If you have not watched any Mel Brooks films, this is a good introduction. It's a silly satire that is funny and very entertaining. Mel Brooks, Madeleine Kahn, Harvey Korman, and Cloris Leachman show us who the true icons of comedy are. I never get tired of watching this film. This film is a classic and should be in any comedy collection.
Set against the backdrop of mid-gentrification Oakland, this darkly funny and timely comedy follows Collin (Daveed Diggs), an African-American ex-con with three days left on his probation. Aside from his friendship with trouble-prone best pal Miles (Rafael Casal) threatening his freedom, Collin witnesses a cop (Ethan Embry) shoot an unarmed black man-an incident he can't report as it occurred while he was out after curfew. With Janina Gavankar, Jasmine Cephas Jones, Tisha Campbell-Martin. 95 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks English DTS HD 5.1 Master Audio, Spanish Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles English (SDH), Spanish; audio commentary by Diggs, Casal. Two-disc set.

Daveed Diggs and Rafael Casal have hit a home run with this film on a shoestring budget. They also star in the film. Though it is a comedy, it's a drama in disguise. This film should also be part of any black history collection. For anyone familiar with Oakland, CA, you will recognize some of the unique aspects of that city and yet, it has the air of many urban environments. A film that can be viewed many, many times.

Another fantastic Spike Lee film. Many of us who grew up in the '60's did not know this story. It's entertaining & funny while at the same time refusing to let us turn away from racism and black oppression. John David Washington gave a stellar performance. This film should be a part of any black history collection.

Sgt. Pepper is a collection of great songs like, "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds," "With a Little Help From my Friends," and "When I'm Sixty-Four." The Beatles will "live" in perpetuity. They are the cream of musical genius'. Any of their works are classics.

If you appreciate blues, jazz, and pop from the 30's & '40's sung by a groundbreaking female artist, Billie Holiday is one of the most important icons from that era. She made an indelible mark on blues and jazz.
