Can you Bend it Like Beckham?

In keeping the spirit of celebrating Woman's History Month, Bend It Like Beckham comes to a theater near you. Directed by Gurinder Chadha, the film gives men who play soccer a scare as women can play the game just as well as they can.

Also, blackfilm.com congratulates Angela Bassett for winning the Best Actress award for her role in Sunshine State at the 34th NAACP Image Awards. Halle Berry also won for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Jinx in Die Another Day.

Latest Review Additions:
  
Bend It Like Beckham (in Film)
Already a hit in England and other parts of the world, Bend It Like Beckham is a charming, upbeat comedic film that should please all. A definite must see.

Reviewed by Wilson Morales

Short Eyes (in Film)
Based on the award-winning play by Miguel Pinero, and directed by Robert M. Young, the film is well-acted with a frightening view of prison life.

Reviewed by Wilson Morales

Bringing Down the House (in Film)
This film may be a comic relief for some and not for others. It all depends on the style of humor that appeals to you. The authentic chemistry between Steve Martin and Latifah will keep the audience engaged in this corky storyline.

Reviewed by Diana Blain

Tears of the Sun (in Film)
Although the early stages of the film seems stiff with no place to go, Director Fuqua has taken a clichéd film and added some realism to make you think about the atrocities that occur in Africa but never spoken or read about.

Reviewed by Wilson Morales

Nowhere In Africa (in Film)
While the film is well done with beautiful cinematography of the Kenyan landscape and excellent character development, there is a part of me that was averse to watching a film in which, once again, the black folks are the strange “other”.
