The Wood (Back in the Day Edition) Reviews:
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this movie.... 
2008-08-26 - I have watched this movie a million times and finally bought it recently...I love everything about this movie from the actors to the music and the connection of knowing how they feel and what they are going through....definately a must have!
This movie reminds me of growing up
2008-08-04 - The first time I watched this movie I LOVED it. The music reminds me of the 80's and 90's. The friendship in the movie is very realistic of both men and women.
The cinematography of this movie is done well because it flips between current day and then goes back in time to give you the back story.

The Wood: Back In The Day Edition 
2007-06-27 - So, I was in Wal-Mart looking specially for Black Snake Moan, and what do I happen to find; I guess Paramount decided to listen to the fans and put out a better version of the DVD to The Wood, than the now discontinued original printing (which I also own), and the re-release that they put out last year with still no special features. To my surprise, this new version features a commentary track with the director Rick Famuyiwa, and star Taye Diggs and Richard T. Jones. I had to buy it, along with BSM (not "BDSM"; ya'll are nasty!)Now, being that this commentary was recorded exactly eight years after the film was made, and being that The Wood is such a huge hit, you expect certain things about the production of the film, behind the scenes secrets to be told, etc. Really, the commentary doesn't touch that at all. Sure, they think back on the old times of making this movies, but really they don't discuss the movie. The other "features include a reburbished previouly unreleased featurette about the back story of the movie; and the theatrical trailer. Honestly, i still think that they could have done better byt including music videos from songs on the soundtrack (who didn't like 'Neck Uv Da Woods', the brilliant combination of Outkast and Mystikal), and the others. Sure, this release is better than the previous two, but as I mentioned before, this film means something to many people, and although I only paid $10 for the DVD, I really don't know if I got my money's worth.
