I love 70s movies (from Shaft to The Godfather to Aguirre, the Wrath of God, and from Amarcord to Manhattan) and music (from James Brown to Led Zeppelin to the Ramones and Sex Pistols) and its culture in general, before the sterilizing Reagan backlash of the pitiful 1980s. So it is with extra delight that I look forward to Black Dynamite, an excellent-looking homage to Shaft-era movies, made for under three million bucks. Between Scott Sanders' Black Dynamite and the Coen Brothers' A Serious Man, I'd say less is definitely more. Who needs a huge budget to make a fun movie these days?
Scott Sanders, I'm also happy to note, graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
