three kings and black caesar


I remeber watching this with my friend Jordan right when the current Iraq war started. It certainly makes you think about the whole thing. Now i feel the same.
It's defently David o russel's best film. You take 4 people who otherwise do not give a shit about the people in this country they've been fighting in. Then on the way to steal some gold they start to realise oh wait these actually people and this situation that our goverment has made for them has really fucked them.
It's certainly hard to watch this film and go yeah we should just leave but then your like but the first time it didn't turn out so good.
In fact wait that does bother me like if it was your family then you'd be like no wait fix everything up. But since we don't live there it's like lets leave and save our people. that kinda bugs me.
Regardless if you agree with me or not I'm glad there are films out there that are watching you get all fired up and want to think about things like this. And that is good enough reason if you havn't seen this to. or see it again it's still good and strangely a box office hit which is fucking weird. oh well


So if you've never been a fan of blackpoltion then you saw that poster and don't care all ready. Regardless it's not a bad genre. This film even has a score by James Brown and a veyr fucking awesome great score.
The film itself is really good mafia story but told in harlem which believe it or not gangs are kinda like organized crime. all though i've always woundered what unorganized crime would be like.
It uses all the great streo types of the genre and it's always fun to watch how each of these films worked with them in new ways. this is actually a remake of little caesar. and it works very well. I wish remakes were all coo like this.
everybody does what they need to do in this movie and it works. if you like Coffy, Shaft, Superfly, and just really like snoop dog then see this movie. if black people make you nervous i don't like you and also see this movie. why cause it's a coo movie not the best but defently in my top 10 of the genre.
