Recaps With Mae

Ok so I just got done watching The Female Hustler 2 and it was so good that it had me yelling at my tv!!!! *Fun Fact this film and the production company are based in Columbus, Ohio and they portrayed the buckeye state WELL * SPOILERS AHEAD!! The Female Hustler 2 had me on the ropes from beginning to end! We begin with Princess once again facing shots from an unknown assailant. The Female Hustler 2 wasted no time letting us know that Cali wants Princess gone, and by any means necessary! Not to mention, Omar, the villain we love to hate, is still alive and plotting a way to get back to the top. Although Princess has accumulated wealth she is still guarded with her love interest, Derrick, from the first film. Derrick's role in Princess's life was also staged, as he was working on so many different sides. Throughout the film and in the end we find out that Derrick is working undercover with the feds, in cahoots with Dom, and is also reporting back to Cali with the tabs he is kee

So I finally watched The Female Hustler and although it was a good film with a good plot, there were some continuity issues with the subplots 😩  Spoilers Ahead! Let’s start with the main character Princess. I loved seeing Princess go from rags to riches, but it seemed to happen very quickly without much depth. They seemed to introduce a little bit of her background, but didn't use it as a plot device to build her character up in a realistic way. I felt like the writing could have been a little stronger in regards to the subplot of her best friend needing to get away from her pimp. A plot hole I noticed was that it was never addressed that her best friend was sleeping with her brother!  I also felt like they dropped the ball with the death of her brother Dae Dae.  In the previous scene we see her boss Omar (played by writer/director Dom Campbell ) putting a hit on her, then the immediate next scene we see her looking out the window and hearing gunshots, then BOOM, she's crying

 So I watched Dirty Cops L.A over this past weekend and let me tell y'all, it was so good!  SPOILERS AHEAD! Just think of a combination of Bad Boys 2 and Training Day. Det. Jackson and Johnson had the chemistry of Marcus Barnett and Mike Lowery but the biggest twist was that they were corrupt as hell. Dirty Cops LA stars @IAMJOEY as Det. Jackson, G. Wells as Det. Johnson, and Slink Johnson as Capt Davis. The supporting cast is Cynthia Luciette, and I.V League as Det. Rawlings and T.J. The Good: Let's start with the story line and main plot. I liked that this movie was listed as an action movie, but it also had comedic elements. All the jokes and punchlines landed great from the actors who I later learned were also comedians! The only actor that I recognized was Slink Johnson who started as Black Jesus on Adult Swim . Johnson literally kills every role that he plays so I was not surprised that he was also just as corrupt as at the cops that he’s supposed to be supervising 🤣 De
