THE FAMILY THAT PREYS

THERE IS AN UNFLATTERING STEREOTYPE THAT BLACK PEOPLE TALK INAPPROPRIATELY IN MOVIE THEATRES. THIS MOVIE CAN BE USED TO SUBSTANTIATE THAT OPINION. I AM HARDCORE IN MY PERSONAL RESOLVE TO WATCH A MOVIE IN SILENCE.
YET, I HAVE TO MAKE SOME EXCEPTIONS –
DREAMGIRLS – AND THREE TYLER PERRY PRODUCTIONS --- WHY I GOT MARRIED – DIARY OF A MAD BLACK WOMAN AND MORE THAN ANY OF THESE,
THE FAMILY THAT PREYS – ALL DEMAND A VISCERAL RESPONSE.

EVEN I WOULD NOT EXPECT A GENEROUS PERCENTAGE OF THE AUDIENCE TO REMAIN SILENCE WHEN THEIR EMOTIONS ARE BEING TOSSED AND TURNED BY TYLER PERRY’S BRILLIANT IMAGES.

THIS MOVIE HITS ALL THE EMOTIONAL BUTTONS AND IF YOU SIT UNAFFECTED THRU THIS FILM, YOU SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE THEATRE BY THE CORONER; OBVIOUSLY YOU ARE DECEASED.

I HEAR THE NAME TYLER PERRY AND I THINK #1. CHICK FLICK / #2. WHAT GAME IS ON TELEVISION TONIGHT?
YET, AS WITH THE FILMS I MENTIONED ABOVE, THESE ARE WONDERFUL FILMS AND HAVE UNIVERSAL APPEAL TO BOTH GENDERS.

PERRY’S TALENT IS GROWING EXPONENTIALLY WITH EACH FILM HE MAKES. AS WITH WHY I GOT MARRIED, I PITY THOSE
FOLKS WHO LABEL THIS STRICTLY A BLACK MOVIE AND MISS SEEING THIS GEM.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
THE CAST IS JUST FLAT OUT SUPER:
ROBIN GIVENS – HER BEST PERFORMANCE IN OVER A DECADE.
KATHY BATES AND ALFRE WOODARD - TWO QUEENS OF THE SILVER SCREEN
SANAA LATHAN – GIVE HER CREDIT FOR PLAYING THE VILLAINESS
COLE HAUSER – SON OF WINGS HAUSER – A SUPER VILLAIN – A COLD HEARTED SHARK – YOU WILL LOVE HATING HIM
TARAJI P. HENSON – ALWAYS CONNECTS WITH THE AUDIENCE
KAIRA WHITEHEAD – THE RECEPTIONIST WHO KNOWS TOO MANY SECRETS
SEBASTIAN SIEGEL – THE LOST SOUL – WHO IS MORE THAN HE SEEMS
ROCKMOND DUNBAR – THE BLIND HUSBAND

I HOPE MY APPRECIATION FOR THIS MOVIE WAS MADE CLEAR.
