http://thisdistractedglobe.com/2006/05/24/willie-dynamite-1974/ Film reviews and commentary tonight, before I forget tomorrow Wed, 08 Feb 2012 23:14:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 http://thisdistractedglobe.com/2006/05/24/willie-dynamite-1974/comment-page-1/#comment-1246 David G Mon, 06 Aug 2007 20:44:32 +0000 http://thisdistractedglobe.com/?p=358#comment-1246 I think this review is too hard. I think that Willie Dynamite is right up there with Shaft and Superfly as the best this genre had to offer. I like the fact that Willie is not an anti hero or a straight up villian. He is just a pimp. Diana Sands gave a very moving performance becasue she is against what Willie is put she doesn't want him to be destroyed either. Do only thing I did not like was the Pimp named Bell...he was a little over the top but that aside this is a very solid movie with real character development and a real story arc. Compared to The Mack Or Dolemite this movie is golden. Of all the movies that came out of the Blaxploitation era I think this one of that could actually be redone today with a more dramatic tone and be really good movie. Get over the fact that its Gordon from seasame street because he actually gives a good perfomance here. I think this review is too hard.
