Malcolm X (2pc) [VHS] 161 reviews
Angela Bassett, O.L. Duke
Warner Home Video, 1994
A Must For All People Around The World
As a baby boomer growing up in the South during the 60's, I was always told that Malcom X was the violent of the leaders of the struggle of African Americans, in contrast to Martin Luther King. After watching this magnificent film, and reading THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF MALCOM X by Alex Haley, I have to say that my perspective of Malcom X has been drastically altered. He was a visionary and Spike ...

Africans in America (4pc) [VHS]14 reviews
Angela Bassett
Wgbh Boston, 2000
Massive Amount of Information
I am absolutely NOT a history buff, so when I didn't have to take a bunch of history classes in high school, I was okay with that. But when I got to Northern Michigan University and realized how some locations can completely snub African American literature by not teaching it, it annoyed me. It also made me want to learn more. Since then, I have found interesting ways to learn more about my ...

Panther [VHS]42 reviews
Joe Don Baker, Angela Bassett
Polygram Video, 1996
Just to put some honesty on This Page
The outrageous prices that are being asked for this film should tell you something about it's quality. The fact that the manufacturer has discontinued it should say more. As a former member of this belittled and demised organization i can attest to it's portrayal as totally fact based. There is plenty of literature available on the infamous Co-intelpro operations that will back up this ...

City of Hope [VHS]7 reviews
Jace Alexander, Angela Bassett
Sony Pictures, 1995
Pay no attention to Maltin...
This film is every bit as good as the Amazon review says. Reminiscent in some ways of "Bonfire of The Vanities", it is a much, much better film than that one was, despite an obviously much lower-budget shooting. If you are a Cincinnatian, you will have a little bit of side-fun trying to identify many of the Cincinnati locales where much of this film was shot. It has a totally credible urban ...

What's Love Got To Do With It? [VHS]92 reviews
Angela Bassett, Rae'Ven Larrymore Kelly
Walt Disney Video, 1996
One film to not miss!
For years I have tried to avoid biopics for the sake of 'some truth, alot of fiction'. This film, endorsed by Tina herself, is one of the best films in the biopic arena. Tina even makes an appearance at the end.
Fishburne & Bassett were superb choices to play Ike & Tina, and the quality of the film itself gets kudos for actually looking as if everyone cared about the whole project, unlike other ...

Ruby's Bucket of Blood [VHS]18 reviews
Angela Bassett, Kevin Anderson
Showtime Ent., 2002
Stellar cast, winning combination...
This movie was very well acted by a cast of talented actors and actresses, particularly Angela Bassett in the titular role of Ruby Delacroix. The story is ultimately a story about searching for freedom--leaving an all-too-familiar place, both figuratively and literally. This is embodied in Emerald Delacroix (Jurnee Smollett), Ruby's fifteen-year-old daughter who knows and understands that both ...

From the USA archives - Interviews of former Slaves before they died
This is for anyone who wants to hear the real stories of people who were once slaves as recorded by the US Government, in the 1930s, before they died. This is fantastic production using current and famous Black actors and actresses of the big screen to read the narratives of the slaves, stored in the US archives, brings each documented recollection to life. The ex-slaves that were interviewed ...

Boesman and Lena [VHS] 4 reviews
Danny Glover, Angela Bassett
Kino International, 2001
Excellent Performances
Director John Berry (CLAUDINE), in his last film, has crafted a visual adaptation of the Athol Fugard play. Angela Bassett (who received an NAACP Image Award nomination) and Danny Glover do some of their best work to date in this film. They have great chemistry together and despite being both American-born actors, are totally believable in their respective roles. The film was released ...

The Jacksons - An American Dream [VHS]78 reviews
Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs, Angela Bassett
Polygram Video, 1994
Wylie Drayer
Wylie Drayer did an excellent job performing as Michael when he hit the scences high in 1982. Wylie's fame was short live due to Wylie dying of a rare form of Leukemia in 1993, barely a year after the release of the movie. He was 23 years old.

The Rosa Parks Story [VHS] 18 reviews
Angela Bassett, Peter Francis James
Xenon, 2003
Rosa Parks
I am a fifth grade teacher, and we use this video while studying the civil rights movement. I have found that it is a wonderful way to allow the children to see, first hand, what the movement was all about. The movie allows students to get a real sense of the fear people had to overcome in order to make a change in our society. This movie is a great supplemental teaching tool!

WOW what a great movie I watched this for the first time in 1994 when i was younger but my father only limited me to the part where doe boy was taken away in the police car. Once I was old enough to see the full movie I was hooked. Laurence Fishburn and Cuba Gooding were very good I think as a black man the movie was on point but you have to listen to Laurence's character because he makes perfect ...
