Chris Spencer is a Nice Guy
21 January 2024
Merlin's quest for fame as a magician in Las Vegas takes an unexpected twist in this intriguing proposal. The idea of turning a weekend in Vegas into a movie venture, avoiding the typical Hangover narrative, suggests creativity. Envisioning a Black Full Monty with the talented kid from All American brings a unique angle. The stacked cast, coupled with director Chris Spencer's connections, hints at a promising project. Debuting at the Martha's Vineyard Film Festival in 2023 adds an exciting goal. In a comedy drought, this concept stands out-a refreshing and funny prospect to get us laughing again. 🎬😄

"American Graffiti: A Cinematic Journey Through Nostalgia and Reflection"
2 December 2023
"American Graffiti" (1973) takes us back to 1962, a nostalgic journey masterfully captured by George Lucas. Born in '67, I discovered this cinematic gem at six, influenced by critics, box office, and pop culture. The absence of diversity in '62 Modesto prompts reflection on societal norms. Despite celebrating freedom, the film's focus on young men overshadows its female characters. The soundtrack, featuring Wolfman Jack, shaped my early musical preferences. Hailed as a charming throwback, the film's technical excellence earns it four stars. The cast's subsequent success cements its legacy. @AskKirkLockhart.

Penitentiary (1979)
10/10
I cannot give this Black-cult classic a standard review?
25 July 2007
When this movie premiered in 1979 it was a sellout at our local $1 Theater in Dallas called the Texas (where Lee Harvey Oswald was caught).It played their several weeks and also at another local Hangout called the Aquarius. I am not sure why it was so popular,but I think it was because it was the Rawest,grittiest,downright Adult movie to deal with the consequences of committing a crime against others. This is a GRindHouse Original.Weak story line,but common. Poor cinematography ,but effective. Prison is not pleasant and this film was not pleasant. Ultra violent ,yet comical...? Love scenes in the Men's room are borderline Porn...I saw the premiere with my grandparents! And oh yes..men get anally raped in Prison (see Boondocks episode) This movie was so...So Baad ...that we Loved it. Ps...I have not seen this movie in 22years. So my opinion could change if I see it again...!
