Ooh! Reverse Racism! Me Likes Black men who fight against the swirl (and probably fight against prop 8).
"Directed (but not written) by Neil LaBute, this drama builds up a fair amount of discomfiting tension, with Jackson wisely underplaying a role that could have turned into a villainous caricature."
Am I wrong to think, even if it isn't a campy caricature....and, well Samuel L. Jackson's roles of late have been kinda...come on...Black Snake Moan anyone, you can't tell me you watched that movie and didn't cringe and laugh out loud at the same time at the Southern Fried repressed craziness and not so latent racism in that movie....
Is Samuel L. Jackson the Blaxplotation king reincarnated? Lakeview Terrace begs me to wonder if that's the sho-nuff truff....If his performance in the movie isn't over the top...the premise of using the "angry black man" against "just about everything that isn't him" is quite...umm...much...like so much it could be instant MST3000 fodder....
Just sayin....
But, on another note...one wishes that there'd be more varieties of roles...for all peoples. Maybe independent cinema will make a comeback...
HA!
umm...please?
