 Cora Unashamed $19.99 I am a huge fan of Langston Hughes' collection of short stories entitled, "The Ways of White Folk", and "Cora Unashamed" is the perfect story to headline a book about the brutal, tragic, and often times hilarious relationships between white and black people in the 1930s and 40s. It is brilliantly written and many of the themes about racism and classism are still relevant today. That being said, this movie completely removes everything important about the original story. The social elements are almost completely eradicated. It romanticizes and simplifies this brutal time in American history to a story about a hateful (white) mother and the loving (black) mother who attempts to teach this little white girl to love herself inspite of her mother's condescending remarks and hostile attitude. It is not historically accurate, and to me, that destroys the entire meaning of this brilliant story. If you love (and understand) the short story---do not even waste your time watching this horrendous film!

Dead Like Me: Life After Death $19.98 The show was amazing... I loved it! The movie, however, is a turd. Everything seemed rushed, and the story was terrible. Laura Harris isn't in the movie, yet Daisy is still in the show (they replaced her with Sarah Wynter... who did a terrible job.) All I can say is that the movie disgraces the show. Watch it at your own risk! |
