    Bio on the life of Rudy Ray Moore who made a bunch of classic 70's Blaxploitation films. I've watched them all. No shame. Looks fun.

    Eddie Murphy may have finally got his Oscar -- looks really good.

    Rudy Ray made a series of comedy LPs that are probably about to triple in value.

    At first I was skeptical about the black in black cinema, but OP is not a jive turkey.

    The original movie is greatness, and apparently this movie is Eddie Murphy's comeback

    Hope it's cool...but his last few movies weren't that great. It's hard to believe he's going to make an oscar winner all of the sudden...

    Agreed! This was an amazing film. It reminded me a lot of Pootie Tang but with better actors and more heart.

    How would you compare it to Black Dynamite? - (one of my all time favorites!)

    I know Black Dynamite was made as a spoof, but it did a pretty good job of capturing the vibe of those 70's movies.

    Dolemite looks really good to me and like it should have some of that same flavor. Crossing my fingers!

    Just saw this . I was very entertained

    Lol “we just had an argument about the semantics of sucking ****.” Was prolly one of my favorite lines

    Snipes was great . Eddie is just one of the funniest people of all time .
