Lakeview Terrace

Starring: Samuel L. Jackson, Kerry Washington, Jay Hernandez, and that White guy who was ooofing Kate Winslet in LITTLE CHILDREN

LAKEVIEW TERRACE is another pretty damn good movie featuring workaholic actor Samuel L. Jackson. "Yes, they deserved to die. I hope they burn in hell!!" Remember that line? He's the best screaming actor of all time. How come they don't have the "Six Degrees of Samuel L. Jackson?" Hasn't he made more movies than Kevin Bacon? Where the hell is Kevin Bacon? If not more movies, definitely better. He's the coolest cat in the litter.

Lakeview Terrace is this crazy movie about an Oreo couple who move next door to Jackson only to be terrorized by him each day. Not only is he black, he's also blue...as in, he's a cop. He's bruised-up all black and blue.

First, the harassment starts off slowly. A little joke here, a racist comment there. Next thing you know, he's getting all Samuel L. on 'em. You'll see. You'll be like, "What the f@ck??!!" like all them Black folk yelling at the screen at the theaters. I think we felt Black. Even though the movie was about reverse racism. Sorta. You'll feel like a victim of racism. Except the guy was White. But his wife was Black. But the guy being racist was Jackson, who's Black. And he was a cop, who you think would uphold the law and go out of his way not to be racist. But then, the movie's not about you 'cause you're Asian. So how could you feel like the victim? Let's just say that we sympathized (empathized?) with the main zebra characters.

Jackson gets worse and worse, but the couple battles back. Must be hell trying to f@ck tha police. Later, you'll find out why Jackson's doing what he does. It's an excellent popcorn movie. Buttered Popcorn, that is. Hardy, har, har, har! Really though, great entertainment with L. doing his thing in a role perfectly suited for his acting chops.

We're on a roll this week with Netflix. Another excellent movie. I give this movie two people from different cultural backgrounds. One's Asian. One's Black. She offers him some cherry pie. He gives her a fudgesicle. Next thing you know, they're having dessert until their relationship gets stretched beyond its limits and the girl must move on...only she can't even walk...
