Apr 7 2009'Frankenhood' Trailer: Frankenstein's Monster Plays Street Basketball
A naîve giant is reanimated then recruited to play street basketball despite his being unaware of cultural norms and his own relative bigness. That's your Frankenhood:
How disappointingly dull. I wasn't expecting a cretinous fish-out-of-water story neither worse nor better than Encino Man. If not for that single ridiculously underacted Charlie Murphy scene (who decides to play a mad scientist "small"?) I would swear this is Kevin Bacon-less DTV Air Up There 2: Urban Jungle.
My question now is, if Frankenstein Monsters are great at basketball, and Wolfmen can dunk from the three-point line (see Teen Wolf, web-heads), why is Universal Monsters 3-on-3 Street Basketball not yet a video game I can play?

Clever! Let's bash an entire race of people because a few individuals made a movie you don't want to see!

Ahah, do not talk too fast, i've seen the word "race" in your message, right ? Are black people from another race than yours ?
Whatever - another junkmovie from our favorite indie major. 10% of chance to see that one in Europe (DVD Zone 1 import maybe), we're almost safe.

Son of a bitch. Wee-Bey Brice is in this movie. And I basically feel I need to see every movie with an actor from "The Wire". I saw "Prom Night" and "The Punisher" for that reason.

I'm with therush, any movie/TV with any actor from The Wire gets a pass from outright scorn. And Wee-Bey? As Clay Davis would say, "Well, sheeeet."
And I'd be lying if I said I didn't chuckle a few times at that trailer. That said, the chances of me seeing this before it's on cable are very, very slim.
