| 2. The Sunset Limited (Made for TV, 2011) |
Super-religious Christian ex-con Black (Samuel L. Jackson) stops atheistic professor White (Tommy Lee Jones, who also directed) from killing himself, then brings White back to his apartment where Black tries to convince White there is a god. The two men spend the next hour and a half discussing life, death, the universe and everything; ultimately, Black loses the debate. White leaves, and Black sits back and questions his god's motives for "sending" him to White. The End.
Our take: It's better than it sounds (how can any two-character play with Jackson and Jones debating the meaning of life not be worth watching?), but strangely unmoving. Neither Christians (at least, the ones who know their stuff) nor atheists will come away with any revelations.

| 3. Black Hooker (1974) |
a.k.a. Street Sisters
Painted Woman* (Sandra Alexandra), a sleazy hooker, who's black, leaves her illegitimate son, blonde, blue-eyed Young Boy (Teddy Quinn), with her parents, a mean preacher man (Jeff Burton) and his long-suffering wife (Kathryn Jackson), then returns to visit the old homestead occasionally, for no apparent reason but to annoy the couple.
By the time Young Boy turns into Older Boy (Durey Mason, who looks like a cross between Larry Wilcox, "Ponch" of "CHiPs," and Dean Butler, Almanzo Wilder of "Little House on the Prairie"), he's fallen in love with the (black) girl he's grown up with (Gioya Roberson, and later Mary Reed). Their love affair goes to pot after Older Boy sees Grandpa seducing Older Girl in the barn. Grandma — who up to this point has been the only person in Boy's life with any redeeming qualities whatsoever — tells Older Boy not to fret about what he's seen (Grandma's always put up with Grandpa's adultery, and there are worse things that can happen, she tells him), but (and in spite of Older Girl's plea that he stay with her), Older Boy runs away to find Painted Woman and have a normal mother-son relationship (fat chance). Meanwhile, Painted Woman is off whoring around in the city as usual.
When Grandma dies, there's a weird, sepia-toned funeral out in the middle of nowhere, for which both Older Boy and Painted Woman return. Later, Older Boy confronts his wayward mama in her bedroom, and strangles her to death. The End.
Our take: Truly bizarre, low-budget, description-defying oddity that must be seen to be believed. Despite the title, it's not blaxploitation, which is traditionally urban with a funky backbeat.
* None of the characters in this cheesy exploitation flick has a given name.
