Movie Reviews of The Inkwell
Movie Review: Underrated beyond belief
Summary: 5 Stars
Pay no attention to the bourgeoisie reviewer below me. Its obvious that he has self-hatred issues(who else would refer to afros as tacky besides some self-hating Tom with lots of alabaster "friends"). Glynn Turman's character(Spencer) never congratulated Drew for courting an older women. Spencer never knew anything about Drew or the older woman. Its kind of obvious that this prudish clown didnt see the movie or if he did he allowed his blinding hatred coerce him into writing an inaccurate review.
The other two negative reviews are from sheer idiots simple and plain. Now that that is out of the way....
The story: Drew has problems coping with his life after he accidently burns down his house. His mom(played by Suzzanne Douglas and Dad(Joe Morton)move with her sister and from then Drew's life changes.
Larenz Tate is pretty good as the naive but likable Drew. Suzzanne Douglas is great as Drew's mother and Joe Morton is perfect as Drew's father Kenny. Glynn Turman is good also as the ignorant and arrogant Spencer Phillips. Duane Martin is just hilarious as Jr Phillips. And for me the silliness only made this movie more appealing.
Its a shame that Matty Rich(the director) never had another movie after this one. But I understand all to well that any gifted black director that gives us positive images will not last in Follywood. There is no high demand for them and a lot us will only promote the black films that these childish schizophrenics promote. If you are over the age of thirty and you still allow these freaks to dictate to you what quality entertainment is then you should be ashamed of yourselves. The editorial reviews as well as the negative reviews for this movie are the reason why positive black movies will never get the love they need. You cant pine about positive images for Black people and you would support a movie like this. We owe it to Matty Rich as well as all other talented black filmmakers to support movies of this ilk. Two thumbs up for this touching coming of age movie.
