The great rapper/thespian Snoop Doggy Dogg has apparently grown up. In "Bones," as with the other two films he has appeared
in this year, he is credited as Snoop Dogg. That silly "doggy dogg" thing must have undermined his great dramatic skills and made people take him less seriously as an artist. I'm kidding, of course. Snoop Dogg cannot act. He has no range or depth. He is only menacing, and even then, only vaguely so. He helps confirm my theory that no film has ever been improved by the presence of a rapper. Mr. Dogg is the lead, more or less, in "Bones." He plays Jimmy Bones, a drug-dealer who was killed in 1979 but now, in whatever year this is (they keep saying "20 years ago," so maybe it's 1999), he seems to have been reawakened.
