Ranunculus ( /ræˈnʌŋkjʊləs/) is a large genus of about 600 species of plants in the Ranunculaceae. Members of the genus include the buttercups, spearworts, water crowfoots and the lesser celandine.
They are mostly herbaceous perennials with bright yellow or white flowers (if white, still with a yellow centre); some are annuals or biennials. A few species have orange or red flowers. There are usually five petals, but sometimes six, numerous, or none, as in R. auricomus. The petals are often highly lustrous, especially in yellow species. Buttercups usually flower in the spring, but flowers may be found throughout the summer, especially where the plants are growing as opportunistic colonisers, as in the case of garden weeds.
The Water crowfoots (Ranunculus subgenus Batrachium), which grow in still or running water, are sometimes treated in a separate genus Batrachium. They have two different leaf types, thread-like leaves underwater and broader floating leaves. In some species, such as R. aquatilis, a third, intermediate leaf type occurs.

Plot: This film, The Jose Lucas Story, is said to be based on a fictionalized account of a particular string of criminal exploits, leading to the arrest, conviction, incarceration, and too sudden death of one, Jose Lucas, a local Brooklyn kid whose early life reads like a Dicken's novel, and ends like a classic Shakespearean tragedy. He's convicted and given a 23-year prison sentence for having been a perpetrator in a notorious day-time jewelry heist in toney, downtown Georgetown, Washington, DC.(2005) Lucas had managed to be caught on a security camera with his homeboy Lex (the one who actually used the gun, shot the shop's jeweler, and managed also, to be un-masked on camera) by design of the other two culprits, Robert and 'E," who when arrested later, in another robbery, make a deal with the DA to escape the heavy sentences given Jose and Lex (who got 24 years as the shooter) by giving them up. The film attempts to get at the story behind that conviction, which many believed resulted in a grossly unfair sentence. After having accepted that Jose has lost in court, they had hoped to fight the verdict; Jose's defense did file and lose several appeals. They had settled into the reality that most residents-of- color in Brooklyn find themselves: that of having a loved one incarcerated.

Genres: Comedy, Short,Said hey I found a pretty little Buttercup
While I was walking one day
And she was such a pretty little buttercup
I saw her walking one day
I said, "Hey, you're such a pretty little buttercup
I'd like to take you away... but oh!
You're such a pretty little buttercup
I don't believe that you'd stay"
NO WAY!
So I said, "And so my pretty little buttercup
I'll take you out on a date
And if you 'll be my pretty little buttercup
I 'll pick you up around 8"
NO WAY!
So, I came to pick her up just like I 'd said...
That Friday night, around 8
And I'd never seen a prettier little buttercup
Than the one I saw on that day
I said, "Hey, you 're such a pretty little
Buttercup I'd like to take you away
But oh! You're such a pretty little buttercup
I don't believe that you'd stay"
