Laurence Fishburne

Deep Cover
$14.98
Another undercover cop trying to snare some big Hispanic drug dealers. This type of thing happened every week on Miami Vice. Here, the setting is LA, but the theme is the same. Fishburn smolders a bit too much, and Jeff Goldblum is his usual greasy self. The cutting and editing are circa early 90s and seem a little dated now. If you can't find anything else to watch, this may suffice.

Always Outnumbered
$5.98
Some have reported the 'Apocalypse Now' was his first film, but that's erroneous, his first role was that of a small boy that witnessed a police shooting of an innocent man, 'Cornbread' played by former LA Lakers star, Jamal Wilkes. As far as the review of Always outnumbered, always outgunned goes, all I have to say is, FANTASTIC. Mr. Fishburne does not disappoint and delivers, big time!

Tortured
$14.94
I may be naive, but I never saw the ending coming. Great movie, really great.

Othello [VHS]
$19.98
Without losing the Elizabethean venacular, this version of Othello rocks. The actors have the Shakespearean language roll off their tongues as smoothly as if they were reciting "Old KIng Cole." Perfect for a high school classroom if you can get away with the R-rated fantasy scenes.
