**** Good.

Hello there! I am coming to you live straight outta Punton! Yes, there will be several straight corny puns in my movie review of the music biopic "Straight Outta Compton", but please don't leave and call the pun police! Director F. Gary Gary's movie tells the tale of the late 80's gangsta rap music group N.W.A.- their rise to stardom, and the turbulence that tore the group apart. The group's infamous artists Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, and Eazy-E are the main premise of the movie. Gary's direction was not "outta this world" but it was very commendable on how he provided a integral perspective of the group's history, and its biographical tunes (I mean, tones) on Dre, Cube, and Eazy. The ensemble acting from young thespians O'Shea Jackson as Cube, Corey Hawkins as Dr. Dre, and Jason Mitchell as Eazy-E was sweet music to my ears; well, maybe not "sweet" but definitely hardcore effective. Moreover, Paul Giamatti was his usual brilliant self as group manager Jerry Heller; and the hell with all of you who think Giamatti is too loud! I guess that angry rap is getting to me. Anyways, I think it's time to "rap" this review up, before you get straight outta reading this (if you haven't already). Just keeping it straight! Outta here!
