The best example of urban guerilla filmmaking is ironically and happily also one of Hollywood's most triumphant success stories. Actor Robert Townsend (I'm Gonna Git You Sucka!) decrying the lack of good roles for black actors puts his money where his mouth is and co-scripts (with Keenen Ivory Wayans) directs and stars in this "exuberant tirelessly energetic funny appealingly mean-spirited and easy-to-like" comedy (Janet Maslin The New York Times) that took Tinseltown by storm!Actor wannabe Bobby Taylor (Townsend) dreams of landing a role any role. But in a town where the best black roles are usually jive-talkin' gangsta stereotypes Bobby learns that you have to make your own parts even if they're just in your head. Spoofing everything from Michael Jackson's "Thriller" and Eddie Murphy to Siskel & Ebert Bobby's vivid imagination and Hollywood Shuffle are "an exhilarating blast" (New York)!System Requirements:Running Time: 81 Min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: R UPC: 027616864420 Manufacturer No: 1002211. |

Tim Reid's wonderful film about life in the black neighborhood of Glen Allan, Mississippi, from the mid-'40s to the dawn of the civil rights movement, is thick with terrific, inspired actors and possessed of a mature, limpid visual style. The story is told from the point of view of a young boy raised by his stalwart grandfather and his kind aunt. But the collective tale of a community coming to terms with the risks it must take to fight racism and achieve political rights is equally important and compelling. Beautifully written (based on the autobiographical novel by Clifton Taubert), Reid's vision is rich in scenes of ritual and community that have rarely, if ever, been revealed on film. |

Thelonious Monk: Straight No Chaser. Filmmaker Bruce Ricker couldn't believe his luck. Michael and Christian Blackwood's extensive 1968 footage of the groundbreaking modern jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk including the only footage of the very private Monk off stage was in excellent condition. The reels were in Ricker's words "just sitting there like the Dead Sea Scrolls of jazz." Ricker as co-producer joins director and fellow producer Charlotte Zwerin (Gimme Shelter) executive producer Clint Eastwood and others to bring these scrolls to astonishing life. |
