Product Description

Lots of guys have second thoughts about marriage. Three hours before his wedding, Roland (Taye Diggs) is having third, fourth and fifth thoughts. Good thing he's got best buddies Slim (Richard T. Jones) and Mike (Omar Epps) around to help sort those feelings out—and to remember their coming-of-age days in "The Wood" (Inglewood, California). From the big dance to first love, the rites of passage that are part of everyone's growing up are winningly chronicled in this unforgettable tale of laughs and friendship that's set to the most memorable musical grooves of the '80s.

The Wood: Back In The Day Edition.......2007-06-28

So, I was in Wal-Mart looking specially for Black Snake Moan, and what do I happen to find; I guess Paramount decided to listen to the fans and put out a better version of the DVD to The Wood, than the now discontinued original printing (which I also own), and the re-release that they put out last year with still no special features. To my surprise, this new version features a commentary track with the director Rick Famuyiwa, and star Taye Diggs and Richard T. Jones. I had to buy it, along with BSM (not "BDSM"; ya'll are nasty!)Now, being that this commentary was recorded exactly eight years after the film was made, and being that The Wood is such a huge hit, you expect certain things about the production of the film, behind the scenes secrets to be told, etc. Really, the commentary doesn't touch that at all. Sure, they think back on the old times of making this movies, but really they don't discuss the movie. The other "features include a reburbished previouly unreleased featurette about the back story of the movie; and the theatrical trailer. Honestly, i still think that they could have done better byt including music videos from songs on the soundtrack (who didn't like 'Neck Uv Da Woods', the brilliant combination of Outkast and Mystikal), and the others. Sure, this release is better than the previous two, but as I mentioned before, this film means something to many people, and although I only paid $10 for the DVD, I really don't know if I got my money's worth.

What can I say.......2007-04-02

If you are a vintage Grand National/Winston/Nextel cup NASCAR fan this is a must!!

BACK IN THE DAY -Complete Season 1 - Well worth the money!!.......2007-02-11

I was recently given the opportunity to offically review Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s DVD set BACK IN THE DAY Complete Season One on my blog, The Church of The Great Oval. BACK IN THE DAY is a treasure trove of information on the history of NASCAR. Whether you are an old school fan of the sport or a newbie to NASCAR, it is an investment you won't regret. Dale Jr. has done an excellent job in allowing the watcher to learn more about the most popular sport in the U.S. through this wonderful trip through the past. You watch and learn many of the same things that Dale Jr. learned in the same way he did, by watching the old TV show "Car and Track". Many of the most famous races and tracks of the 60's and 70's are highlighted, and the differences in the rules and regulations then and today are blatantly obvious. The Driver's then, drove to win. They didn't drive to please anyone but their own competitive drive and that meant doing what they had to do to win. Safety today and safety then is like black and white. The "old school" driver's were, in my opinion 1/4 brave and 3/4 crazy! Those driver's, made the sport what it is today. Buy it!! You will watch it over and over!!

A look inside.......2007-01-24

While looking back at races is entertaining, the best part of his series is seeing how he lives. You get to see different rooms of his house, his assortment of cars, and the many attractions on his property.

What I think.......2007-01-13

This is great. I enjoy watching the old races and reading the pop-ups.

Bringing the classics back.......2007-01-04

The tv show is great. I love the old school nascar tapes. The pop-ups can be distracting but are neat also. If you enjoy racing the dvd is for you. The old races show where NASCAR came from and give reference to some of the bigger names in the sport. If you are new to NASCAR and want a brief history this set is also for you.

Back In the Day.......2005-10-15

by Tynesha Mells

In this drama, Ja Rule, who stars as Reggie, struggles with the loss of his father. His old friend J-Bone, who is a cold-blooded thug recently released from prison, helps Reggie find who murdered his father. A week after his dad died, a preacher, Reverend Packer, came up dead. Reggie was suppose to be the one to kill him, but did he? Did Reggie kill Reverend Packer or was it some type of a setup?

Back in the Day also has a couple of romantic scenes. See, Reggie falls in love with the preacher's daughter and J-Bone doesn't approve of his love friend. As J-Bone tries to destroy what they have, Reggie learns that love is about forgiveness. But what J-bone is doing, does it work? Do Reggie and his girlfriend break up, or does it bring them closer together?

I like this movie because it leaves you wondering what's going to happen next and did this or that happen. I like movies with suspense! It kind of makes you want to be in the movie so that you could detect things. I also like this movie because everything falls in place, if you really pay attention to it!

boring.......2005-06-24

this movie takes place in the lives of a couple of gangstas who do stupid stuff and bad stuff comes back to get them. doesn't sound too bad of a plot, but the problem is the lack of definition in the characters and budget. for example, a guy gets shot, but magically there is no blood. there was a few shocking scenes like a man getting tossed in a car trunk and set on fire and a preacher getting shot. only problem is the pace is just too slow. this isn't an action flick. it isn't even a good hood flick. i only watched it because ving rhames was in it and he is one of my favorite actors, but you can't fix bad directing.

in other words, don't waste your money here. go and buy friday, boyz in the hood, dead presidents, or menace 2 society. those are much better.

Surprise Surprise.......2005-05-23

Just finished watching Back in the Day and I honestly have nothing but good things to say about the movie. While I'm sure it will come as no surprise that Ving did his thing what was very surprising is how well Ja performed. James Hunter,the director, needs to be given credit not only for a well written and shot movie but also for coaching that performance out of Ja. This is one for the collection, not to be missed.

I LOVE THIS MOVIE! VING VING BABY!.......2005-05-15

VING DID HIS THANG!
I LOVE THE SCENES IN THE MOVIE!

Ja Rule at his best!!!.......2005-05-14

I just finished watching Back in the Day. I thouroughly enjoyed this movie. I don't care what is said about Ja Rule, but this guy has a natural talent. You can't fake natural talent. I think he's a great addition to films! Ving Rhames did his thing too. What did you expect? He's a veteran! I give much props to each and everyone who had anything to do with this movie...they did a wonderful job!!! EXCELLENT!!!
