Summary 2024 has brought a slew of thoughtful, funny, frightening, and dramatic new Black movies to streamers and screens, with many still on their way in fall and winter. Movies starring Black actors and by Black creators are worthy of note because, among many reasons, iconic Black movies are still underrepresented in cinema.
Director Jeymes Samuel Release Date January 12, 2024 Cast LaKeith Stanfield , Omar Sy , Anna Diop , RJ Cyler , David Oyelowo , Micheal Ward , Alfre Woodard , Teyana Taylor , Caleb McLaughlin , James McAvoy , Benedict Cumberbatch Runtime 136 Minutes The Book of Clarence is a comedic retelling of the biblical story of the rise of Jesus Christ. Clarence is a 1st-century Hebrew man living in Jerusalem who hears about the coming of Christ and the followers he has gained through his miracles.
The R-rated crassness of the comedy is a refreshing and hilarious take on the classic underdog sports story and a reminder of how great Snoop can be on-screen when he's having a good time. Ben-Adir's performance as Marley is remarkable, as he captures the posture, vocal quality, and energy of the singer. The film itself may be a slightly paint-by-numbers musical biopic in terms of structure, but the performances, and of course, the incredible music, make it a must-watch for anyone who's ever appreciated his warbling tones.
A campy thriller, Mea Culpa uses outrageous plotlines and steamy, noir tropes to create a story that is at times silly, but still a classic addition to the Perry filmography. It won't disappoint anyone familiar with his films, and the twists and turns are unexpected enough to be surprisingly thrilling.
Director Kobi Libii Release Date March 22, 2024 Cast Justice Smith , David Alan Grier , An-Li Bogan , Drew Tarver , Michaela Watkins , Aisha Hinds , Tim Baltz , Rupert Friend , Nicole Byer Runtime 104 Minutes The American Society of Magical Negroes follows Aren , a young biracial African-American man who joins a secret group of magical African-Americans who dedicate their lives to improving those of white people- a take on the 'magical negro' trope.
While Shirley ends on a defeated note, it's still an inspiring tale of determination and willpower. Chisholm's story is incredible on its own, but King brings a regalness and realness to the character that's mesmerizing to watch whenever she's on-screen. 12 Not Another Church Movie Not Another Teen Movie For Tyler Perry Fans The parody film Not Another Church Movie takes aim directly at Tyler Perry and his Madea franchise, as well as the many other works by the director/showrunner. Kevin Daniels stars as Taylor Pherry/Madude, an obvious reference, who finds himself on a mission from God to create a movie based on his own dysfunctional family. The parallels are not subtle as the film riffs on the many tropes of Perry's films.
Smith and Lawrence's chemistry is as good as ever, and they slide back into their routine like they'd never stopped playing the characters. Bad Boys: Ride or Die is chaotic and roughly made in the best way possible with some fantastic stunts and action sequences as good as any in the franchise. A nostalgic ride through California, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F balances callbacks to the franchise and fresh takes with new characters in equal measure, making for a breezy and charming action comedy. Murphy alone is reason to watch, but the rest of the cast, mostly brought back from the old movies, round out the movie.
8 Sing Sing The Real-Life Story Of A Group Of Theatrically-Minded Inmates Sing Sing Drama Based on actual events, Sing Sing is a drama movie that tells the story of the Sing Sing Correctional Facility and a group of prisoners within that decide to stage their own musical production within the prison's walls.
