7	Hammer 1972, R) Solid boxing themed blaxsploitation movie staring Fred Williamson that came out right at the start of the major exploitation boom in the early 70s. The story and characters were decent enough but the movie kinda felt like it was missing something towards the end. Its fairly predictable but in a good way, because its the same old boxing type movie where the underdog gets big then the big boss man wants him to throw the fight. All in all a pretty good action/boxing movie from the early 70s. If sports movies or fighting movies are something you can get into then this would be for you. If you aren't a fan of early 70s movies at all then I'd say you probably can't stomach the acting for the time period plus the 70s fashion.

28	Across 110th Street 1972, R)
29	Friday Foster 1975, R) This was a decent Pam Grier flick made during her blaxspoitation boom. She plays a frisky reporter who somehow manages to uncover some kind of scheme involving drugs and a senator. She uses what god gave her to get what she wants just like every other movie I've seen her in but to a much more underwhelming degree here. I really wanted to like this alot more but when you compare it to coffy or Foxy Brown it just doesn't compare. Great appearances by Yaphett Kotto and Carl Weathers early on in their careers. This is still worth a watch but it can be boring and long winded in the middle. I also found the ending to be very anti climactic and sorta blah.

71	Body and Soul 1998, R) Somewhat entertaining in an early 80s cannon films sorta way. This is like sorta like an excuse for the main character to stroke his ego as a ladies man, while playing the role of a cocky know it all boxer. If you can pick it up for a dollar like I did...its worth just about that.

159	Enemy Territory 1987, R) This is one of the greatest under the radar movies that not many people even know about. Starring Ray Parker Jr. The guy who wrote the theme for Ghostbusters, along with an unknown actor named Gary Frank, they're basically held hostage in a ghetto gang controlled tenement building, where they have to depend on the help of the folks who live in the building to hide and make their escape from the psycho 80s street gang, "The Vampires". The gang led by the brilliant as always Tony Todd, is a typical 80s stereotype for what gangs were in movies at the time, wearing headbands and sleeveless leather jackets. They terrorize the people in the building going from apartment to apartment looking for Parker and frank. Beating and killing almost everyone in their path, the movie never lets up and is a constant thrill ride the whole way through. This isn't super super violent and plays the blood and gore to a minimum, but when someone dies in this, its taken pretty seriously and isn't like a cliche action movie where its just touch and go when someone dies. Stacey Dash from Clueless and Deon Richmond (the token black guy from not another teen movie) play two younger kids in the apartment helping the two main leads find secret tunnels and shortcuts to escape the gang. Ray Parker really held his own during the whole movie, and I was amazed he never really had a movie career after his solid acting job in this, and Gary Frank even though annoying really played the scared nerdy white guy perfectly, so you actually felt for him when he was forced to kill people. Overall my review couldn't do this movie justice, you just have to see it for yourself...if you can find it that is because this movie for some stupid reason is out of print and hasn't been released on dvd because of rights issues or something. If you can find it online or on vhs I suggest buying it and watching it. I found it online and it just blew me away with how solid and awsome it was. If you like 80s semi cheesy but entertaining gang suspense movies set in the ghetto, and if you're a Tony Todd fan this will be your cup of tea for sure. Also if you like Jan Michael Vincent and want to see him play a crippled, pissed off, paranoid, Vietnam vet, in a motorized wheelchair...then this is your movie lol
