Movie Review by B Movie Ben
April 11th, 2007

Featuring Rosario Dawson

Director Spike Lee loves basketball. You can see him court-side at Knicks games. A basketball movie fits right in with his love and this one starring Denzel Washington as a father let out of prison to convince his son to sign for the Governor's alma mater is not a bad movie. Of course Denzel's mission is complicated by the fact that he is in prison for killing his son's mother, and he named him "Jesus." Try to overcome that! But, we do get a good father-son movie in the attempt.

Really, anytime we get to see Denzel is a good thing, and this also has Milla Jovovich (Resident Evil) and Rosario Dawson (Sin City, Grindhouse), and Jennifer Esposito.

The only thing I don't like about Lee's movies is, that with few exceptions, he portrays all his female characters (in the current vernacular) as "nappy headed ho's." This one is no exception.

Skintastic Moment: Rosario busts out her fantastic flotation devices while getting it on with her guy under a seaside pier. There is plenty more where those came from.

Double Skintastic Moment: Jill Kelly's breasts mingle nicely in a ménage à trois with also-topless Chasey Lain and Ray Allen.

Now if we could only get Spike to start titling things in English and not ebonics.

He'll get to that right after he corrects his mysogony.
