Stomp the Yard (2007)
A Greek's approval !!!
First, I would like to start by saying that the plot is very predictable. OK, before fans automatically place me in the "HATER" category, I really did like this movie! As a alumni of a HBCU it was nice to see a movie that at least attempted to depict the college life of a black student. Of course, there were certain things that were exaggerated. For example the attitude of the Greek organizations. Not all Greeks consider themselves superior. I was pleased that the movie touched on the brother/sisterhood that exist in black Greek letter organizations. I will be the first in line to add this movie to my collection. I gave this movie a 10!
Akeelah and the Bee (2006)
A true work of art!!!!!!
Akeelah and the Bee is a great movie for the family. It's long overdue to see a movie about the African-American community that does not center around pimps, rapping or drugs in any way. I don't say this without reservation. As a African American aspiring actor, I realize that those are the parts that are written about and for us. That what makes this movie special, it shows that we as a people can rally behind a good cause. I can only hope that I will one day have the opportunity to showcase my talent in a feature such as this. The young actress portraying the title character is a great find. I can see she will be around for quite a while. Lawrence Fishborne did a wonderful job with this film. He became more than just a talent, but a wonderful producer as well. Be sure to catch this on DVD!!!
A Must see for all!!!!!
