MOVIE PICK OF THE WEEK: LIFE + DEBT (DOCUMENTARY)

 >> Film Posted 6/16/2010 by crazyhood.


Last night I came across this documentary "Life + Debt" (2001) directed by Stephanie Black. The film is about Jamaica but in truth the movie is about the effects of economic globalization (aka The New World Order) on developing countries. My thoughts while watching this movie went from feeling bad as a person who has traveled to Jamaica, to anger at our ignorance, to realizing the same thing is happening in our own nation. Watch this movie and tell me if you don't see the similarities in local communities and businesses suffering to big business within our very own country. I realized this is not us "The United States" against them its our governments policies dictated by corporate monsters which ultimately effect all of us. Jamaica and countries like it are but like the canary in the cave to the extreme effects this will have on the majority of us in the global community. This movie touches upon many things. It touches upon local economies, banking, politics, corporate monopolies, and even the health and deterioration of our food supply. In light of the recent violence in Jamaica, I think this is a great film that can open our eyes to what is actually going on in the world around us and how our consumption is directly related to these problems. We would be foolish not to see how this is already affecting us and affect us. Watch the trailer above and then I recommend you rent the movie, stream on netflix or watch for free on youtube.

MOVIE PICK OF THE WEEK: GREEN ZONE

 >> Film Posted 4/5/2010 by crazyhood.


If your anything like me, you may not be a fan of the Bourne series of movies with Matt Damon and may of expected more of the same with this movie. The only thing this movie has in common with the Bourne series is Matt Damon and some military influenced action. The movie is loosely based on a real soldier and his experiences as his squad hunted for WMD's in Iraq. The movie gives the audience a visual understanding of the governments misleading tactics which lead us into the war in Iraq and the mismanagement after the initial invasion. Every American (N. American that is) should watch this movie. Watch the trailer to Green Zone HERE!


MOVIE PICK OF THE WEEK: AMERICAN DRUG WAR - THE LAST WHITE HOPE

 >> Film Posted 2/2/2010 by Who's Crazy?.


If your an avid CrazyHood.com reader you can see that we sometimes recommend movies that have been out for a while. The process in which we pick out movies is very easy. Whenever we discover the movie we let you know about it. Sometimes we watch a movie we saw years ago and want to remind people about it or sometimes we just stumble on movies we never knew about. Therefor we want to spread the knowledge of this film to those that may have not known about the film just like ourselves.

American Drug War: The Last White Hope is a documentary discussing the governments approach and true intentions with the "War On Drugs". In relation to Hip Hop music, this documentary talks about famed Crack Cocaine kingpin Ricky "Freeway" Ross. The film discusses Ricky's connection to the Iran-Contra affair of the mid 80's in which the U.S. Government was involved in an scandalous campaign selling arms to Iran to fund the Nicaraguan Contras. I had heard and known about the allegations that the CIA was connected to the Crack epidemic, so I found this very insightful. The documentary has many other credible people such as Joe Rogan (Fear Factor), Robert Steele (former CIA), Chong (Cheech and Chong) as well as other public officials, ex DEA operatives and various experts. You should definitely rent this movie or watch the movie for free on youtube NOW!

MOVIE PICK OF THE WEEK PT3: DRUG WARS - SILVER OR LEAD

 >> Film Posted 1/9/2010 by crazyhood.


Drug Wars: Plata or Plomo or the gringo version "Drug Wars: Silver or Lead" is a very insightful movie into the rarely publicized Mexican drugs wars. This documentary dives into the cause and effect of this intense war going on in the United States backyard. The documentary explains that if this problem is left unchecked it may spill over our borders. Actually the most shocking information in this film is of armed raids across our borders kidnapping and assaulting U.S. civilians. The experts in the movie are completely baffled at why the U.S. government is not concerned of this on going bloody war at our doorstep. Watch the trailer for "Drug Wars: Silver or Lead" now!



MOVIE PICK OF THE WEEK PT2: WAR MADE EASY (NARRATED BY SEAN PENN)

 >> Film Posted 1/9/2010 by Who's Crazy?.


This is a great documentary uncovering our governments use of lies and deception in going to war in the name of the people of the United States. If your like me you have already began to see this for yourself but if you haven't been paying attention this movie will surely shock you. Don't take the word of this documentary film maker, use your common sense and open your eyes and ears. Next time you hear and see what is being served by the media and the government officials pay closer attention to the facts! I rather be a real patriot than an enslaved puppet! The proof is plain for all to see, the question is.. do you want to see it? Watch the trailer for "War Made Easy" now!


MOVIE PICK OF THE WEEK: CRIPS AND BLOODS: MADE IN AMERICA

 >> Film Posted 1/8/2010 by Who's Crazy?.


I don't know how I missed this flick but it seems to of been out for a while. Regardless I am glad I finally caught it! "Crips and Bloods" was directed by Stacy Peralta. Stacy Peralta also did the very dope documentary Dogtown and Z-boys and is co-owner of the skateboard empire Powell-Peralta. This movie really puts the entire Crips and Bloods gang culture into perspective and gives a great historical account of social environment in which these gangs manifested. I highly recommend this documentary and think it should be shown in high schools across America! Check out the trailer for "Crips and Bloods: Made in America".

MOVIE PICK OF THE WEEK: FOOD INC.

 >> Film Posted 12/18/2009 by crazyhood.


I had seen clips of this movie here and there but it wasn't till last night that I finally sat down and watched this movie in its entirety. Food Inc. is a documentary about how our primary foods are made, where it comes from, and who controls the industry. Unless you have been living in a cave, this movie doesnt uncover anything new, it just reiterates how serious the problems with our food supply. If you have been ignoring the obvious tell tale signs that something is wrong, then this movie will be a total eye opener. If you are already aware of the problems in the food industry, then this movie will give you a more complete understanding of where our problems lie.


MOVIE PICK OF THE WEEK: THE AMERICAN RULING CLASS

 >> Film Posted 12/6/2009 by crazyhood.


We haven't posted a movie pick of the week in several weeks and to be quite honest with you, this movie isn't the most cinematic piece of film to ever be made. This movie or better said, documentary is a very telling analyzation of what this country is and how it is ruled. Not just our country but the world as a whole. We as laymen have to open our eyes and at least come to grips that we are slaves to the dollar and those who possess its powers!
