The last time I saw Ice Cube in a serious dramatic role, the movie was Boyz N the Hood. Since then, the former rapper has appeared in a string of forgettable flicks playing a variation of the same character. In The Longshots, due out Aug. 22, he plays father-figure and coach to Keke Palmer (Akeelah and the Bee). Based on the trailer, it looks like both of these actors have done a lot of maturing since we've last seen them, and together, they'll give us a story that's worth something. The only wild car is the director: Fred Durst.
