BLACK DYNAMITE - limited release


What is it?  Read about it here.

What did I think?  Damn.  Sh*t was pretty awesome.

It had the perfect tone of looking like a 70's blaxploitation flick but also a spoof a la Airplane! but a solid flick in itself.

And I compare it to Airplane! because later derivations lost the genius of what Airplane! did - it was never trying to be obvious.  The gags came at you subtly and then unfurled to be a big joke.  [Later junk like Hot Shots et al really diluted the beauty of Kentucky Fried Movie, Airplane! and Top Secret!. ]

Black Dynamite was a throwback to the former by not being obvious in its bid to spoof the genre but the tone was set immediately by the first few lines, looks, and one of the best kick-the-door-in moments I've seen in a long ass while!

Michael Jai White gave a solid performance, and not just in his acting but his physical prowess on screen was quite an impressive sight.

I hate knowing anything about a movie which is why I never discuss any part of a film other than if it's worth the effort.  For Black Dynamite?  Go check it out.  Definitely worth the time and the money.
