Which is by making genre films that are consistently better and certainly more original than those put out by almost any other exploitation filmmaker. Rent a Cohen film, whether it’s Q, or It’s Alive or Maniac Cop, and you’re bound to discover one of those pleasant surprises hid amongst the copious junk sitting on the shelves of your local video store. Black Caesar is a Blaxploitation update of the classic Warner Brothers’ gangster films of the ‘30s. (Most obviously, the title is a riff on Little Caesar.) Like those movies, this one is rather episodic in nature. We first meet the title character as a young teen. Apparently working as a shoe shine, we quickly see that he’s actually setting up a street killing. Soon afterward he’s savagely beaten by an evil racist street cop and sent to prison. Before going in he states his intention of learning the trade from professionals, as it were, before he returns to the streets. Eight years later he’s back, now played by the extremely suave Fred Williamson. Williamson is absolutely terrific here, in what is probably his best movie. Soon he’s the first black hood working for the Mob, which he subsequently betrays. In quick fashion he becomes the neighborhood crime boss, but learns the old lesson about what his money and power can’t buy........ Cornbread, Earl and Me is a (1974) American coming-of-age drama film that stars Tierre Turner, Laurence Fishburne (in his film debut), and NBA player Jamaal Wilkes. It was directed and co-produced by Joseph Manduke. The film is loosely based on the 1966 Ronald Fair novel Hog Butcher. The film focuses on three African-American youths living in an urban neighborhood. Nathaniel Hamilton is a star basketball player from the neighborhood, nicknamed "Cornbread." In the film, he epitomizes the dream of the neighborhood to be successful, as he is about to become the first from his district to enter college on an athletic scholarship. **Free Shipping and Fast Delivery**
