Latest Additions:
 
How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days
In Donald Petrie’s How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, the setup to the inevitable is contrived to highest level that although you may want to dismiss the film, the performances by the leads are appealing enough for you to have good time enjoying this film.

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.

The Recruit
If there was ever a time you thought about being James Bond and wondered about the training process, this is the film for you. Starring Al Pacino and Colin Farrell as the teacher and the student, the film gives you a jolt of suspense as the plot is not what is seems.

City of God (Cidade de Deus)
City of God is a heady experience of violence, notoriety and damn good storytelling. Regardless of the chaotic filmmaking, the viewer is held in place by the knowledge that this story is real.

Biker Boyz
Biker Boyz is based on an article that appeared in the Los Angeles New Times in 1999. It detailed the rarely heard of world of black motorcycle clubs that fraternize and compete in races up and down southern California. Despite its soft ending, Biker Boyz is highly entertaining and also intriguing because of its insider view on another aspect of black life.
