Black Dynamite

August 14 2009

Friday night and the first day of the Toronto After Dark Film Festival. Tonight we saw the festival's opening movie, Black Dynamite. We thought about passing on this film but at the last minute decided what the heck....which turned out to be a great decision. I liked Black Dynamite it was very funny and had lots of action. It's a 1970's blaxploitation movie. Way over the top and the kind of movie you either go with it or you just think what a load of shit. I totally bought into the movie and had a rip roaring time. The crowd at the Bloor was into it and that always helps. The main actor Jai White (who also wrote the movie) was also in another movie I liked called Spawn.

If you get a chance I think you should see this movie as most of the films at this festival will not get a wide release.

I would say 3.5 of of 5

this starts a week full of movies....even more then normal for Liz and me.

This was waaaay better than I was expecting. Very funny, over the top and had some great kung-fu action. The opening scene of the movie included three sexy women in bed saying how good he was last night - his response "you be quiet or you gonna wake dem odder bitches" and pointing to bunch of other sleeping bodies under the covers - the audience loved it! And lines like "not the oprhans! You can't sell drugs to the orphans. They got no Momma or Daddy so it's worst for the orphans!" lol. Glad we went to this one.
