Mos Def

Cylk Cozart, Kathy Imrie

Warner Home Video, 2006

Bruce Willis vs David Morse
"16 Blocks" is an excellent good cop-bad cop-thriller: briskly paced, with an intelligent script, impressive performances by Bruce Willis, Mos Def and David Morse, intense big-city atmosphere and superb direction and production. It doesn't re-invent the cop thriller, ...

Lackawanna Blues

S. Epatha Merkerson, Marcus Carl Franklin

Hbo Home Video, 2005

Great Film-making!
I absolutely LOVE this movie. Great story, directing and all-star cast. S. Epatha Merkerson was remarkable and needs more roles she can sink her teeth into. She makes it look so natural. Love her.

Be Kind Rewind

Jack Black, Mos Def

New Line Cinema, 2008

A nice homage to filmmaking.
I got this film on Blu-ray and decided to review it. Be Kind Rewind was an unusual film directed by Michael Gondry, the French director who made a couple of music videos for artists like Bjork so he has a certain style and visual flair which he also uses in his films, ...

Monster's Ball

Billy Bob Thornton, Taylor Simpson

Lions Gate, 2002

An utterly depressing, but truly unforgettable movie
I was given Monster's Ball absolutely ages ago, but as usual, I have a build up of DVDs and never seem to get around to watching some of them. (Here's an idea - stop buying, start watching!) Then of course there was the death of Heath Ledger, and it never seemed like ...

Brown Sugar

Rick Famuyiwa does it again with this sweet love story
Rick Famuyiwa continues to show his talent to Hollywood in the sweet Brown Sugar. Rick Famuyiwa who burst on to the scene with the vastly underrated The Wood in 1999 has made a charming film that couples, hip hop heads and anyone just looking for a good film can enjoy. ...

Something the Lord Made

New Line Cinema, 2001

The Divine Comedy
This is the most provocative film Spike Lee made about racism & how the american entertainment industry has treated the image of Africans in america. I love to watch old movies from the early years in black & white even until today; the pattern is still the same. There ...
