Lonewolf's Movie Review 2013-Movies I watched on cable
"Waiting to Exhale" (1995) Dir. Forest Whitaker
A good movie about feeling good about yourself and doing the right thing for you. It's about relationships on all levels. Good soundtrack, good cast of performers. Based on Terry McMillan's novel of the same name. Very sensitively directed by Whitaker. A "Happy New Year" movie. (about new beginnings)
===========================================
"Hoodlum" Dir. Bill Duke
Set in Harlem circa 1934. A gangster movie with scenes similar to scenes in the "Godfather." Obligatory violence. Great scene with Wesley Snipes and Angela Basset. One of the best in the film.
Did the "Queen" really exist? Was Bumpy Johnson (Ellsworth) really a poet?
L. Maltin, movie critic, says that "Hoodlum" is a "Godfather" wannabe.
