Wow!
I can’t believe it has been an entire year since I got on
this blog. Lot’s of things have been
happening. I ran a book club and a school workshop on Filmmaking and I also had
ran a kid’s filmmaking camp for two weeks this summer for inner-city youth, so
my plate has been full. I am going to do my best to try and Blog at least once
–a-week, but we will see how that goes…..So this weekend I finally saw the
film, “Dope,” after trying to get tickets to see it while I was at Sundance. I have to say that the film, was
“Dope…”lol……Dope is what the Breakfast Club was for the 80’s. African-American teen nerd/punk trying to
make it to the next level living in Inglewood. The film kinda reminded me of
The Wood, but with a John Hughes twist.
This movie was funny, creative, and had a great cast. The story
was very well developed, and had a message about discrimination and stereotyping.
The film was very raw and honest. This
is a movie that definitely should be a Blue-Ray purchase for your home use..
