If you enjoy Spike Lee movies and his jazzy background musical scores, then you'll enjoy Mo Better Blues. It allows you to enjoy the music as part of the movie and not only as a background...
In the midst of the recent Eastwood-Lee controversy, I feel that I should submit this review. When Eastwood's "Bird" came out, Lee disparaged Clint because of the fact he was White and had no...
This movie is only Ok in my book. It has great production values, spirited performances and striking actors. The trouble is the story isn't one that I come to care about. The characters seem to...
For history and English, I use this dvd to supplement my lessons. As a high-school teacher for English foundations and/or American History for resource students, I must utilize movies as a visual...
That's a stupid and inappropriate cover. (by the way, the movie's great and it was a travesty that Denzel didn't win and then he won for that disgusting stupid police movie - evn Crimson Tide was...
I am a huge fan of the book, but the movie has so many flaws that it left me hungry for a better film. The good: The acting by Denzel Washington is great. He brings life to a man that most of us...
I thoght it was just alright it could been better.
I thought that janet jackson part in the movie didn't really give a strong plot really at all. I felt that Tupac acting was better than Janet and the part with Regins King.If your bored at home...
This movie is highly under-rated. It is a "love conquers all" story that is beautifully written. The film is a surprise which covers the break-up of a seemingly cute-and-cuddly couple Iesha and...
today I watched Devil in a Blue Dress on cable (satellite actually, but that's not the point...). while the headliner of the movie was the excellent-as-usual Denzel Washington, what makes this...
Denzel Washington stars as "Easy" Rawlins, a down-on-his-luck factory worker in 1948 Los Angeles. Easy has just lost his job and desperately wants to keep his house. When he's approached by...
Despite all the critical praise, `Devil in a Blue Dress' never found an audience, or so says the Amazon review. Honesty, I agree with the audience and not the critics. The main problem I had with...
Though the plot doesn't always work, especially around the caper scenes, Dead Presidents is an effective and worthy look at what happens when men come back from war into...
I just watched this movie again after several years. I remember I liked it the first time, but it wasn't as good as Menace II Society. After watching it again last night I realized that this movie...
o-dog moves out of da pacific ghetto 2 da altantic ghetto
da dead president is a great movie larenz tate acts well n this movie along with chris tucker acted well but more noted for his comedy ability he did both n this movie larenz tate plays (anthony...
Many teachers in today's school systems must feel helpless. Years ago there was the threat of corporal punishment, if not the actual fear of parent retaliation. Now, however, children are...
"187" does not provide the viewer with a realistic insight into America's schools. Science teachers do not stalk students and then drop them with morphine injections, launched from a bow. But I...
Glis was very frapper. She had denarpen Farfie's mardsen. She couldn't galp a giberter for Farfie. Instead she wharked to plimp a mardsen binky for him.
The Godfather segment gave me a stomach spasm.....
He tells a joke about Tessio asking Tom Hagen for a pass (from the movie, The Godfather) and Tom nodding no. Now, i don't want to break the joke to you if not heard, but trust me its unbelievably...
Pryor is obviously a skilled comedian. He has the audience eating out of his hand from beginning to end. The concert takes place in 1982. The audience appears to have been born between 1942 and...
I purchased this DVD off the used rack after the man passed away. I feel bad about his death, not that I had anything to do with it or anything, but it's always sad to see a genius of the comic...
To begin, House Party 2 is no House Party. In fact, those that would like to compare the two are completely off their hypothetical film "rocker". These are two completely separate films. Do you...
almost as good as 1 but isn't because every1 is all grown up
i still enjoyed da sequel a lot i miss kid pop he was tough but still cool y did he have 2 die in da movie and in while life da black no hair man from rocky 1 through 5 was here in this movie he...
i think the movie was great i love this movie so much i just brought it again because i lost my other copy but anyway i love the movie its is off the chain
Alfred Woodard was the only good quality about this film. She's a wonderful actress that can make even a horrible role interesting. In short this is just another Spike Lee---message to society like...
Before purchasing the video, I had seen this film 10 times. It's one of the most funniest films I've ever seen. The dialog and acting is great. All of the people in this film were funny. I...
I bought this movie for a friend who just loved it. I on the other hand think it was mediocre. Other than a handful of funny "one-liners" this movie leaves little to be desired. High point of...
this was a cute date movie or a movie where you might want to invite a guy over to look at as you eat chineese food with some plum wine. As a Jamie Foxx lover this movie would have suffered if he...
The movie had it's funny moments..very few that is. AJ Johnson as usual should really be the star of the show (as he was in Baller Blockin'(hotboyz movie) and alot of other "straight to...
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE OUT OF YOUR MIND IF YOU DON'T THINK THAT THIS MOVIE IS FUNNY, AJ JOHNSON IS A REALLY FUNNY GUY AND MASTER P IS NOT A BAD ACTOR BUT THIS MOVIE GAVE ME ALOT OF LAUGHS, JUST SIT...
I thought this movie was gonna be so good. But I was wrong. It had some funny parts, but the end lost me. That was the dumbest part of the movie. I must give props to A.J. Johnson. If it...
Very eerily similar to Obama situation. I mean avoiding negative campaign. The hate, the black man thing, i mean its amazing... "If i quit, the whole black race can't run for 50 years."
Head Of State is a pretty funny movie from the not always funny Chris Rock. With history possibly getting ready to be made in Novemeber this film is a true testament of what goes on in poltics....
Okay, I like Chris Rock... a little... well, maybe not. But reguardless, this movie is horrible. If Bill Muray all of a sudden turned black, and he landed the role, this movie would STILL be awful....
Paul Mooney is amazing! I knew he wrote for Richard Pryor and I had seen segments of him on Chappelles Show, he's hilarious. And for people that think he's racist they really need to grow up and...
I really liked this special. Paul Mooney is hysterical. His delivery is perfection and his stage presence is masterful. He commands the audience like NO OTHER! Very, Very, Very funny stuff.
Hmmm....ok, where do i start? Let's start with the good. I think Paul Mooney can often times be very, very funny. I used to work at a comedy club, and have seen him perform at least 50 times live....
Great documentary. Dave Chappelle really shows his true self
This is a great docu on Dave Chapelle's life and career. Definitely pick this up. Dave talks about life in DC, teenage years, breaking into comedy and the explosive success of the Dave...
This DVD is not one of my favorites of the series. It's actually the worst of the four in the series. Sherri Shepherd needs more material. Half of her routine consisted of her imitating her...
The other reviewer and I have the same opinion. The other ones were ok but this one made me laugh hard!! I think I'm going to buy just this one on dvd because it's that good! Must see for any...
Cicely Tyson is one of the world's greatest actresses!
Cicely Tyson is one of the greatest actresses in the world at least in my opinion. In this film, she carries elder Flora Henning Palmer with grace, dignity, class, strength and beauty despite the...
Stereotypes abound in the fly-by epic of Mama Flora's Family
MAMA FLORA'S FAMILY is a sweeping chronicle of seventy years in the life and descendants of one Flora Henning Palmer. Cicely Tyson who seems to be forever cast in these roles portrays the adult...
I very disappointed because I saw the movie on TV and wanted to add it to my video collection. But the video I ordered did not have the whole movie on it and I think you should have made it clear...
This film give a brief but interesting look at the hardships and problems that these individuals suffered as a result of their race instead of their abilities. While there is a footnote to the fact...
I was extremely happy with my purchase of the Tuskagee Aiman as I hunted high and low and Amazon was the only one that had it ,so you can understand how happy I was when I put it in the DVD player...
One cannot help but compare this to Glory: called upon to risk their lives, these pioneering African-Americans are blocked at every turn by arrogant whites, which in fact happened, and they...
I had to buy this movie to watch it for school. I was shocked by the real-life story that this movie depicts. It's a great movie to watch, especially for those in healthcare to see how research...
I enjoyed this movie, and watched it several times. It's an interesting story, but it doesn't really ring true to me. There were too many "Happy Coon" moments in the film for me to be able to...
This inspirational, strong, sad, and uplifting story reflects life in brooklyn, and it is just so good. I am a huge spike lee fan and this is one of his top 5 in my mind, incredible. I Love this...
Other than Denzel Washington's performance, the movie is horrible, 1 star quality. However, I bump it up to 2 stars for the movie score...it's amazing. This movie introduced me to Aaron Copland...
"He Got Game" is another solid outing for director Spike Lee. He paints a realistic picture of life for a inner city basketball phenom and its many demands and pressures. Ray Allen isn't as...
Tell me what you think of this plot: A child comes back to life to confront the mother who cut her throat, only she is a grown woman, but still talks like a child. Meanwhile this so-called ghost...
One of the most underrated films of the last 25 years
"Beloved" was never meant to be an easy story -- certainly not for its subject matter, nor for its narrative structure, but its power lies in both. Part ghost story, part history, part love story,...
incredible cinamatography and outstanding performances and intentions do not an great film make . unfortunately , this film is like the scriptures . when you figure it out , please tell me . JUST...
I watched this movie on cable because the theater run was very short, as usual for many serious black films. This movie struck an emotional part of my psyche and I cried. Not because of the...
Instead of going from picture to picture they go from picture to blank screen and by the end this movie is so pathetic that it takes a min... just to see what is going to happen next. This movie is...
What a Load?!?!?! (I only gave it one because I HAD to...
Ok, To all the people who gave this movie good reviews, you all need to get off your acid trips! My boy bought this movie for us and it's better used as a glass coaster. The movie is choppy and...
This movie was so sexy! Everything about it turned me on LOL....The whole mysterious stranger plot was very exciting. The thing I loved most about this movie was it was not predictable and the...
"Uninvited Guest" is like a low-budget, "who's scamming whom," black version of "The Grifters." Make no mistake; this movie does not belong in the same class with the best of the contemporary...
I saw this movie when it was released and not again till last night. I was a fan of John Singleton's work and understood from interviews that his movies up to this point were his own "triology" of...
Clumsy movie that makes excuses for irresponsible Black men.
John Singleton's baby Boy attempt to make a comment on the state of young black men in Los Angeles. However this irresponsible movie tends to glorify the irresponsible behavior of its male...
Excellent movie showing the hardship of people and how they can affect an entire community and country. Problems within inner city life must be addressed or more individuals will end up in gangs...
2.5 stars. Nice try, but I wasn't buying Jamie as Tookie. I know the filmmakers are trying to convince the audience that Mr. Williams had paid his debt to society or that he had redeemed himself...
I HATE HEARING THIS HYPE OVER STANLEY WILLIAMS! THIS MOVIE PROTRAYS HIM AS A CHANGED MAN, BUT THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE. WILLIAMS HAS NEVER ADMITTED WHAT HE DID. AS ARNOLD SAID IN HIS DENIAL OF...
A Gathering of Old Men is magnificent on many levels. To start with it has an all STAR cast. While you may not have heard of many of the senior Black actors in this movie, make no mistake about...
Anyone who doesn't appreciate the effectiveness of this movie has never lived in Louisiana. The complicated relationships between the races is perfectly depicted in the characters of Candy, Mathu,...
I rented this movie(if thats what you want to call it) years ago because of the actors. I've never laughed so hard watching anything like this in my entire life. Words like laughable,...
