Reviews
Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype
Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
May Maria Disappearing Acts for me was the best movie i have ever seen and trust me it is. My problem with love movies most of the time is the fact that they are often and most times too fictional, but Disappearing Acts was far from that.This movie delivers in all aspect of the word. Its about a young women Zora who movies into an apartment where she meets Franklin a man who was working on her floor lol. At first i thought that these two as a couple would not work out but as the movie progress you get that sense of connection between them remember opposites do attract, and its this difference between them that makes them coming together more special and romantic. I don't want to give too much away but let me say this! i truly love it when a movie provides wonderful sex scenes and trust me Disappearing Acts gives you just that.The love scene especially the last on was amazing i could not stop my body from trembling it was that good and so real. I've got to give props to Sanaa and Wesley for their wonderful performance and for being so real, they made these scene so real and i loved that. all in all this movie comes together perfectly, expect a few laughter, tears and a lot of love a movie worth seeing.
amanipn This is a movie bout the very worst side of relationships, made even worse by the characters 'black power' attitudes, suggesting this is the way all relationships between African-American couples work. I could never understand why the smart, sassy Zora would even be attracted to a selfish, insolent child-man like Franklin. It almost seems like the filmmakers are trying to make a comment, and the comment is that young, black women are so desperate to have a boyfriend that they'll put up with just about anything, just so long as they're tossed the oft-abused and misused words "I Love You". On top of all this is the casting of beautiful, charming Sanaa Lathan as Zora and, well, let's just say the aesthetically-lacking Wesley Snipes. Their mismatched casting just makes Zora's decision seem even more desperate. Skip this one.
H-MAN-3 This was a well-made movie for those who want to see how a relationship is formed & broken.Wesley Snipes plays a struggling construction worker who one day wants to be a contractor falls for a music school teacher played by Sanaa Lathan who wants to be a singer.The two quickly fall for each other.But as the months go by,things fall apart as they both struggle to maintain their personal goals.Snipes shows in this picture that he can be very charming.It was good to see a softer side of his acting ability instead of the usual action-adventure he always plays.Lathan was very convincing in her part & I hope this movie will put her career up.A must see.
colcam Very well written, cleanly told, the story of relationships in the year 2000 reveals that things really have not changed radically, but instead have only evolved slightly. Centering on a relationship that is nominally black, it could have been refitted as any ethnic group without changing it in any vital way. Snipes proves he is a great actor, Sanaa Lathan shows that she has tuned and toned her skills during the last five years and is ready to join the ranks of the "name" actors, and the supporting cast behaves almost flawlessly.
