Movie of the Week: Black and White



Imagine a movie with Elijah Wood, Ben Stiller and Mike Tyson. Now imagine that they are merely the supporting cast. (I wouldn’t use imagine in back to back sentences)That’s what you get in the star studded film “Black and White.” The story follows Manhattan’s upper class teens on their quest to become one with New York’s gritty hip hop scene. Watch as the likes of Raekwon and Redman feed prep school kids’ infatuation with “being down.” Then watch as that infatuation leads to a downward spiral that all the trust fund money in the world might not be able to fix. Watch cultures collide in “Black and White.”
