The Adventures of Pluto Nash (2002)
One of the FEW Major Black Actors in a Sci-Fi, KICKIN!
As a long term fan of Eddie Murphy, ( From SNL ), It was a great thing to see him take on a diverse role, especially in a Science Fiction Movie.
With Sci-Fi Movies being my favorite genra, right next to comedy, It was great to see many of my favorite actors, ( Even the new ones ), bringing it all together, but this time in outer space.
Cannot unterstand why the movie did not do as well as it did in the theaters. Feels like "politics", but perhaps it could have been "Timing".
Eddie playing "a suave and sophisticated bar owner on the moon", seems like a pretty cool foundation a movie, especially when you add a razy side kick like "Randy Quaid" as a robot.
Then the movie takes it back to more "old school" with the infamous "Blacksploitation Actress", PAM GRIER. ( Looking as good as ever ), and especially tough while helping to run down the bad guys. (Pam is still all that)!
My first introduction to Mr. Boyle was in the De Nero movie, (Taxi Driver). Through the years he has done an awesome job in both areas of comedy, (Gege Wilder / Mel Brooks), to dramas.
The casting was like something sent down from "The Movie Gods". Not to mention that "Whacky Assed Jay Mohr", who played behind a Celebrity name I have not heard of since the 60s, (Tony Francis)..... Heh, Heh...
Over all, the movie did well! My perspective is from looking at black actors from the "Stepin' Fetchit" era, up to present. I view this movie as "A DEFINITE STEP FORWARD", and perhaps with a different chemistry, (Viewing the down falls of this movie), one should take all elements into consideration, and just "DO IT AGAIN!!!!"
Hats off to all involved in this venture. Lets, again, contribute an even larger positive lead by evolving the acting spectrum, as a whole!
Also, would love to see Jacynthe Rene` (Babette), again but in an expanded role. She has a lot of potential acting in American movies;<)
From the words of Eddie Murphy himself: "Its All Good"! My favorite saying, only because its true.

Drop Zone (1994)
WESLEY & BUSEY AT THEIR VERY BEST.
I watch this movie at least once a month, just for "the adreneline rush". Sometimes, as often as needed! Wesley really pushes to the edge in this one.
The entire cast were excellent! Including Mr. Busey, of course.
The writers and casters of the movie did really well with little details, like turf fights, base not on race, but on the fact that "you are not welcome here". Then there was "The Title On The Book" Wesley was reading while flying on the jetliner.
He didn't get the girl, but he did achieve more mile stones in the movie world for all of us, as one people.
