Directrospective: ABDUCTION (2011)
In Singleton’s defense, I don’t think he planned for this to be his final film.
Directrospective: 2 FAST 2 FURIOUS (2003)
Sure, it’s probably the worst in the series, but that title is undeniable.
Directrospective: BABY BOY (2001)
This belated-coming-of-age drama is John Singleton’s last great film.
Directrospective: SHAFT (2000)
Unfortunately, I cannot dig John Singleton’s relaunch of the bad mothershutyourmouth.
Directrospective: ROSEWOOD (1997)
John Singleton’s fourth film is a forgotten historical epic about a forgotten atrocity.
Directrospective: HIGHER LEARNING (1995)
Singleton’s third film tries to figure out what a college movie for the 1990s should look like (and mostly succeeds).
Directrospective: POETIC JUSTICE (1993)
John Singleton’s follow-up to BOYZ N THE HOOD is a sweet road movie that lets the heavier stuff stay in the background.
Directrospective: BOYZ N THE HOOD (1991)
John Singleton’s debut feature is a hood melodrama about what it means to be a man.
