"BLACK SNAKE" 1973"BLACK SNAKE" is an ill 1973 film about the slaves, of The Blackmoor Plantation, revolting against their sadistic master. After a week filled with controversial comments about Black People possibly being better off still in Slavery & other comments that make us appear less than human in the eyes of the rich, I thought this movie to be a timely choice. The film was written, produced & directed by Russ Meyer; and was undoubtedly an influence on Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained." Filmed in Barbados; but set in the 1800's British West Indies, the film follows a spoiled & psychotic Slave Plantation owner Lady Susan. Lady Susan dominates & exploits every man on the island mentally, sexually, and emotionally like it's all a game. Black or White, Slave, Aristocrat, or laborer, it didn't matter. Lady Susan treated all badly-even after sex. Of course all good things must eventually come to an end. And after an especially savage murder of the son of the plantation's main Uncle-Tom Preacher, Lady Susan & all under her employment would catch a wrath of Biblical Proportions... Alternate titles for the film include "Slaves," & "Sweet Suzy." One very notable cast member from "Black Snake" would be David Prowse-the original "DARTH VADER." Yep. He plays the role of Jonathan Walker. The film was considered a financial failure for Russ Meyer, who was well known for his many cult classic films. Perhaps the people just weren't ready for a film like this. Hell, THEY CLEARLY STILL AREN'T. COMMENTS & FEEDBACK WELCOME. ENJOY...

"J.D.'s REVENGE" 1976"J.D.'s REVENGE" stars Glynn Turman (Coolie High, Different World, House Of Lies, The Inkwell, The Wire, etc.) as a young Medical Student & Cab Driver-who has become possessed by the spirit of 1940's Gangster J.D. Walker. Unable to Rest in Peace, after more than 30 years, the spirit of J.D. Walker found his way into young Issac after a night of partying that included allowing himself to be hypnotized at a local nightclub. And within days Issac would find himself transforming from a mild-mannered square, to going on a bit of a psychotic rampage. From terrorizing old people, to seducing a host of fly young Queens, to sexually & physically abusing his own Highly-Supportive Woman, it is clear that some other force is pulling the strings-but no one knows why. Eventually the story guides us to the true reason why J.D. Walker was killed on that fateful night in 1942; and why he had to come back for revenge. In the End, Justice is Served & You will be entertained. Hip Hop Fans will also love finding out just where RZA & Ghostface got that ill "That Was The Best F__king I Ever Had..." Sample from on the "Ironman" Album. In closing, the film features a pretty stellar cast, that includes Louis Gossett Jr., Joan Pringle, and several other notables from the 70's & 80's. Enjoy! |
