MOOZ-lum The Movie

This independent film is already generating a lot of buzz.  It tells the story of a Muslim family in the U.S. around the time of September 11th.  The star is Evan Ross who many know from ATL.  But Ross has a number of independent films under his belt and shouldn't be confused with the average young actor.  Other actors appearing in this film are Nia Long, Danny Glover, and Roger Smith (Spike Lee films).

The movie opens today in theaters.

Even though I didn’t catch this movie right out of the gate,  I just had to go see it because of all the controversy surrounding this  documentary.  So I persuaded my friend to  come with me to check out the film despite the fact she’s not the biggest Chris Rock fan.

If you need a little background on the film, you can refer  to my earlier post.  I’m going to go  right in to my review.

I will start off with  what immediately happened following the film.   I noticed a couple sitting behind us who were leaving the theater.  And me being me, I’m always interested in  other people’s thoughts and opinions.  So  I decided to ask them what they thought of the film.   The guy stated that he thought it was well  “balanced”.  Hmmm….well balanced I  thought.  Now I didn’t ask him to  elaborate but based on what I thought he meant I would have to agree.  The movie provided the audience with a great mixture of the forces behind a woman’s hair in the black community.
