Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

guy-seide You know what gets me , people who talk crap about what they don't know. The ghetto is unoriginal , and yet every time you hear of another youth robbed of their future you cant help ,but feel like another mother some were else is mourning . See people who are well off don't get the "things" that goes on in the hood, so they give their Bill O'Riley point of view when they see a movie about growing up in the hood . I'm from south side Queens , one of the roughest area's in NYC , but yet I was able to relate to the lives of this family in London(sorry if I got the area wrong). I wasn't fascinated by the street life , nor did I ask to be a part of it. Yet is was present in my life through my brother, so I understood this movie . To those who think this movie was useless , understand this its not for you to be entertained ,but rather educated as to what goes on in the lives of young black (ghetto) youths. So for once look at this with an open mind and see what can be done to help , rather then mocking the realism of allot of Americas youth. Get to know were we come from .

paul2001sw-1 'Bullet Boy' is an understated drama about an ex-convict trying to go straight in London's black community. The piece is nicely assembled and acted, and makes good visual use of its Hackney setting, but there's nothing in the story which is ultimately surprising. I also have one quibble: the film features a fair amount of gun usage, but we don't see any underlying criminal activity, which is (I think) usually the root cause of shootings. On the other hand, one strength is that the world of the characters is not depicted as a squalid ghetto, but rather as a place in which one can imagine real people living in. Overall, this is not a bad film; but it is a little bland.

clueless99999 I went to the Premiere of Bullet Boy at the Corner House last night and was very impressed with the film. The film has a very powerful, positive message, and i think it is a very thought provoking film which deserves to be seen by as many people as possible. The film deals with the issue of gun crime is a very realistic, non stereotypical way, and gives a very good insight into a world which many of us have probably never come across. The film ends with what i thought was a positive message of hope and inspiration. This film is definitely worth a look!!! I would also like to add that the director and lead actor- Ashley Walters both came across as really nice people, who obviously have a great passion for films and the issues within this one. Is was very refreshing to see 2 fairly young people with such an intelligent, positive, polite manner. I was very impressed!

squeakyorm I wasn't expecting too much of this film before I saw it, but I have to say I was wrong to think it would be dull. Although American audiences -- and, in fact, non-London-dwelling audiences -- probably won't appreciate it for its wonderful depiction of east London, I find myself for once thankful that I live in Hackney. Some scenes around the Hackney Marshes and Lea Valley are astonishingly lush, to the extent that I had my doubts they were actually filmed there, because they present such a contrast to the grubby streets I'm used to, and which are portrayed in other parts of the film.One of the other things that struck me was the accuracy of the dialogue -- I know this sounds a bit silly, but it's easy to get wrong, and in Bullet Boy there wasn't a word out of place. Lines like "that dog's like my brethren" are faintly amusing, but people do actually speak like that, and Bullet Boy got it exactly right.I think Bullet Boy is a beautiful film, and have in fact only one gripe besides perhaps its inaccessibility for people who aren't English: the editing-over of a sign at a train station from the station name to 'Platform 2'. I'm an appalling pedant.
