20th Century Cube aren't immune to hip hop. When we're not talking films at the Cube you'll usually find us in a smoke-filled Benz, nodding out to some Wu Tang. Because of this, we had no difficulty selecting Ghost Dog for March. It's a Mafiosi/Samurai/Hip-Hop hybrid from 1999: Forest Whitaker is the hit man with a code. RZA provides the score. And Jim Jarmusch's script and directorial otherness takes care of the rest. It's poetry. The poetry of war.
