scary movie 2 (2001)

"Aww, naw son! NOT A POLTERGEIST!... what's a poltergeist?"
The gang from the first movie all return, this time to a haunted house, and rip the piss out of any number of films and tv ads, from The Haunting, Charlies Angels, and The Exorcist.
Hit and miss teen comedy. fun in parts, though the gay and stoner jokes are starting to wear thin.

i'm gonna git you sucka (1988)

Jack Spade (Keenen Ivory Wayans) returns to the ghetto, on leave from the army, to go to his brothers funeral. He finds his brother had fallen out with Mr Big and owed him serious money. So Jack hooks up with his childhood hero, John Slade (Bernie Casey) and declares war on Mr Big and his gang. To help out Slade brings together all the blacksploitation characters from the 70's to help, including Issac Hayes and jim Brown.
Unlike most of the Wayan's films this is actually a decent comedy, a parody of blaxploitation movies, with a constant stream of jokes, most of which work. Watch out for Chris Rock who makes a small appearance and a performance by KRS-One at the end of the film.
