Will Smith was pure box office gold between 1995 and about the late 2000's. Many people debate what was the movie that made him a star. Some say Independence Day, some think Bad Boys, a few says Ali. Almost no one says it was Bagger Vance. But it was definitely Men In Black that did it. A hit movie with a hit song at the height of 90's music videos…

#Anaconda #IceCube #JackBlack #PaulRudd In the weirdest of ways, Anaconda works somehow. Take the root idea of what 'Be Kind, Rewind' was and add in a bigger budget and you get this film. Its silly in all the right ways and wrong ways as well yet ends up sticking the landing how you expect it to go. A film thats not really a remake and its also a s…

#AvatarFireAndAsh #Avatar #JamesCameron Here we are at the 3rd Avatar film and surprisingly this is a step up from the 2nd film top to bottom. Yes this is a movie that is all about James Cameron flexing his chops at VFX and the movie looks good as hell but same time we get a pretty engaging story with plot points thats been done before. New locatio…

#Predator #PredatorBadlands #Aliens #AvP The Predator franchise has always been consistently entertaining(Barring the 2018 Predator movie which fell short despite some moments). At any rate coming off of Prey, Killer of Killers and even Alien: Romulus & Alien: Earth, it seems like we're heading down the road towards a legit Alien vs Predator movie.…

So this is a quandry of a film. On one hand, Kathryn Bigalow hits her usual flair of geo-political drama that she's known for with solid acting. On the other hand, the film does an unorthodox thing with its story where it leaves you wanting more from it. It doesn't exactly sink the movie but you're left with a "What could've been" feeling.…

We've hit the point with anime where studios can do full features films for anime arcs that hit better than what a TV show could. That's essentially what we have with this final arc of Demon Slayer. Infinity Castle brings about tons of full circle moments from the show in a satisfying way while still leaving the viewers clamoring for more.…

#Nobody2 #BobOdenkirk #RZA #SharonStone The first film was a lowkey surprise hit that much like the John Wick films captured the over the top insanity from the story to the characters. So here we are with the sequel which does what most sequels do which is give you bigger action and even more insane characters. Yet through all of it, Bob Odenkirk s…

#Highest2Lowest #DenzelWashington #SpikeLee #AkiraKurosawa #HighAndLow #A24 Spike did what we wanted him to do which is tell a Kurosawa story with Black folk. And he did while really letting the movie ooze in its New Yorkness. The movie overall is a slow burn with a good story and great acting. On its own, its a very good original movie but at the …

Crime. Crime never sleeps, it also never tips or thanks the chef. Crime is a heartless son of bitch that saps the goodwill from humanity and sells it for crack and hookers. Lucky for us Police Squad will protect us from crime. Again! And then maybe one more time then about 30 years later. We talk about our favorite jokes and why we think the newest…

After a month and a half break, 3BG is back...with a lot of stress. We decompress about the current climate in America and get into our movie of the week. The underrated Denzel classic, Ricochet. A movie full of petty revenge, racial overtones, 90's cool and John Lithgow devouring the scenery. Also, we're letting it be known, what our role as black…

A Superman film that is basically like watching the live action version of the Bruce Timm Superma…

You know what we need? Unity. We need that in this country...no, around the world. We need that. No better than a story about 4 adopted brothers avenging their white mama that was killed by the local drug lord. You know, the usual in Detroit. We talk about Markie Mark, 2000's Netflix movies, 3Stacks acting, and a bunch of another things not related…

#Ballerina #JohnWick #KeanuReeves The world of John Wick is ripe full of perfect spinoff material which is the most first world problem to have. Ballerina is one such spinoff that works perfectly because we were already introduced to this world in John Wick 3 due to John's affilation with the Ruska Roma. The character of Eve has a simple plight of …
