Shaft (2000)
Sloppy Movie with a terrible message
Did this black director have to create a white villain whose villainy was essentially racial hatred? Couldn't he have been a little more creative than that? Would it have been possible to have at least two good white guys in the movie? Does Singleton really believe that justice in America is unavailable to people of color? This movie joins a parade of films recently that endorses anti-white, anti-establishment vigilante violence. It ain't cute and it ain't funny. In the end it sows the seeds of ongoing racial alienation and hatred. But I'll bet John Grishom loved it.
The Last Late Night (2000)
Hilarious and surprising
It starts a little slowly, but the characters are well developed and the dialogue pulls you in. The language is a little rough, but it fits the characters. Watching it with a film festival audience at a sold-out screening was especially fun, because the writer/director, Scott Barlow, is a first timer, and the audience response had to thrill him. This guy will be heard from again. Great first effort and a movie that I would strongly recommend to friends.
