Coonskin (1975)

Coonskin is metaphorically poetic and artistically beautiful. Ralph Bakshi combines live action with hand drawn animation to bring you this blaxploitation flick from 1975. He is the king of adult animation for various reasons. Love the realness of his characters mentalities and the stylistic approach to his stories. Coonskin delivers comedy, action, intelligence, and is seemingly modern of the time of its production.

7.3/10

VERDICT: WORTH A WATCH!

Django Unchained! (2012)

[SPOILER! SPOILER! SPOILER! SPOILER!]

"The D is silent, hillbilly..." Tarantino pulled off the mash up of past eras mixed with a contemporary style quite wonderfully. A perfect blend of advanced terminology/slang and personalities for the time. Dialogue heavy with gruesome action timed at the write points can sum up Tarantino's steeze of writing/directing and this one does not stray away from that. Some of the blaxploitation was shocking to see/hear, but Tarantino sprinkled just enough comedy to get away with it. DiCaprio(Calvin Candie) even makes a jab at the audience about how much racism they've used. Seeing Jonah Hill was interesting. It seemed to me like he wrote the entire scene with the bag heads arguing about their eye holes. Christoph Waltz(Dr. King Schultz) delivers another awesome performance. This movie earns its two hour and forty five minute time slot. Tarantino 'sticks to his guns'. Just when you think it's over, Dr. King jests, "sorry I couldn't resist." And the blood baths ensue. I look forward to the blu-ray release.

8/10
