Dangerous Minds

As I walk through the valley in the shadow of death ...  RIP to Coolio who died last week at the gone too soon age of 59! We'll miss him but continue to jam out to Gangsta's Paradise on the reg and so thought it would be fitting to watch Dangerous Minds this week! From 1995 and starring the gorg Michelle Pfeiffer, Dangerous Minds felt like a movie all the cool kids were watching what with the killer soundtrack and look at the gritty life of kids from the projects in LA and it fell into the popular cinematic theme of teacher saves "bad" kids which Hollywood loves! Well turns out these kids weren't that dangerous at all - and we were slightly underwhelmed! Where were the drugs? The guns? Sure, one kid got shot by a gang member and there was a preggo team but come on ... dangerous? We talk about how the real danger in this movie is the chain smoking - eek cigarettes are so 90s!, who are favorite troubled teen is (Team Raul!) and how we're glad they decided not to use the same title for the movie as the book this is based on - My Posse Doesn't Do Homework. Ouch.
