Deliver Us From Eva The latest installment in the Black romantic comedy genre employs the same formulaic and over-the-top storytelling tactics that unfortunately are becoming more and more commonplace from Hollywood… not at all what you’d expect from an independent shingle. Reviews/Film 02/07/2003

Antwone Fisher Denzel Washington offers us a Black man’s coming of age story with the grace and honesty that any of his peers would be hard pressed to match. For his directorial debut, Washington chose the heartwarming story of Navy Seaman Antwone Fisher (played by Derek Luke) who, as an adult, faces the demons that haunt him from his childhood. Reviews/Film 12/20/2002

Narc Director Joe Carnahan’s tale of a narcotics officer’s struggle to keep his distance from the dangerous trappings of life undercover. Reviews/Film 12/20/2002

Crazy as Hell Written in the vain of such psychological thrillers as The Talented Mr. Ripley and The Twilight Zone, Crazy as Hell will have your mind racing in a million different directions and still manage to surprise you at the end. Reviews/Indie 09/27/2002

Crazy as Hell : An Interview with Eriq La Salle In his first role since leaving ER as Dr. Peter Benton, Eriq La Salle emerges as the devilish character, Satan, in his new film Crazy As Hell. Features/Interviews 09/27/2002

Our America Based on a book written about a true story, this film raises poignant questions about racist journalism and what happens when we see ourselves through the eyes of children. Reviews/Cable 07/26/2002

Morris Chestnut : Handling the Rock and Making Moves So when they sent me the script it was refreshing and it had some heartfelt moments in it and it was a fun family movie. Family movies have a history of making a lot of money. Features/Interviews 07/19/2002
