Nobody Wants Your Film
$19.95
This doesn't seem to be a real documentary as far as I can tell. It's just a bunch of badly edited video tape footage. If you're looking for a documentary about film making or selling a film you've made, go somewhere else. The fact that this thing didn't have a UPC# made even the package seem like a non-legit doc. I watch a lot of documentaries and don't even consider this a real documentary. Sorry. I feel bad since I bought it directly from the film makers but it's just not something people need to buy.

Class Act
$2.99
As you may know by now Sid has a real passion for 90's flicks. Whether it be horror, action, or comedy they all seem to be top notch in that corny b way we just can't get enough of. Class Act is a perfect example of this. It was released in 1992 between House Party 2 & 3. We can only assume that House Party 2 didn't fair too well in the box office and they decided to switch it up a bit before releasing a third House Party installment. If you are a fan of Kid n Play you should know what to expect with this one. Either you'll love it or think it's terrible.

This time we get to see Kid as an overachieving genius named Duncan who has a run in with the school delinquent Blade (Play). The school winds up switching their records around forcing them to assume new identities to keep Blade from his pending trouble with the law. As they struggle to get by in their new lives they begin to find the good things about being each other. Duncan gets to be feared by the entire school because they think he's a ruthless thug and Blade is thought of as a genius earning him a little action with Ellen (Hillary from Fresh Prince of Bel Air). Happy times! Of course they get themselves into some trouble and have their usual rap off, this time with a little help from the weasel himself Pauly Shore. It all gets patched up in the end and of course they become best buds to only be seen in House Party 3 one year later.

For us you can't help but love this movie. It's Kid n Play! What isn't to love about that? It doesn't quite have the goods House Party has but it's still a solid 90's comedy proving what a fun time that was. It's a shame they can't duplicate any films like this any longer without it being some awful dance hall competition crap. So for those of you out there looking to cheese up you evening Class Act may be the right choice. You don't have to tell anybody you watched it. Just let it be a guilty pleasure. Oh and just a side note, why can't we get this film out on dvd? There is far far worse out there available. C'mon Amazon lets make it happen.

Mixing Nia: Love Isn't Always Black & White
$14.98
I like to dig into a writer's mind, and figure out what message he or she is trying to sneak past the inevitable Hollywood vampires who have appointed themselves as God's Chosen Ones to guard the gate.

The most articulate, well-educated, attractive character here is Lewis, played by Isaiah Washington -- black, college professor, up for tenure at an atypical young age, and -- gasp -- unabashedly pro-Black. So, of course the brother had to be taken down or this movie would never have been financed. And, he is, indeed, crucified just outside the Holy of Holies -- appropriately hung until dead, metaphorically speaking, in front of a crowd of white folks who have just left the temple of their god.

Earlier, after he has lain with our virtuous Nia -- the virgin Isis who Hollywood has ordained must be saved from the evil influence of Osiris [Lewis] -- the writer has a big white guy [Set] drive up, stop behind them, and just stare, in a big white truck with G.O.D. written on the side.

Hello ...

Prior to Lewis' obligatory end, in the scene where Lewis is sitting at a table with Nia and her clueless, sexually depraved father -- a repulsive man who, after screwing around her mama, now gets off by making videos of himself having sex with younger women -- the writer manages to have Lewis perfectly express what should be, by now, the inarguable failure of 60's style integration -- that it allowed white liberals such as Nia's father to pat themselves on the back for "ending" racism at the expense of The Souls of Black Folks, folks who were simply moved from the plantation to the inner city.
