Chris Rock: Never Scared (2004)
Chris Rocks!
I always thought Chris Tucker was funnier, I may need to re-think that. Chris Rock is at his finest here. He goes where no other comics dare to go. Michael Jackson, affirmative action, George Bush, marriage, the US government, IRAQ, abortion, rappers. Controversial topics with many f-en-heimers. Serious topics with a very real and funny spin to each one of them. This guy actually makes sense, and is quite intelligent (also very funny, but you already knew that). I couldn't help but laugh my ass off for 75 minutes, however at times I felt I shouldn't be laughing (realizing that history was very brutal many years ago). Highly recommended and very hilarious if you don't mind the foul language. I gave it a 10.
Black Hawk Down (2001)
No Hollywood in this movie
This movie could be one of the top ten movies I have ever seen. Very real and true to life. The acting was excellent, the scenes seemed very real, the the storyline stayed true to life. (Based on the book). This movie is a must see. Once again, I can only praise the men and women of the armed forces for having to deal with very tough situations such as this one.
Rich Man, Poor Man (1976)
TV mini-series at it's best
Not only was this the first mini-series, but one of the most entertaining as well. There are good times, bad times, funny times, and sad times. Nick Nolte and Peter Strauss were excellent. Televised by ABC in 1976, 25 years ago. There are 12 episodes totaling about 9 1/2 hours. I wish ABC would pull the series out of the archives, and replay it for this new generation. It's a timeless classic that I would love to enjoy one more time.
