    I'm supposed to like this, right? I mean, politically, I'm supposed to like this one. Because, you know, a 60-omething white guy decides to get real and connect to the black community by becoming a rapper. Which, if it were true to Hollywood and Government, they would minus a "p" and make it about scandalous that end careers. Instead they make it about a man with a midlife crisis who decides to speak "the truth" to the youth and minority cultures of America by rapping... because that, apparently is the only way to reach them. Ultimately, he is reaching out to the minority community by talking down to them with the assumption that they won't understand it if he spoke to them like he would "normal" humans. Which... is kind of telling of how that certain political group views the people they claim as their base. I guess if you are Black, poor, it would come across as kind of offensive, another liberal politician talking down to you and claiming he understands you as he treats you like a child. And, I guess, if you're not a minority, it must be commendable and virtuous how much he talks down to diverse communities in an effort to speak their language. Honestly, I never was a part of that whole "Social Justice" trip, I kind of looked at it as just a way for people to justify censorship by claiming outrage... but this is actually pretty offensive in it's assumptions of how to reach youth and minorities.

One Night at McCool's

On an ordinary night, in an ordinary part of town, a beautiful young woman walks into a bar. Her name is Jewel, and before long she is chatting to bartender Randy. The pair leave together, but he ends up getting into a tussle with her criminal boyfriend, who she then shoots dead, later persuading Randy to take the rap for her. But this isn't the end of it, as both Randy's cousin Carl and the detective assigned to the murder case also fall for Jewel's charms and find themselves caught up in the ensuing events. It seems that any man who meets Jewel falls instantly in love with her, and she's going to use this fully to her own advantage, leaving a trail of havoc in her wake. It also seems that she is going to get away with it - that is, until Randy decides to hire a hitman...
