Much change in Biggie Smalls’ neighborhood
NEW YORK – In rapper Biggie Smalls' old Brooklyn neighborhood, the building that once housed a coin laundry is now a plastic surgeon's office. A block away, a wine bar sells "artisanal" cheeses and meats. Much has changed where the late superstar spent all but a few years of his life and sometimes sold crack cocaine before spinning vivid tales of his street exploits into millions of record sales. "It's completely different," said Voletta Wallace, Smalls' mother, who moved into the area in 1969 and lef

Notorious Reviews
All over the map: "...a luridly unapologetic trip through the violence, hunger, verbal bravado, and money fever of the hip-hop world, which it views as both liberating and destructive (often for the same reasons)." -- Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly "A great rapper deserves a great biopic, but B.I.G. fans will have to settle for this merely passable one." -- Nathan Rabin, Onion AV Club "If there's something praiseworthy about Notorious, it's that it pulls off the remarkable, ignominious

Biggie Still Gettin' Folk Shot
Some fool got hisself shot at a screening of the new Biggie Smalls biopic Notorious. Details are sketchy but it appears the victim was a punk-ass bitch or perhaps even a bitch-ass punk. Jamal Woolard, dude who plays Biggie in the movie, was at the theater at the time of the shooting but missed taking any lead. Evidently, the negative vibes Biggie spread throughout his life have yet to entirely disperse.

FILM OF THE WEEK: Ad Lib Night
Trying to stay a hop ahead of the cultural curve, my Friday column has been designated for shiny new releases or retrospectives each week, but considering my best options were a humdrum biopic on Biggie Smalls, a 3-D remake of an '80s slasher flick (don't get me wrong, I'll see this year's Snakes on a Plane , but how commendable could it possibly be?), and a shallow Ozu homage from Germany, I've decided to dip into the GreenCine DVD catalog and pull out a recent-ish, little-seen gem tha
