STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON - Your alternative to poorly reviewed comic book movies

[Spider-Dan]

I've been wanting to see this movie ever since I saw the trailer for it. I grew up on gangster rap in the early 90's. I had the angry parents that you speak of, so I always had to hide it, and listen to it on my walkman.

 

This was my first exposure to Ice Cube...

 

 

I was hooked ever since.

 

Loved it. The last Cube song I really enjoyed was "Pushin' Weight". Just a great workout tune.

 

"Uh - Yeah, Yeah"

My favorite line is the one with "patterns on they hankey"

Come on -

 

I like in Dr Frankenstein when he answers the knock on the door with "What is it!"

 

I was just hoping you would be impressed that I edited that whole song for general consumption

This is the best movie I seen this year!

I`d start to looking to pick these up for long-term investment.

That took long enough

 

Religion beat rappers this Labor Day weekend as WAR ROOM stole the top spot from STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON with an estimated $9.3 million!

 

The faith-based melodrama, apparently about prayer-power overcoming domestic abuse, has a 10-day domestic total of $24.6 million (on a reported $3 million cost).

 

But STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON wasn't far behind in second place with another $8.8 million. The R-rated biopic of N.W.A. has collected $147.7 million as of its fourth weekend in theaters.

 

Opening in third in a surprisingly strong performance was the comedy-drama A WALK IN THE WOODS with $8.4 million (and $10.4 million total since its Wednesday debut). The Robert Redford/Nick Nolte/Emma Thompson hiking adventure didn't climb to any great heights with critics (47% on Rotten Tomatoes), while audiences gave it a 'B' CinemaScore.

 

The globetrotting, plane-gripping action of MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - ROGUE NATION was in fourth with $7.1 million. The fifth entry in Tom Cruise's spy franchise reached $180.3 million domestic after six weeks on screens as it also passed $500 million worldwide (and hasn't opened in China yet).

 

Skidding into fifth place was the new action reboot THE TRANSPORTER REFUELED with $7.1 million. The PG-13 Luc Besson production swapped in Ed Skrein for Jason Statham as the fast-driving courier but sputtered with critics (18% on Rotten Tomatoes) and crowds ('B-' CinemaScore).
