| Good, not great tale of a Senior class in a London public school circa 1967. Poitier is excellent as Mark Thackeray, a first year teacher with an engineering degree, who takes on some of the toughest Dickensian type students that one can imagine. Everyone in the class is seriously deficient;no Oxford aspirants here. So, Mark literally throws away the books and attempts to teach social skills, much to the chagrin of many faculty members,too burned out or sarcastic, no longer able or willing to put ...

| This is another great documentary accredited to Ken Burns. Nicely done and extremely informative. I purchased this for my wife who loves it and has watched it several times over. |

| The video story had a good concept, a good plot showing events that were very realistic, but it left out key events such as the revenge of Cassie against Lilian Jean, how the blacks were treated in school, and the revenge of the Logan children getting back at the white bus driver. Watching the movie with important events left out, left the audience confused. |

| This was a very impressive movie and I am glad that I bought it. If you read the history of this civil war battle first - you will enjoy the movie much better. I recommend the movie Glory.

| Sad but pretty close to the truth. I really don't know what else to say. It's our Country's Sad History. People still use the N word freely. This explains why so many of us take offense, even when our own use it. Boy, even at 50 and respected by his own, a grown man is referred to as Boy. Some folks just don't understand why some of us are still angry. Anger is an action word. Without feeling it, things just don't get done. It's as strong as Determination. I love my black brothers, excuse me, Black Men. Their fight is harder than any ... Read More: |

| I was not an avid follower of this man, but some of his ideals should have been scrutinized for a better community amongst the people mainly African Americans.
He was a man of integrity especially with family life. His followers were not as strong minded as he just as those in MLK's time. Those supposed followers reacted to certain aspects of their ideas I believe, just to announce that they were a part of a group with some power. The followers did not fully understand their leader who was for the equality of Human Race. |

| Came in excellent condition as promoted on the website. Also arrived well within the specified time. Would not hesitate to purchase another DVD thru Amazon. BAPS is a very funny, sweet DVD about friendship and dreams. All the actors do a wonderful job and Halle Berry is hilarious. |

| Like most sequals, this movie is not of the same caliber of the original Cleopatra Jones. It is, however, entertaining, and collectors of Urban 70's movies will find this one a "must have" for the collection. |

| After watching the featurettes on this, and finding out this a parody of hood movies like "menace to society" and "Boyz in da hood" etc... well, I gotta admit, I have never seen those movies. But this movie may be parodying those films, but the comedy of this movie is good enough that you do not even need to have seen those movies to have a good laugh at this film.
Even tho I haven't seen anything it's parodying, I still give it 4 stars for being funny as hell. The Wayans brothers deliver another great comedy like Scary Movie, and this one is definitely ... Read More: |
