Review: 'Notorious'
![There are many things that can be said about Biggie Smalls, the rapper officially known as the Notorious B.I.G., who was gunned down in a hail of bullets on Wilshire Boulevard in 1997 when he was just 24. But the one that fits best on his massive frame is a slight one: flow. <b>¶</b> Flow was there in his rhymes, a hypnotic seduction of words weaving and teasing around you like the perpetual haze trailing from his blunts. It was there in the deep rumble of his voice, in the slow, liquid roll of his body as he moved. And it is there in Jamal Woolard, the young rapper who plays him in "Notorious," a performance that goes a long way toward saving a movie that has fallen obsessively in love with its subject. <b>¶</b> Mad, blind love is always a hazard in films that fashion themselves as biographies. No detail of a life too small, no moment left behind. In "Notorious," director George Tillman Jr. and screenwriters Reggie Rock Bythewood and Cheo Hodari Coker have fallen right into the pit alongside so many who have come before them.](http://www.latimes.com/media/thumbnails/story/2009-01/44542791-15152104.jpg "There are many things that can be said about Biggie Smalls, the rapper officially known as the Notorious B.I.G., who was gunned down in a hail of bullets on Wilshire Boulevard in 1997 when he was just 24.

'Roll Bounce'
![Teen pictures in which kids square off in a competition form a genre unto themselves, yet the warm and wise "Roll Bounce" confounds all expectations. Writer Norman Vance Jr. and director Malcolm D. Lee dare to suggest that winning may not be everything, that a father-and-son relationship may actually be more important than a skate-off, and that it's possible to set a film in 1978 without drowning it in nostalgia and dated fads. "Roll Bounce" sports Afros and bell-bottoms yet doesn't overdo them and always has the feeling of happening in the here and now.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2005-09/19606119.jpg "Teen pictures in which kids square off in a competition form a genre unto themselves, yet the warm and wise "Roll Bounce\" confounds all expectations.

'Barbershop 2: Back in Business'
!["Barbershop 2: Back in Business" is that rare sequel — one worthy of its original. "Barbershop," set in a vintage Chicago South Side tonsorial parlor, was a hilarious and ingratiating hit last year, its box office no doubt helped by a flap over Cedric the Entertainer, as the shop's senior barber, making some outrageously politically incorrect remarks about such African American icons as Rosa Parks. (Never mind that everyone else in the shop was appalled; the whole point is that a neighborhood barber shop is a traditional forum of free speech, no matter how ridiculous or abhorrent.)](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2004-02/11293635.jpg ""Barbershop 2: Back in Business\" is that rare sequel — one worthy of its original. \"Barbershop,\" set in a vintage Chicago South Side tonsorial parlor, was a hilarious and ingratiating hit last year, its box office no doubt helped by a flap over Cedric the Entertainer, as the shop's senior barber, making some outrageously politically incorrect remarks about such African American icons as Rosa Parks.
