THE INKWELL(1)

[RavenTheePrincess]

This movie is one of the reasons why I respect Larenz Tate so much as an actor, his versatility is just awesome! And Vanessa Bell Calloway and the woman that plays Drew's mother are two very beautiful women!

[Bitesize1991]

Larenz Tate was sexy back in the day <3

hmmm....what am i saying he still is now :)

[82BlackNotes]

Man this movie is one of the Best FEEL good movies and I bet this movie had a low budget but still sparked FLAMES!!!!

[tori0083]

it's great to see some dark skin actors; i believe all shades are beautiful from the palest to the darkest, but now and days you don't get to see this many darker shade actors in movies, and great actors at that

[KaramelSundae27]

@tori0083 Amen to that!!!!

[BlkAmerPncS]

I remember this movie like it was yesterday. Oh, those childhood days. I learned how to spell the word, "J.U.N.I.O.R. from this movie. LOL.

[halfninjaturtle]

Is this after menace?? Larenz seem so much younger

[queenytat]

omg that boi look like mj

[Princemercury90]

Omg i'm a virgin to this movie lol

[TheExlurker]

hey i love that actress that played tina turner's friend in the movie about her life...... so beautiful!

[MissAmericaof2006]

This was a great movie! I could barely remember it from a long time ago but when saw Jada Pinkett in that scene where Larenz Tate tried to ask to dance with her, grew more familiar with it! Also, there was a lot of chocolate in this film! I loved the fact that the film was surrounded by alot of our more talented Hershey's actors and actresses! As a matter of fact, I don't remember seeing any light brown complexioned to high yellow Black actors/actresses in this film! WOW! Anyone else noticed?

[simonejjones]

omgosh i soo love this movie, been looking for it everywhere...

[Legoboy251]

I was talking to myself back in summer of 1995

[Shefancyhuh1013]

[damagedone56]

Duane Martin look like. One of The Jackson 5 Brothers. I'm thinkin' Jermaine Jackson. With the afro. He's wearing. Without his mustache. Lol.

[verenee19]

[xane1990]

@aGwEENapple ikr? Glad I aint the only one who thought so. Its sooo adorable :D

[aGwEENapple]

@xane1990 Awwww! Yes. Larenz is so shy and innocent in this movie. Me and you aren't the only ones who were reminded of MJ while watching this vid.

I seen other comments referring to MJ.

Just a sweet angel! LOL

[papaman323]

i havent seen this movie in years thanks for posting it

[cloverfield00]

you can see me in movie trailer "AND THEN CAME LOVE" i'm dancing next to vanessa williams,i had a speaking role in a cancelled movie about rapper mc shan a stage play was to follow,it was talked about on B ET NEWS,i had a speaking role in an indepent film butt! i had to let it go because i had plane tickets for the B ET AWARDS which was non refundable and i had to pay for my seat at the B E T AWARDS 100 dollars although some people are invited for free or if they work for B E T they dont pay.

[cloverfield00]

i remember when matty rich did "straight out of bklyn" that was a good movie,i didnt pay attention that he directed this movie until now,i was given free movie passes to see this when it 1st came out,i have a massive interest in movie&vmusic video directors,my favorite from the 90's are lincoln c. martin,spyke lee,hype williams,paul hunter,jessey tererro,sanaa hamari,ridley scott,diane martel,etc i will come back and name the rest,this was a very good movie,director did an excellent job,bravo!

[SableEdge]

I can't believe this is Tate after m2s, looks 3 years younger then when he did that film. Have to agree with gmccall22 after looking at his other films Larenz is a first class actor.

[LorenzoMoore1000]

One my all time favorite movies.

[JustThatGrl14]

larenz tate is such a great actor :)

[donah901]

[BoondocksNumber1Fan]

What the hell HAPPEND to you O-Dog !??!??!?!?

[marieleewo]

@watAboutthat what year was this movie made?

[gmccall22]

Tate needed a role like this so he wouldn't be known as just O-Dog...His versatility is unparalled

[ithastobecatchy]

I love how his last name is Tate in the movie haha LOVE this movie. Larenz Tate is such a good actor , and a little underrated :/

[youngatheartgirl]

Larenz Tate plays such a sweet heart here and such a gangsta in Menace to Society!

[beautygurl2007]

@youngatheartgirl dat lets people know he can act really well, its kinda funny wen u watch menace to society right after watching this

[wordzofwizdom]

wasn't this called no ordinary summer?

[ImAshleyNichole1]

@wordzofwizdom ; For a title? Not that I can recall. Ever since I was a little girl, I knew it as The Inkwell. :)
