Black Dynamite (2009)

Director: Scott Sanders (Thick as Thieves [I've never heard of it and he's only directed 2 movies])
Stars: Michael Jai White (The Dark Knight, Exit Wounds)
Tommy Davidson (Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls [which was aight], Booty Call)
YesNoSoso: 2

The funniest, most creative movie I've seen in years. A fake blaxploitation movie that drifts between ludicrous spoof and tongue-in-cheek "seriousness" with a few little gimmicks thrown in to complete the 70's look (at one point a boom mic falls into the shot). The supporting cast is a collection of b-list, but totally under-rated comedic actors including Arsenio Hall, Mike Starr, Nicole Sullivan, Cedric Yarbrough and Bokeem Woodbine (OK, he's not really a comedic actor, but still awesome). I could wax poetically about this movie for days, but just watch it and I guarantee you'll start quoting it incessantly. If any one wants any action on this movie becoming a cult classic I'm taking all bets...
