I like Wes (and Grantland as a whole) and a lot of what he said is what I thought/feared it might be.

[Kyle Barker]

According to IMDB the dude who played "Stacey" in The Wood is going to play "Stacey" in this, so it's probably the same character. Definitely will check it out.

IN! Just added it to my Flixster "Want to See" list.



I need to put my sister onto this joint, "Top Five", & "Dead White People". Because she stays watching bad black movies & sleeps on the good ones.

Why isn't thread doing more numbers??!!!!! It looks like basically a classic teen film that just happens to be starring Black folks & have a Black director/writer.
