The Family That Preys (2008)
This movie was the bomb.
I saw this last night and it was THE BOMB! TP has outdone himself and in my opinion, this is the best one yet. I want to see it again. And I'll PAY to see it again. It will have you rolling, it will make you mad, it will make you CHEER and yell at the screen. And that Sanaa Lathan played the heck out of this part. She rocked it. Heck, they all did. Loved it! Go head on, Tyler! All TP movies are interactive experiences and this was no exception. My brother lives in St. Louis. He went to see it last night, too & we agree. The ending should have been extended some, but all of it was dynamic and useful. ...loved this movie. ...just loved it.
Why Did I Get Married? (2007)
Fabulous! I've seen it twice already!
I laughed, I cried, I yelled at the screen. My husband did the same. This movie was spectacular. It's Tyler's best yet.
I was especially impressed with two particular actresses: Tasha Smith and Jill Scott.
I SO enjoyed Tasha's character because she was straight-forward, unafraid, brash and protective of and loyal to her friends. Tasha played this to the hilt. She worked it and I don't think anyone could have played this role better.
Jill Scott, whose career I've followed for many years, turns out to be a phenomenal actress, too! You go, Girl! She laid it down. She owned this role-- the pain, the disrespect, the long-suffering, the faith and hope, and ultimately, the joy and strength that comes partly from having a heart for God and a healthy and humble love of self and that of a good man. She floored me. I knew she was deep, but I didn't know she could take it there!!!! Tyler has outdone himself. This movie didn't need Madea, although I look forward to seeing her on screen again.
This movie was just beautiful from beginning to end. I especially like the way Tyler doesn't hold back the harshness of unpleasantness that is sometimes ever present in marriages in need of some revamping (i.e.- counseling, communication, and yes, even divorce). LOL.
My husband and I kept looking at each other laughing because some of those couples reminded us of ourselves and how quirky and sometimes ridiculous we are.
Keep it coming, Tyler. You've earned a fan for life.
