Author Topic: Barber Shop David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 09-29-2002 07:35 PM                        09/29/2002, 1:45PM, Cinemark 17, Springfield OR, #15, SR-D (nothing beats loud rap music with no bass to it -- as usual the subs were missing-in-action here). Attendance about 75. OK presentation. Eddie Murphy better be checking his rear view mirror: Cedric The Entertainer manages to out-Eddie Murphy Eddie Murphy in this. This is a good film that successfully combines interesting characters, humor, and social commentary, without being heavy-handed as, say, some of Spike Lee's films. I liked it, and the audience seemed to enjoy it. Rev. Jessie Jackson has denounced this film and demanded a few cuts due to some negative comments in it about Rosa Parks and MLK-Jr., though Jackson admitted he hasn't even seen the movie. MGM not only refused to make any changes, but announced that a sequel is already in development. I want to see it.  |  IP: Logged Darren Crimmins Expert Film Handler Posts: 130 From: Dallas, TX, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 09-30-2002 06:38 PM                     That's Cinemark bass for you. They were probably not 'missing in action', just turned down too low to hear.  |  IP: Logged
