Movies made around all black actors are generally boring. The jokes I don't get - the references to something that only blacks would understand are lost on me.

I watched "The Meteor Man" the other day. It was pretty funny. Stupid but funny at times. It was an all black cast attempt at a superhero parody.

Not completely black, but there’s “The Brother from Another Planet”.

The Equalizer remake was intense fun! Denzel really made it work!

The problem is they’ve set a goal of making a “black movie” instead of making a “good movie.”

If they simply attempted to make a “good movie” with black people they might have a success.

There is an all-black cast horror-comedy-spoof called “Haunted House” which is really pretty good (HH2 is not too bad either)

There is also one I ONLY saw online called “end of the world” that i thought was a laff, and another one about some country guys out camping in the woods and a bunch of teenagers think they are psycho redneck killers and get THEMSELVES killed through an incredibly number of idiotic accidents, that only reinforce their misconceptions.

It seems like all my favorite movies I never even saw come out on big screen. Idiocracy, Dogma, to name a couple of others.
