Presents THE STARTING LINEUP

When blackfilm.com started it's mission. It was simple. Provide information, news, screening opportunities and to bridge the divide between those that make films about us and those that would like to see the finished product. We wanted to simply say thanks to all the wonderful e-mails we have received from our community and to those of you that continually help us to build. We could not have come this far without you.

If you have just joined us, welcome aboard.

Take a look at THE BEGINNING to see the FIRST ISSUE page created in July 1999. We saluted Spike Lee and its been a ride since then. Hope you will stay with us.

Till next time,
the blackfilm.com crew

Undisputed
What’s interesting about this story is that some may think this resembles the situation of a well-known real life boxer. It doesn’t, but some wonder.

Reviewed by Wilson Morales

Serving Sara
Serving Sara makes for an comical journey pairing two opposites Matthew Perry and Elizabeth Hurley, taking the audience on a fun filled adventure in the seemingly foreign territory of Texas.

Reviewed by Alberlynne "Abby" Harris

Full Frontal
Billed as the unofficial sequel to “Sex, lies and videotape,” his latest film FULL FRONTAL is a pretentious convoluted film that has no real meaning.

Reviewed by Wilson Morales

Who is Cletis Tout?
Christian Slater is dazzling as the one who quest for freedom lands him in hot water. Tim Allen is solid in a role that could seen as “Pulp Fiction” meets the “The Player”.

Reviewed by Wilson Morales

Blue Crush
Based on the magazine article “Surf Girls of Maui” by Susan Orlean, written by Lizzy Weiss and John Stockwell, and directed by John Stockwell (CrazyBeautiful), Blue Crush is a romantic girl-power flick with enough tubular wave action to make even the most sedentary movie-goer consider surf-lessons.

Signs
