DON'T CALL IT A COMEBACK! 
20TH ANNIVERSARY OF BERRY GORDY'S THE LAST DRAGON TAIMAK SPEAKS....

 
With LL Cool J being honored for his years of service in music this week in VH1's Hip Hop Honors, let's also remember that it was 20 years ago when he made his entrance in the film business in "Krush Groove". Another actor who made his entrance in the business was Taimak, who was the star of what has become an urban cult classic, Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon. While we have followed LL's career thoughgout the years, the same can't be said of Taimak, who became a recluse after the film release. In celebrating the film's 20th annivesary, blackfilm.com spoke with Taimak as he talks about his emergence back in the film world. Click here

Reviews

Latest Review Additions:
  
Oliver Twist (in Film )
Polanksi's masterful touch is evident in every frame of this wonderful film. It is another grand achievement by one of film's greatest auteurs.
Roll Bounce (in Film )
Far from perfect, as there are several clichés within the film, and some of the characters go undeveloped, but overall, the film offers enough wit and charm that should please all that come to see it.
Flightplan (in Film )
You know what you're getting with Jodie Foster and Peter Sarsgaard, and they don't disappoint.
Racing Against The Clock (in Film )
A heartwarming documentary of women empowerment.
The Constant Gardener Review (in Film )
The Constant Gardner is an intellectual film with a purpose.  It is thoughtful and provocative, but not nearly the suspenseful thriller it’s made out to be.

The Man Review (in Film )
"The Man" is another black and white buddy movie where the jokes are flat and the talent is wasted.

Carlito's Way: Rise To Power Review (in Film )
If you're looking for a action packed, gunslinging gangsta this is not the film.
