Wreakin' Havoc...gabacha style.
"Too much is never enough"
So I just finished watching this Anne Hathaway/Bijou Phillips (oh and "Reese" from Terminator is in it too) film...why on earth anyone would sign up for such a film is beyond me. Not much of a stretch for Bijou to play trash, but Anne, why? I thought you were a princess...
Here's a summary...a couple of screwed up gabachas from the Pacific Palisades get mixed up with the "16th Street" gangbangers (supposed to be East L.A., but actually mid-city Alvarado/Pico Union area aka 'Korea Town'). The homeboys end up runnin' a train on Emily (Bijou, who else), after a night of tequila binging with the vatos at a seedy motel. You see the girls wanted to join the "16th Street" crew, so they had to roll the dice, and whatever number they got...well, you get the idea. Then they get lawyers...typical gabacha. Movie ends with Allison (Anne) saying something or other into a camera...I don't know. Oh, almost forgot to mention...the local crew at Palisades High is the PLC--group of Eminemesque wanna-be gangstas 'keepin' it real', who apparently have had SWAT team training--as evident in the bizarre ambiguous "climax" sequence where the boyz raid the seedy Alvarado motel in order to defend gabacha honor (guns blazing), only to find a couple of homegirls there, holding their baby's of course. Dismayed/shocked/saddened, they leave. Stop at red light. See some homeboys, then the scene goes dark, we can now only hear the action now...a shot is fired, by whom, or at whom we don't know. But as the tagline goes, 'Some lines weren't' meant to be crossed', yea, like giving the green light for the script.
My favorite lines from Havoc:
"There is a monetary zone of geography we do not cross"
"Hey, what's your name...you wanna smoke crack?"
"Hey essay, that's my homegirl"
"Bitch got parents?!"
"You got bounced out the PLC!"
All in all, we do get to see Anne Hathaway and Bijou (of course) in various outfits/acts, so, I shouldn't complain too much. Plus, hearing Anne singing Tupac's 'How do you want it' is priceless...high five.
