Dynamite!... Dynamite!!!

The first time I saw an ad for this movie was on 2dopeboyz so I had thought it was some sort of mixtape or album that was coming out. Eventually I saw a preview for the movie on Electric Playground and I just knew I had to watch it. Basically, the movie is spoof/satire of blaxploitation films back in the 70's (think Shaft, or Dolemite). Of course I wasn't alive during that time period, so I don't exactly have first hand experience with any movies of the genre, but from the tv I've been able to watch during my life time, I have a rough idea of what it was all about. Even with the little knowledge I had though, the movie was pretty darn funny, good enough to pick me up from my terrible mid terms this week. There's definitely a lot of dumb humour in it (my favourite), but there are also quite a few hidden jokes that might need a second look. It's not out in theatres, but it's available on iTunes, Blu-Ray, DVD and wherever you can find movies on the internet. If you liked Anchorman, I think you'll like this movie (I'm not sure that's an apt presumption, but if I'm wrong you can blame me for wasting 1.5 hours of your life).

sidebar: If you're into funk kind of music, you should check out the movie sound track, definitely some good songs on there. Some of the lyrics are comical (obviously), but the production is on point!
