Any one that knows me knows I’m a rap and hip/hop fiend, so I immediately knew that Reincarnated was one I much check out. The documentary follows the iconic Snoop Dogg and his transformation into reggae music.

Reincarnated shares with us the newly named Snoop Lion's spiritual journey to Jamaica to reflect on his past career, failures, loves, regrets, and losses. The documentary shows us how Snoop’s new sound will not only change himself but hopefully allow people to share peace and positivity through the power of reggae music.

Wood Harris and Jamie Hector, the two budding stars of Peter Spirer's Just Another Day, have teamed up before on HBO's cult drama 'The Wire'. Their mere involvement is what drove me to this film as I was a fan of the show and figured both could ignite the screen to make something of this film. In a way, they both did.

Art of the Steal, The

The Art of the Steal takes a somewhat unheard-of story and carefully and skillfully turns it into one of the most dramatic events of the century.

The movie was only 101 minutes, an appropriate length for this topic, and introduced plenty of intriguing characters. I zoned out a few times but only until something else shocking or thought-provoking grabbed my attention again. The editing successfully created a film that flowed smoothly, making what could have been perceived as a school-structured lesson an entertaining venture.
