"Mo' Better Blues"

In archiving the frames from Mo' Better Blues, I found some that were just too nice to ignore, so have created two more images of Cynda Williams. I think these two are some of my best work ever.

    "Jungle Fever" (1991)

    Jungle Fever (1991) is written, produced and directed by Spike Lee, and explores inter-racial relationships. Wesley Snipes stars as the star architect in a white firm. He lives with his wife, Lonette McKee and young daughter in a nice apartment in Harlem. As the film opens, Snipes and McKee are having noisy morning sex, and we get the idea that it is a frequent thing. They are a picture of marital happiness. Everything changes when Snipes has an affair with a white Italian temp secretary at work. Lee doesn't give all of the answers, but certainly raises all of the questions, as he explores how everyone involved reacts to the situation. There is also a sub-plot concerning Snipes' brother and drugs that seemed a little out of place to me.

    Songs by Stevie Wonder, and score by Terrance Blanchard is well done, but sometimes very loud, overpowering the dialogue. Maltin awards 3 stars, and Ebert says 3 1/2. IMDB readers are in the same neighborhood at 6.6/10. It was a box office success, grossing $32.482m. Budget was $14m. The DVD transfer, part of a three DVD Spike Lee collection, is very good, and has the special features you expect in a boxed set. I go along with the crowd on this one. The topic is an interesting one, and is well explored. The acting is uniformly competent, and the photography ranges from adequate to very nice. Photography, score, art direction and lighting combine to set each mood required in the plot. All in all, it is a well-made film.

    Doing this can be difficult. Both Manhunter and Requiem for a Dream are terrific movies, but watching them back-to-back should be followed by a week with a shrink. Anyway, here's Requiem for a Dream and internet uberbabe Jennifer Connelly.

     

    • Jennifer Connelly (1, 2, 3, 4)

    Many of you are reading this on the day that "Hannibal" opens. Appropriately, here's a review of the new DVD 2-disk set of Manhunter, the prequel to The Silence of the Lambs. Although it features Dr Lecter in a very similar story to the one in SOTL, and was directed by the genius of atmosphere, Michael Mann, it has been largely forgotten by history. This is a good movie, and a good DVD, but no flesh. I can't remember any flesh in any Michael Mann movie, now that I think about it.


    New to DVD: Whipped had one brief breast shot from an extra. I passed on it. Poor movie. Hateful, unlikeable, unfunny, no characters to relate to. How did this thing ever make it to 1500 theaters? How can there be a world in which that can happen while the brilliant Requiem is on 90 friggin' screens?


    No Encyclo update today because of the massive one yesterday. The Sixth Chapter of Volume C was updated yesterday. Big sub-edition, nearly 200 new ones.

    Hugo
    Elisabeth Shue

    #1 has a nice view of what I call "chest thrusting", plus a minor bit of pokies, and a near miss of some excellent thong views from "Hollow Man"

    Ok, so her name isn't exactly filling up the marquee down at my local cine-plex...but that doesn't mean that she's not very hot and very nekkid! Vidcaps by UC99 from the Tinto Brass movie "Trasgredire".

    Tiffani-Amber Thiessen Scanman made a nice collage featuring 3 of the images from her appearance in the March issue of FHM. If you want to see the rest, check out yesterday's edition of the Fun House.
