[Rain Man]

Like many of you, I am getting a bit bored at the same old tired Black Hollywood love stories with the same actors playing in it. That is why after reading some of the feedback on "Brown Sugar", I elected to pass on seeing it.

I want to see a Black love story that I can relate to: a common ordinary Black professional who don't date much and have a hard time finding a good sister that isn't totally consumed with their job/career strike oil and meet the woman of his dreams (with a few snags and snares thrown in for good measure). Not some super-successful or big-money professional. Just an average Joe. I thought "The Other Brother" with Mekhi Phifer was going to be my pot of gold, but I was disappointed.

On another note, I want to see a good Black erotic movie (not porno, where folx f[rea]k for the sake of doing so, around some stupid storyline), but something that makes you go "Whoooo" instead of "Ugh". That is why I give Rob Hardy and Will Packer ("Trois", "Pandora's Box") my props, b/c they are willing to show the beauty and mystique of Black sexuality in a tasteful yet titilating way. IMHO I loved "Trois", b/c the duo definately was on to something in the erotic department, but for whatever reason didn't "let it all out", and by consensus of most viewers, made the rest of the movie a disappointment. I am waiting for "Pandora's Box to come to Columbus, as I heard that it was very good.

OK, let me wrap up this post before I wind up with....uh, never mind.

Peace, my Pepys!
