Movie Reviews of Foxy Brown
Movie Review: Great Pulp!!
Summary: 4 Stars
Great DVD. Beautiful, widescreen picture and a fun story. You don't measure a movie like this by "Citizen Kane" standards; you measure it by Joe Bob drive-in standards; and by that measure, "Foxy Brown" makes the grade. You get Foxy bullwhipped around the neck and dragged; you get the riot scene in the ... bar; you get the judge humiliated by call girls before the ladies auxiliary; you get Foxy shooting her two-timing, dope-selling brother in the ear. Oh, it gets better, but you'll have to see the movie to find out how.Movie Review: Trashy, but fun.
Summary: 4 Stars
Blaxploitation films of the 1970's never claimed to be either socially conscious or for the politically correct. Yet, they're not without their place in pop culture. Although many people prefer "Coffy," "Foxy Brown" is my favorite Pam Grier picture. Although they could have done a slighly better job with the transfer, fans of 1970s action won't even think of missing this DVD. Trashy fun.Movie Review: Foxy Brown Super Grit
Summary: 4 Stars
There's some real baddies who deserve everything they get in this blaxploitation classic and who better to dish it out than super foxy Pam Grier and friends. Not as fast paced and a bit uglier than say 'Coffy' but still well worth a look.Movie Review: Bodacious
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie flat rocks. I love Black explotation movies, and this one is near the top. Pam Grier has so much sex apeal and attitudeshe takes over this movie like a run away train. Loads of fun.
Movie Review: A Cornerstone of the Blaxploitation Movement
Summary: 3 Stars
For better or worse, this movie is a classic.
As is the case with most of the blaxploitation
genre, if you're looking for depth and artistic
value, good luck and keep moving. But if you're in
the market for thoughtless, fun media,
BINGO!!!
I actually like this film, mainly because it's
a signature showcase for Pam Grier. She
combines brutal, sometimes psychotic strength
with a vulnerable, loveable sweetness.
She evokes compassion while also
satifsying the viewer's need for
vicarious revenge. Furthermore,
the ample display of flesh leaves
no question that she is indeed
a Woman foremost, and a vengeful
psychopath second.
Some of the scenes in this film are
too long, thus taking away from the total
action. Although there is
sufficient violence, I wish we could
see a more physical Foxy.
The fight sequences are basic and rudimentary.
Also, the final scene where she gets revenge
against the Lady Pimp is great! It is also a big
letdown because by this point in the film our
claws are sharpened, our fangs are bared, and
we're all panting rabidly for blood. And all we get is a flesh wound and poetic rhetoric
("Death is too good for you , BITCH!!
I want you to suffer.....) Oh well (I think
all the actors suffered professionally from
this venture, minus the Foxy archetype herself,
of course).
Overall, I would recommend this film. It's a fun flick.
With all of its faults you still won't be disappointed.
Buy this.
