i was thinking of seeing WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE over the weekend. both that and the new indie film BLACK DYNAMITE played in the 42nd st theaters. the AMC pleace where THINGS played looked more crowded and i didn't wanna be in line waiting 4ever so i head to Regal cross the street where BLACK DYNAMITE played. went in , jeez, only 8 people i counted for the 11:40 am showing.
well, i made the right decision!  BIG laughs from the small crowd including yours truly, i have a found a very funny A minus indie movie! a wonderful spoof of the 70s blaxploitation movies and perhaps 70s porn movies that played when 42nd st was a s--thole .
michael jai white of SPAWN (he was the mobster who got his mouth slashed by the Joker in THE DARK KNIGHT) plays the BLACK DYNAMITE, a former CIA agent , vietnam vet and kung fu artist pulled back into action fighting drug dealers in the L.A. community after his brother is killed. BD"s name is like mentioned dozens of times in the film.
loved everything in the movie from the wah wah music to the afros, the 70s suits, the wacky dialogue and B.D. and his team figure out in a strange way how the drugs are dealt thanks to "Anaconda Malt Liquor" enough to make a fella turn "Little Richard". try to figure out the name like what's another name for Richard?  and they show poor Richard! also contains the strangest sex scene ever put on film, which it is also very funny! the drug trail also leads to another famous Richard which i was like, 
reminded me of GRINDHOUSE since there was a "movie ad" for the malt liquor before the film started a la TROPIC THUNDER's alpa chino ad.
i have never seen movies in the old crappy druggy 42nd st days but seeing BLACK DYNAMITE made me feel nostalgic seeing it today on 42nd st . playing in some cities now and hope it plays in your town. check it out! it's a treasure!
michael jai white is a fine actor who will be seen in tyler perry's WHY DID I GET MARRIED TOO? he should be in indie films. he is good, not do shit like, UNDISPUTED 2?
like BD said in the movie,
Can Ya Dig It?
I SAID CAN YA DIG IT?!?!
WORD!!!!
