| “Cornbread” is a promising high school basketball player who has what it takes to get out of the ghetto. He’s mistaken for a rapist and gunned down in cold blood by two cops who attempt to cover up the accident. Cornbread’s little brother Wilford (Lawrence Fishburn in his first feature film), and his buddy Earl man it up to expose the cops actions in CORNBREAD, EARL AND ME. COOLEY HIGH is a coming of age story-comedy-drama-sort-of-flick. It’s 1964 and JFK has just been assassinated. Martha and the Vandells, The Four Tops, and Stevie Wonder were topping the charts. And two buddies - Preach, a serious-minded writer, and his best buddy Cochise, a hero on the basketball court who’s heading off to college - discover themselves, along with freedom as they grow into adults, for the first times in their lives. Two 70’s Drive-In flicks on DVD for the first time. |
