DYNOMITE!

Black Dynamite is awesome, it is as simple as that. Even though it got a lot of positive reviews I avoided it at first because I didn't think it's area of humor would connect with me. Black Dynamite is a spoof of 1970s blacksploitation movies like Shaft, where black people battle the man and say the word "jive" a lot. I have never seen any of the movies BD is spoofing but it really didn't ruin my enjoyment of it at all. I probably would have found a few more subtle references funny but thats probably it. Because most of the humor is BD can apply to everyone since a lot of it consists of sight gags, funny dialogue, and over the top characters. Black Dynamite is played by Michael Jai White. He does a great job, always playing the part dead serious regardless of the ridiculousness going on around him. There are so many one liners and funny scenes that I keep wanting to use or talk about but can't since no one else I know has seen it yet. Hopefully that changes soon though, because I have a copy and will make people watch it at the first possible opportunity. I mean the movie ends with a nunchuck fight against President Richard Nixon, how can't a movie like that be great?
