Lu (2013)
GRACE PERSONIFIED In 10 Short Minutes!
This film is a portrait of the power of God's redeeming grace told in 10 short minutes! The film recently won 4 awards - including Best Actor - at the 168 Short Film Festival in Los Angeles, CA. After you see it, you'll understand why!
"LU" tells the story of a war veteran (Nate Parker) wrecked with guilt and shame over an ambush of a Middle-Eastern family during the Iraq War. He has all but lost his faith and is ready to take his own life. His plans take a turn when he decides to seek out the surviving family who was ambushed.
I won't go any further to avoid spoilers. But, as I said before, the film is a powerful story of what happens at the intersection of guilt/shame & the grace of God. Kudos to writer/director Korstiaan Vandiver and his crew for their brilliant work. It is a compelling and deeply spiritual film that must be seen by all!
The Brothers (2001)
a refreshing change of pace
No guns. No drugs. No drive-by shootings. Just a simple little flick about 4 Black men looking for love. I'll take that over a ghetto gangsta flick anyday! A very good and entertaining film. I recommend it to those who REALLY wanna know how Black American men really think...and feel!
Hannibal (2001)
Gross, but Great!
a far different film than Silence...this one is strictly popcorn entertainment. and it succeeds! Anthony Hopkins outdid himself as Hannibal and Julianne Moore made Clarice a role of her own...not many actresses have the power to do that. the ending got under my skin, but all in all, it was a very entertaining sequel. 8 out of 10.
Shaft (2000)
