The Sad State Of Black Film-Making
What is up with black films? Where are black movies of the caliber of There Will Be Blood or No Country For Old Men? Love them or hate them, these films were great movies with great characters. Where are the risk-taking and innovative black filmmakers? We have great stories to tell and great heroes to tell stories about. The Great Debaters was good, but not great. American Gangster was over-rated. A Raisin in the Sun was disappointing and a remake. I can't name one black film that I am looking forward to seeing in the near future. It not that we don't have black stars or the money. That's just not true anymore. Our black filmmakers need to step up their game.
