoop in something different and anyone that is a Snoop Fan will enjoy this film all the more.....7 out of 10.

Snoop Dogg showed that his success as an on-stage performer is no fluke. He has presence and skill, and is a very believable hero-turned-villain in this film. I definitely recommend the film.I would have liked to see more development of Pam Grier's character. Grier can definitely carry a film, and this one needed carrying at times. Some of the scenes are more gruesome than I prefer, and could have benefited from more work on the script and less on the special (gruesome) effects.The flashback scenes put Snoop Dogg in his true element - the funky 1970s. Those alone make the film worth watching.Altogether, this is an above-average film that will keep the attention of most people. You'll find yourself cheering for old Bones as he looks for his next victim.
