The new Amos 'n' Andy? Critics hate Tyler Perry's outrageous comedies, but his black fans love them. Is Perry a stereotype-spouting minstrel -- or a smart writer and actor who knows how to connect with his audience?
  • Hollywood Shuffle

    Kind of said to see that state of "black cinema" nowadays. Shrill black women, the same dry stereotypes, the below par flimmaking. Nevermind Racist Stereotypes, just bad all the way around.

    To read Tyler Perry and see his "success" makes you long for the days of John Singleton and "Do the Right Thing Era" Spike Lee, or hell even the days of "Badasssss" and "SHAFT".
