Love Jones (1997) |
The question that comes to mind while watching "love jones" is, "What took Hollywood so long to make a film like this?" - Minneapolis Star Tribune

Eve's Bayou (1997) |
Lemmons also does a stunning job of relaying a memory to us. She places the characters right back into the scene playing in their mind's eye. They narrate it as they witness it, blow by blow. But as we see, things aren't always what they appear to be. - Minneapolis Star Tribune

I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) |
Even though the murders are gruesome, the film is not scary, nor is it clever. We've seen this many times before, but with different titles and different stars. - Minneapolis Star Tribune

Mandela (1996) |
The result is a piece much like its subject -- dignified, thoughtful, measured, forthcoming to a point, but warmed with moments of charm, wit and passion. - Minneapolis Star Tribune

Sprung (1997) |
Perhaps one of the best things that can be said about Sprung is that it is not as bad as the profitable but completely insipid Booty Call. - Minneapolis Star Tribune

Set It Off (1996) |
It is perhaps one of the best of the few films in the last several years to give voice to the stress and struggle of being poor, working class, black and female in downsized America. - Minneapolis Star Tribune

The Watermelon Woman (1996) |
It gives us something we don't see much of in film -- young black women claiming their space and sharing it with the rest of us. - Minneapolis Star Tribune
