Trilogy Week #27 - Life After Death

How will you die? Because you will. Everyone will die! So because of that, everyone has thought about the afterlife, if there is one. A question that has been asked since the beginning of our existence. Whether it's a world of nothingness, or a world in the clouds, there are many stories about the world beyond our comprehension. These three film makers have some great original ideas about the next life, if maybe a little ridiculous, they are very entertaining about the life we life, and the way we perceive the environment around us.

Trilogy Week #18 - Tribute to Blacksploitation

Even if you haven't seen any blacksploitation films, you're probably still familiar with Shaft, Dolemite, Superfly, The Mack, Foxy Brown, etc. Their identities are prevalent in the icons of pop culture. The stories of empowerment, and overcoming the struggles of black America. You might look at blacksploitation as so bad it's funny, but that's because a lot of these movies had no funding, and mainstream Hollywood didn't have faith in any of these films. They were made by the people, for the people, to get their stories told. Now these films do not hold up very well today, because of their heavy 70's influences, and low-budget film making. But that doesn't make them any less important in the history of American cinema. So here are three films made by three film makers showing their affection for the art of blacksploitation cinema.
