"Even though his music isn’t a huge influence on Vampire Weekend, I’d say Expensive Shit was probably the first African record I listened to a lot. In my early teens, I was into punk rock, and looking at the album cover, it fit in with that aesthetic. I learned the backstory about Fela getting busted for drugs. It was my introduction not only to the music, but also to the political situation."

James McAvoy (0 more)
My first thoughts while watching this: baby James McAvoy was so cute, and is this real life? These extreme African leaders are sort of the butt of jokes all of the time, but you think, surely this couldn't be real life.
This film is told from the perspective of McAvoy's character. Whittaker's portrayal of Idi Amin was interesting. Though this movie is pretty good, you only really need to watch it once.

The War Within
Da 5 Bloods- is a excellent war drama, the acting, the drama, spike lee did a excellent job with this film.

The plot: Four African American vets battle the forces of man and nature when they return to Vietnam seeking the remains of their fallen squad leader and the gold fortune he helped them hide.

Delroy Lindo is excellent in this.

I highly recordmend watching this. It is on netflix so go watch it.

Hilarious fish out of water Eddie Murphy vehicle that hits all the right notes.
Murphy produces his best African Prince impersonation with aplomb and dazzles the audience with that wide smile whenever he is onscreen and rivals Tom Cruise's smile st times.
This is some of Eddie's best work along side Trading Places and Beverley Hills Cop and this film was made at the height of his career.
Its Comedy Gold and a stone cold classic.
