I heard on Tom Joyner that a movie called "Basic" with Sam Jackson and John Travolta is a good movie. It's scheduled to be released on Tuesday on video. Has anyone heard of this movie?

I'm hosting a movie night at my place in a couple of weeks, so I guess I 'll add this to my list.

Basic was pretty good...lots of twists and turns.

I liked The Recruit also.

The Recruit was good.

I also rented The Feast of All Saints. That was really good. I love Black movies that give insight to our history.

Am I invited? J/K! :D I want to see Basi also. I'm still trying to get Antoine Fisher. I am just going to have to break down and buy it.

Took some advice frOM you guys!
 
I took a break from the books this evening and rented a few movies....

1) Deliver Us from Eva! Why oh why do I know Robinne Lee!!! I went to school w/ her sister! I re: when she went off to Yale (she's a bit older than me) How this passed me on the Alumni updates I have no idea! Her last flick was Hav Plenty which I just hateeddddd. This was cute she looks like she did 10 years ago (lucky her..lol) And what can you say about LL... But Dayummmmmmmmm A/w I agree there were parts that were not so good. Seemed a bit forced I think but all in all it was cute!

2) I also got Biker Boyz.... hummm I think it made me want to try and ride a motorcycle..lol.. The lil girl from Eve's Bayou done grown up and out! It was ok that's a sub culture I just don't know so i am sure others may find it to be great.

3) I also got National Security and I am off to go see it now! Hey Blockbuster had a 3 for $9.99 special :p

Ok couldn't get them all in last night so I watched Nat'l Sec. this morning...it was an ok laugh andddd Robinne was in that TOO!! DANG! I really must have been under a rock for the past 3 years!!! A/w I am so happy and proud of her I knew she always had the acting/modeling bug but geesh! :)

So proud on my fellow Westchester(NY)/Jamerican Chick!!!:D

Check out Auto Focus with Greg Kinnear and Willem Dafoe. It is a true story about TV star Bob Crane. Really good movie, but not for kids.

I just got The 25th Hour and it was very good. Spike Lee's endings always throw me a little though.

One Hour Photo was boring and slow moving.

Deceiving
 
A couple weekends ago I rented "The Brotherhood". When I read the case I thought it would be similar to "School Daze"(sp?). Boy was I disappointed. I didn't even watch the movie. When it first came on and the credits were rollin, it looked like Microsoft Word was used to produce the lettering. Then the beginning looked like someone taped a lecture and ending of class. I couldn't watch this movie. It was horrible. I wanted to ask the rental place could I have my money back!!! WARNING: Do not, I repeat do not, rent the movie "The Brotherhood". It's a waste of money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
