it was whining in my opinion because at every opportunity from the beginning he was always in a position of weakness with her. She just always came across as the stronger of the two. Did the exchange sound real-yes, but normally it is the female sounding so vulunerable. of course it...

I have to admit to being one of the few who did not particularly care for Open Water after anxiously awaiting it. Between the novice actors, the husband's whining "are you mad at me!, and director beating me over the head with how the head count was bothched - I just wanted to put on a shark...

Nope Jeff you are not alone - looking forward to the disc. They did such a wonderful job on The Color Purple - too bad they did nto make this a two disc set.;)

David - sadly your comment is so true. While it is true Fox Searchlight butchered the distribution on Antwone Fisher I remember talking with the manager the weekend the film finally went wide - audiences were choosing National Security instead.

yes at it looks very sexy - ok the actor looks very sexy :D I'm looking forward to the screening next week i think.

I hope this clarifies that. Mike M also indicated I should edit my post - and I agree but I am not as skilled at using HTF features and I thought when i as on the site last year there was a feature that allowed you to preview your post before sending it. Excuse my not following list...

The Color Purple & Malcolm X !!!

We'll have to agree to disagree on that one, Ruth. Paul - if I had said that I would agree to disagree :) I was acutally referring to Biker Boyz. Am I missing something fellas but black males do star in action films all the time - will smith has several, sam jackson has several, the rock...

EXCELLENT POINT and actually i've never considered the correlation between tv dramas and films...i can only remember one drama and it was about three years ago with blair underwood and v. foxx - first season was good, but then they took the characters in crazy directions and chose bad times for...

i appreciate the suggestion but as a black woman I AM SICK TO DEATH OF SLAVE STORIES.....we have made enough contributions to this country that you can find some other darn story to tell.

on problem is that this was a BAD movie...javascript:smilie(';)')

yes but it was actually a surprise sucess. they did not expect such a response....and it was the #1 film at least one week, maybe two weeks in a row.

not sure i understand - why does it have to be a historical movie? i'd rather see another soul food or antwone fisher than just black history. or is your point that only historical films gnerally fall in the epic genre - if so i understand.

Kyle said: actualy there are plenty of black writers - they just don't have jobs in hollywood except to make drivel like head of state or sitcoms. Also, i want to know when blacks with more than enough $$$$$ and some measure of clout will come together and at least form a solid...

Max said: Because movies are the most signifcant form of art America general shares with the world - and the lack of others in signifcant films (oscar type movies) demonstrates in a subtle way the perceived insignifance of non-c.

your argument is only partial correct - films starring blacks have made major money - that is why we have barbershop 2 this weekend, and beauty shop later this spring ---- as well as THREE other beauty shop type films (made by different studios). THE PUBLIC generally will rush to see blacks...

unfortunately that is the case - look at a film like antwone fisher and it's lukewarm results. the color purple is the closest we've come.

I watched this movie for about the 5th time last night. Two scenes still crack me up - "get him out of here" and boxing scene. Normally i hate crude movies and black comedies but this is a new christmas classic. (can you believe it's a wonderful life is one of my all time favorities - forgive...

I'll post a review on Basic later tonight.

[font=Arial Narrow][size=3]Well, seeing that you have a deadline of 6/04 I guess I'll take the challenge. I'm probably biting off more than I can chew as I'm tackling the S&S list too, but hey I have no life anyway and after seeing 150+ 2002 movies, I really want to see good movies for a change...

Citzen Kane and Color Purple

Aks and ye shall receive! Thank you Paul for so quickly looking into my order and letting me know that a replacement disc is on its way. Ruth Ferguson

This DVD was a disappointment, last fall i saw both the korean film and the ring and enjoyed both. For me they really were scary, and the american version of course explained more than the first film. However the dvd was dismal with virtually no extras, the transfer is good, but this is not a...

I never received my copy.

I'm new to the game and have nearly a 100, have watched probably only 30% because lately I'm getting them too fast to keep up.

The film was ok --- esp. the two leads, but for me the movie lost it's energy when they brought in the redhead for a jealousy factor. Are Hugh and Sandra scheduled to work on another movie also?
