When She Was Bad... (1979)

The human experience is described through the eyes of a marginalized outsider, neither judgmental nor invested, just an observant donkey.

If you are a discerning movie watcher and/or an African-American with a modicum of Black consciousness, this film isn’t for you. It would be better to watch the documentary ‘They Fight’ to see the impactful, emotional story of Walter Manigan and the young men of DC’s Ward 8. 

Stand and Deliver is an inspirational classic from 1988 starring Edward James Olmos as Jaime Escalante, and his class of rag tag students in East Los Angeles. It’s the story of how a new teacher shows a motley group of students in the inner city with backgrounds as gang members, dishwashers, and mechanics — the power of self-determination. He teaches the teenagers to believe in themselves through algebra and calculus.

Dwayne Wayne and Whitley's youngest daughter takes us back to Hillman College in this iconic 90s sequel.

Overall this movie was an easy watch, but by no means a worthwhile watch.

Izzy and Prince Thomas learn that taking control of their own destiny requires following their hearts and making their own decisions.
