Movie Reviews of Lackawanna Blues
Movie Review: Great movie with superb actors
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this movie starring S. Epatha Merkerson, Terrence Howard, Lou Gosset, Mos Def, Macy Gray, Jimmy Smits, and Marcus Carl Franklin and others. The acting was superb. Terrence Howard and S. Epatha Merkerson made their roles very believable. Growing up in the Black neighborhoods, there was always a grandmotherly type whom everyone trusted, and could go to whenever they had a need. They would always look out for others in the neighborhood who were down and out.
I can watch this movie over and over.
Movie Review: NOT FOR KIDS -- COLLECT IT
Summary: 5 Stars
GREAT MOVIE, VERY ENTERTAINING---S. Epatha Merkerson is awesome. LACKAWANNA BLUES REMINDS ONE THAT YOUR EDUCATIONAL LEVEL OR LACK THEREOF CAN NOT AND SHOULD NOT STOP YOU FROM SUCCEEDING IN LIFE.
KEEP IT REAL AND LET YOUR HEART BE WHAT THIS MOVIE IS ABOUT.
ONCE AGAIN---NOT FOR KIDS, HOT HOT SCENES THAT MAKE IT SEEM MORE REALISTIC BECAUSE SOME WOMEN CAN GET LOW DOWN AND DIRTY, RIGHT IN YOUR FACE.
MUST SEE, YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.
Movie Review: " ... takin' me home"
Summary: 5 Stars
If ever there was a movie that I could identify my childhood with, this is the one. Our little street in the Bronx had a "Nannie" that took in and took care of folks who needed someone to look after them, family or not. This is the movie that would help a generation see what the "village" was like. At the heart of it all was the neighborhood "Nannie" that we can look back on with fond memories and deep, deep respect. 30 years later, my Nannie is still a very dear and close family friend.Movie Review: For My Mother!
Summary: 5 Stars
I live through history! My mother (still living)sings praises of this movie, and every time it comes on cable, she calls me to tell me that is it on. It is her life! She grew up "charmed" with "boarders", and experienced this move first hand. I live it through her! I watched it, and was enthralled! This movie captivates you from beginning to end and is "True Life" for "All of Us" who have lived through the experience! EVERY ACTOR PLAYED THEIR PART TO THE HILT!Movie Review: an excellent film
Summary: 5 Stars
this is an excellent coming-of-age film (autobiographical, i've heard) that contains an array of characters rendered deftly by an outstanding cast of actors and actresses. if you're looking for a film saturated with "positive images", this is not your fare. rather, it's a gritty, realistic tale of a vibrant community. it's the story of a particular community, yes, but also the story of black communities across the nation.
i highly recommend this film.
