A wonderful story about believing in one’s self, life lessons, and wisdom.

Sure to be a classic! The soundtrack is awesome. The acting is absolutely wonderful. My first time seeing Jason S. before Transporter and the others - knew he’d be a hit in his own right. The writing is HILARIOUS! Especially Mr. Breaker’s lines and “… guns for show, knives for a pro.” I have watched this flick at least 5 times and never get bored. The pace is fast and smart. I caught Snatch aft this, but this will always be my fav Guy Ritchie film!

La Noire de…, also known as Black Girl (The original French title is literally translated as The Black Girl of…) is a 1966 film directed by Ousmane Sembène. The film is often considered the first Sub-Saharan African film by an African filmmaker to receive international attention.
The film is based on Sembène’s own writing. Though he previously directed two shorts: Borom Sarret and Niaye, Black Girl was his first feature-length film. In Movies as Politics, Jonathan Rosenbaum makes a case for Senegal writer-director Ousmane Sembene’s La Noire de… as the symbolic genesis of sub-Saharan African filmmaking, at least to the extent that the authorship belonged to a born and bred African.
The film centers on Diouana (Mbissine Thérèse Diop), a young Senegalese woman who moves from Dakar, Senegal, to Antibes, France, to work for a rich French couple (Anne-Marie Jelinek and Robert Fontaine). In France, Diouana hopes to continue her former job as nanny, and looks forward to a cosmopolitan lifestyle. However, upon arrival in Antibes, the couple begins to treat Diouana more harshly and she is forced to work in the capacity of a servant. Diouana becomes increasingly aware of her constrained and alienated situation.

Eric Nunnally’s first book of poetry is unconventional, unashamedly lengthy, and explores a kaleidoscope of issues spanning over a decade of thought. Thematically addressing love, race, gender, social, and religious issues, Blaming Eve is bold and intense. Though there is nothing new under the sun, one cannot help but sense the freshness of tone and perspective offered within this body of work which explores still taboo issues in an authentic and intuitive manner.

“La Haine does not offer any solutions to social problems but clearly shows the anger and frustration of people who feel trapped by their circumstances. In its depiction of a society in free-fall, it also has immediacy. Three weeks after the film was released, riots broke out in the Brixton section of London, following the death of a young black man in police custody. Though it is a wake-up call for action on society’s growing gap between rich and poor, La Haine makes a powerful statement that violence does not solve anything and that hate begets hate. Someone should pass the word to a few of the world leaders.”
