Black Cinema

Hollywood Shuffle is an eighties film. A satirical parody. All about Black actors in Hollywood. Written, directed by and starring Robert Townsend. I had seen this film on the Just Summ Reactions channel and decided to take a look. I would have stopped watching but stuck with it. The issues raised are still relevant today. Two of the Wayans brothers are involved with the film. Bobby is a young aspiring actor. Living at home with mum, gran and brother. He has a part time job at a food place. His girlfriend is a hairdresser. Some of the language might offend. There is a film that Bobby will audition for. Some stereotypes are challenged. Some fantasy scenes. The cast get to play multiple characters. Good actors. You will recognise some people. You might also like I'm Gonna Git You Sucka, Bamboozled, Get Out, Don't Be A Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood, Undercover Brother. I recommend Primm's Hood Cinema as he is an all star.

Golden ticket

Last Action Hero starring Arnold Schwarzenegger · F. Murray Abraham · Art Carney · Charles Dance · Frank McRae · Tom Noonan · Robert Prosky · Anthony Quinn - Austin O'Brien. Screenplay was by Shane Black. A 90s action comedy. Parody, a satirical take on Hollywood. So many easter eggs. Danny is a young boy living in New York with his mother. It is a rough neighbourhood. He often goes to this rundown cinema. Nick is the projector operator. He has a magic golden ticket given to him by Houdini. Danny would be based on Charlie And The Chocolate Factory. In the movie world is Jack Slater who is based on many action film characters. Shoots bad guys, blows things up and smokes a cigar. References are made to the films that were released around the time. There is a villain named Benedict who is working for a mob boss. I would say he was based on The Man With The Golden Gun. The police chief was definitely inspired by Beverly Hills Cop. There are many cameos. Check out the trivia on Imdb. I had been looking at reaction channels. I have seen the film before. The actor that played Cane in Robocop 2 is playing an axe murderer called Ripper. The acting is good. Charles Dance is always superb. Over the top stunts and effects. Plenty of hot women, Bobbie Brown is the one in the video store. I like the soundtrack. I did think that with the theme playing during the villain scenes it has a few notes of The Sound Of Silence. I did wonder about the women in bdsm costumes. Arnie does laugh at himself. Shane worked with him on Predator. This was out in 1993. Anyway I will thank you for visiting this page. Feel free to look around. 

A Touch Of Cloth

Series 1-3. Cert 15, 6867441056492. Crime parody created by Charlie Brooker. Stars John Hannah, Suranne Jones, Daisy Beaumont, Karen Gillan and others. Funny and clever show. This is going for sale on eBay/Amazon. In perfect condition. You may like Dead Set, Screenwipe, Black Mirror. Murder investigation in the first one and DCI Cloth is joined by new partner Anne OldMan. Part two there was a bank robbery. Todd Carty cameos. Using the subtitles, sometimes blends in with the background. Originally broadcast on Sky. Ch4 DVD release. You might hear or spot some funny visuals featured briefly. Querishi played by Navin Choudry gives detailed descriptions of the victims as seen in other Cop shows. Contains crude gags, sex, nudity, violence, gore and swearing. Great acting from all members of the cast. I like the tits on the girl in McCratty's club. Strippers doing morris dancing. John Hannah is a brilliant actor, see this, Sliding Doors, The Mummy plus more. Nice soundtrack especially the theme. The third series Terry Cloth, brother of Jack, has been murdered. The suspect is a cult leader. Karen Gillan plays Newblood, a new recruit to the force. Des is a pervy bloke. Nice dialogue when with K Gillan. She was in an episode of Rebus. There's an actress that looks like Felicity Jones. Guvorner Boss is no nonsense with great lines. I'd like to see the bloopers. There are lots of pretty women. I recommend this show to all.
