MALCOLM IS BACK & MORGAN IS RUNNING THE CIA

It's here. Malcolm D. Lee's latest film "Undercover Brother" has arrived and ready to take on all comers. The film stars Eddie Griffin as the retro spy looking to overthrow THE MAN. It won't be easy while "Spiderman" and "Star Wars" are already on play. In fact, last week's box office total was the highest ever for a Memorial Day Weekend. "Insomnia" did very well, grossing in the neighborhood of $25 million. Jennifer Lopez still has "Enough" to bring in a crowd.

Also coming out this week is the latest film from Morgan Freeman. After appearing on the screen recently as a lawyer in "High Crimes," Morgan is back as the Head of the CIA in "The Sum of All Fears". The film is based on the novel by Tom Clancy and stars Ben Affleck as the young Jack Ryan. In light of 911, this film is a must see.

Till next time,

Latest Review Additions:
  
Undercover Brother
In Malcolm D. Lee’s second feature since “The Best Man”, he has brought a film that is extremely funny and presented with a torrent of insightful gags at breakneck pace.

The Sum of All Fears
Although The Sum of All Fears was based on the popular novel by Tom Clancy and written years ago, the film serves as a reminder that although we are facing tough times, we can still go out and enjoy a fast paced thriller without letting our emotions get the best of us.

Enough
It goes without saying that “Enough” will be heavily compared to the film Julia Roberts made a decade ago, “Sleeping with the Enemy”.
