I'm Through with White Girls (2007)
Amazing film that won't stop winning awards.
I just saw this film in the theaters last weekend at the Hollywood Black Film Festival where it won best feature. This is no surprise as movie executives were emailing their offices while watching the film in the theater regarding distributing the picture to theaters and DVD. The script is captivatingly funny and you become really drawn into the characters. Lead actress Lia Johnson (who also is a producer on the film) was engaging and stole every scene she was in. I had seen the film prior during earlier cuts and noticed that there is a huge difference seeing it in theaters. The patrons were completely drawn in. For those of you who do not know, it is a romantic comedy about a black man who never dated a black woman and now essentially swears off of white women to see if he truly is color struck. The social commentary is there, but it is fun. Go see it immediately.
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)
The guy at the rental place was wrong.
I saw this movie on a flight from Ft. Lauderdale to Atlanta, having watched most of it in the Ft. Lauderdale airport. This movie was horrible if you are too high browed or have completely no sense of humor. The guy in the airport DVD rental thingy type place said it was horrible and he couldn't even get through it. Knowing how incredibly stupid I am, I had to see it.
I haven't laughed that hard in a long long long time, watching a movie.
Rental attendant: "It's horrible, it's like 'Elf'!" Me: "I LOVED ELF!" Rental attendant: "Okay, you MIGHT like this one."
I'm not even feeling elf right now, Anchorman was so much better. "I'm going to punch you in the ovaries" and "Oh gosh! It smells like Bigfoot's d*ck!" are two lines that show you where the comedy is in this movie. Don't expect any intelligent humor here, it's gone, regardless of what these actors are capable of. Just sit back and ALLOW the sheer stupidity to wash over you. I give this a movie a 10, because for what it is -- a stupid slapstick comedy -- it's up there with Airplane. Basically, it's airplane, just not as stupid, and more funny. Police Squad with better quality comedy.
