M&M: ‘Black Dynamite’

I lived through the ‘70s, so I’m familiar with blaxploitation. You know, “Shaft,” “Superfly,” “Cleopatra Jones,” “Foxy Brown,” “Sweet Sweetbacks Baadassss Song” and so many more. And all of them, in one way or another, were lampooned in “Black Dynamite,” which I saw tonight at the Magic Lantern. Starring Michael Jai White (“Spawn,” “Dark Knight”), “Black Dynamite” is an intentionally bad film. Slips in continuity, boom mikes descending into the frame, overheated dialogue, amateur acting, predictable story lines and crappy action. Well, that last one is a bit of a stretch since White, who’s built like a young Schwarzenegger, high kicks pretty well. The rest of it, though? Pretty much right on. And it makes watching the film fun … for a while/ Dan Webster , Movies & More. More here .
