Today I was bored after my wonderful interview and decided to catch a movie. I had my heart set on seeing Vantage Point but it didn't start until an hour plus later. So instead of waiting alone for an hour, which can seem like waiting an eternity, I opted to go see Meet The Browns. Everyone who know me knows that I'm a movie lover. And I normally prefer the satirical or analytical movies as opposed to the more commercial movies, but hey, you can't really be disappointed with a Tyler Perry movie now can you. I mean his movies have everything: humor, black on black love, family, great music, church, and tons of food. I mean I get to live vicariously through the charcters for almost 2 hours. I get all my weekly fixing in such a short amount of time that I can't really complain about the $12 ticket price that I just paid for this visual experience.
So, this brings me to this. Why do Tyler Perry movies always end so damn predictably? I know it's a family movie or whatever, but geesh can we get a little deeper Tyler, can we? We only have TP movies or stupid shit like Soul Plane to represent us black folks, and ain't no way in hell you'll catch me watching Soul Plane unless all other movies cease to exist. Therefore I demand, and you guys might agree, that these movies need more realistic viewpoints. I'm sick of seeing every black male either playing basketball or getting involved in the drug game, I'm sick of the angry black woman who is mad at the world and I'm sick of these movies making southern people look like complete idiots. I understand Tylers reasons but I just feel like he's popular enough to start making movies with a little more depth and variety.
Nonetheless, I will continue, and urge all of you guys to continue to support Tyler Perry Films and other good black films. Here is a short list of my favorites for you to start with: Premium, Love Sex & Eating The Bone, Talk To Me......
ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
