The Karate Kid (*1/2)

June 24, 2011 By: Dwight Brown

By Dwight Brown NNPA Film Critic Sometimes it’s best just to leave a classic film alone… 26 years have passed since Ralph Macchio played a transplanted teen from New Jersey who relocated to California with his single mom, encountered some bullies, was taught how to fight and win a karate competition by a noble handyman/martial […]

Get Him To The Greek (**1/2)

June 24, 2011 By: Dwight Brown

By Dwight Brown NNPA Film Critic “The artist is the worst person on earth. Turn your back on him at your own peril.” Rock stars have a bad rep. Temperamental. Self-absorbed. Reckless. Sex-crazed. Addicted to anything that isn’t tied down. So what was junior record executive Aaron Hall (Jonah Hill, “Superbad”) thinking when he agreed […]

Brooklyn’s Finest (***1/2)

June 24, 2011 By: Dwight Brown

By Dwight Brown NNPA Film Critic There are only a few authentic, high-quality New York City cop films: “Serpico,” “French Connection,” “Prince of the City,” “Narc,” “Training Day.” Now “Brooklyn’s Finest,” a thoroughly engaging, nerve-fraying ode to wayward cops, can be added to that rarefied list. Graphic script, instinctive direction, engaging acting, superior production quality, […]

The Book of Eli (* 1/2)

June 24, 2011 By: Dwight Brown

By Dwight Brown NNPA Film Critic It’s the end of the world, as we know it… Road Warrior, Waterworld, The Postman, The Road, I Am Legend… Post-apocalypse films are a dime a dozen, so what makes The Book of Eli so different? Not much, except an evangelical subplot that is not strong enough to be […]

Ten Best Films of 2009

June 24, 2011 By: Dwight Brown

By Dwight Brown Film Critic NNPA In this sweeping year of change, good films have remained a constant.  Looking back on the high-quality movies of 2009, there are memorable stories, outstanding performances, high-drama, romance, lots of laughs and wild thrills. Certain films stand out and will vie for OscarÆ awards.  Some may never win a […]

The Princess and the Frog

June 24, 2011 By: Dwight Brown

By Dwight Brown NNPA Film Critic “When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are.” For decades Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures has been the king of animation, going back to Snow White (1937) all the way up to WALL…E (2008).  It has made the world safe for young kids who want […]

Passing Strange: The Movie

June 24, 2011 By: Dwight Brown

By Dwight Brown NNPA Film Critic “Life is a movie starring you,” says Stew. Over the years, film (Why Did I Get Married), TV (The Cosby Show) and theater (Love in The Nick of Tyme) have portrayed the black middle-class. What they’ve yet to do is capture the antics of adolescent rebellion within this social […]

The First Grader (***1/2)

June 24, 2011 By: Dwight Brown

By Dwight Brown NNPA Film Critic In this fact-based story about an 84-year-old former Mau Mau warrior who desires an education, the human spirit gets tested, ageism goes on trial, tribal conflict reigns and Kenyan history is made. In 2002, after years of strife the Kenyan government promised a free education to all its citizens. […]

Jumping the Broom (***)

June 24, 2011 By: Dwight Brown

By Dwight Brown NNPA Film Critic In sickness and in health. For better or for worse. And that’s before the wedding! The irreverent, satiric, laugh-provoking “The Funeral” showed us just how crazy people could be when handling the passing of a loved one. This mercurial, amusing send up of pre-marital woes and social class conflict […]

Night Catches Us (**)

June 24, 2011 By: Dwight Brown

By Dwight Brown NNPA Film Critic For some, the 1960’s Black Panther Party is a complete enigma. For those people who are looking for a revealing glimpse into that social/political/cultural movement, this poorly conceived ode to the Panthers is not illuminating. However, strong performances and some tight family drama make this period film worth viewing.Time […]
