Barbershop
Hollywood
gets it wrong so many times, that it is truly refreshing when it
gets things right.
Barbershop could have turned into yet another racial joke
and stereotype filled piece of brainless fodder.
Instead, it is a lighthearted ensemble comedy that realizes
the effectiveness of simplicity of story and human interaction and
natural conversation.
With star Ice Cube’s guidance and the directors soft
handed balance of story and social observation, the film becomes a
playful, touching, realistic break from movies that just try to
hard to be something that their not instead of just letting the
natural appeal of things come out.
Martin
Lawrence:Runteldat
Ride
life until the wheels fall off, not bad advice if you think about
it.
Live life to its fullest and best, taking advantage of what
it has to offer, taking the bumps and hurdles in stride, but still
moving forward.
Sage advice from the otherwise crude and foul-mouthed
Martin Lawrence, whose concert film Runteldat is part obscenity
laden shock humor which borders on unfunny and intentionally
shocking and part therapeutic soul baring and cleansing.
Dealing with subject matter from pregnancy, sex and child
rearing, to his own bouts with legal trouble and mental illness,
Lawrence is a figure that may shock, may offend, and may cross
several lines quite boisterously, but there is no denying that he
will always tell it like it is, so buckle in for the ride.
