VHS Movie Reviews of Cornbread Earl & Me
Movie Review: Lawrence Fishborne is the star!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Lawrence Fishborne is the star in this movie, even thought the star is suppose to be the basketball player (who was an actual NBA star at that time) Lawrence steals the show. He did a great job. I would watch over and over. Movie Review: Mixed Blessings
Summary: 4 Stars
Given the era and how so many films are degraded as blaxploitation, this was one that shouldn't carry that burden. The theme of "us against the man" was explored in a different way as no one picked up a gun and began blazing through the streets. A young Black Man that could have made it through ball but was killed along with the dream; this was told on film and in real life in different ways that were so similiar: Cochise in Cooley High, Ben Wilson in Chicago. The only diff being the man did it in this one and the Black residents that coulda and shoulda, wouldn't.
Always a pleasure to see a young Fishburne work his lines and any 70's baller recognizes Jamaal Wilkes. An excellent movie, just don't be surprised if you feel the pain too.
Movie Review: still banging
Summary: 5 Stars
The movie was excellent. The best thing I liked about my purchase was that I got it in less than a week. I was able to give it to my mother who has found Amazon to be a great place to buy all the old movies she use to watch as a child.Movie Review: Compelling
Summary: 5 Stars
Great movie for the entire family. Lots of good moral and character lessons on this flick. It's not about race. It's about doing the right thing and standing up for the truth. Movie Review: Cornbread Earl and Me
Summary: 5 Stars
Way back then, when I was a child growing up in Guyana, South America, I saw this movie on big screen. It touched an entire audience that night and I am happy to have seen it on Amazon.com. I am now lucky to be able to buy it because I have often thought about this movie, about the nice kid whom everyone called Cornbread. I remember both him and his basketball which was replaced that fatal day with a bottle of soda pop when he was shot. I can never forget this story, because it is indelibly encraved into my mind and I turned out pretty good, now living here in America. These movies are the real classics of all times, only...no one every says so! I rate this movie a classic and I am sorry Amazon.com. I love you but you don't have a buttom to rate a true classic of our time!
