Homies 2: Locked Outside

Homies 2: Locked Outside – Full God Dang Movie!!

Sometimes you just get given a treat, a real tasty little tit-bit that pops up and says “Hi, how are ya? I’m just here to say: POW, BAM, THWOK KABLAMOW, now don’t eat it all at once ‘coz you won’t get another for a while”.

Well this is one of those times. Those crazy, gangster steezy, french dudes over at Homies have given us their entire movie to enjoy. We have been sampling some of the funky tuned bonus action over the last week but now you have the whole thing. So grab your pop-corn, maybe a beverage too and sit back and enjoy some jibbing shredding and general gnarliness that comes a season ‘en France’ and the surrounds when you are really quite good at snowboarding.

Enjoy.

Last night I watched this movie.When I borowed it, I was a little bit skeptic.I tought will be another wanna be american drama movie.BUT I WAS WRONG, FOR THE FIRST TIME FROM A LONG TIME, I AM SO HAPPY THAT I WAS WRONG!

The movie is from Jordan, rarely that kind of movies, go to USA, or even Europe.We must be thankful to Amin Matalqa who written and directed this beautiful story.

I am not really good in explaining movies, so I will just write you what 2 people think about it.And IT WILL BE ENOUGH!

“A humanistic triumph…a stirring tribute to the invisible people in our world who might end up changing our lives.” – Stephen Farber from “The Hollywood Reporter”

“Feels like something Dickens might have written, if he had lived in the cinema age: it’s both tear-jerking and oddly spiritual.” – Lee Marshalll from “Screen Daily”
