Shameless (2011–2021)

Just when I thought the show couldn't get any dumber...

[10/10 · 29 June 2017]

it plays to the most basic stereotype, has the Russian give "oral stimulation of genitals" to the black girl, and IT TOTALLY REDEEMS ITSELF!

Otherwise I haven't really been able to identify with the characters, follow the plot consistently, or tune in regularly. But oh boy! That scene.

He Got Game (1998)

A Great Movie for Anyone Who Plays Ball at Any Level

[10/10 · 17 January 2005]

I recently watched this movie for the first time, and as a 19 year old black male it spoke to me. However, I can see this being a film that everyone can appreciate. Especially now, with Lebron James and other upcoming HS athletes, you really see the other side of life that only they know.

This movie detailed the life of the #1 basketball star in HS, and the issues he deals with before he announces his plans for the future, further complicated by his father's contingent release from jail.

A GREAT movie, don't let the votes fool you, it's not a 6.5/10, more like 8.5.
