 | | 11. Madea Goes To Jail | | | Starring: Derek Luke Keshia Knight Pulliam Director: Tyler Perry | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/15/2009 |  | Madea Goes to Jail - DVD Review By: Bill Gibron - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 6/5/2009 5:39 PM | |
For playwright and filmmaker Tyler Perry, the character of Mabel "Madea" Simmons has always been his entertainment trump card, his anarchic ace in the hole, so to speak. The loud-mouthed, gun-toting, pot-smoking grandma with a wealth of attitude and a penchant for pop culture cross-references has always been his audience window, his way for even the most jaded member of his revival like crowd to connect to his "Go with God" morality tales. Over the last few years, however, Perry (who plays the bossy battleaxe in full blown comic drag) has tried to wean his fan base off of Madea. She was absent from his last film (The Family that Preys) and had only a minor cameo in Meet the Browns. read the full review | |

 | | 12. Do the Right Thing (Blu-ray) | | | Starring: Danny Aiello Spike Lee Director: Spike Lee | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 1/3/2010 | | Do the Right Thing - 20th Anniversary Edition - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Dusty Somers - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 6/29/2009 10:47 AM | | Visceral, challenging, immediate, and uncomfortable, Do the Right Thing hasn’t lost any of its bite over the last 20 years. Often considered Spike Lee’s masterwork — I’d say it’s definitely in the top three — it will likely endure better than any of his other films. The racial questions the film provokes are still relevant now even if the circumstances surrounding most issues of race aren’t quite as inflamed as in the film. Lee himself certainly thinks the questions still need to be asked. Do the Right Thing works because despite the over-the-top nature of many of the events (even this is debatable), it’s not purely a message movie. read the full review | |
