MOVIE NEWS - "Planet B-Boy", "Drillbit Taylor", and "Tyler Perry's Meet the Brown's". Blech. International Break Dancing (like air guitar, with backflips), rehash of "My Bodyguard", and another funny black family movie.

Try "Black Orpheus" at the High, instead this Friday @ 8 p.m. "French director Marcel Camus’s re-invention of the Greek legend of Orpheus and Eurydice, set in Carnival-intoxicated Rio, is scored to the seductive strains of Antonio Carlos Jobim and Luis Bonfa’s bossa nova. Here, Orpheus, a streetcar driver, meets a naïve country girl, Eurydice, who has run off to the city to escape a jealous suitor who wants to kill her. An undisputed classic, Black Orpheus won both the 1959 Cannes Film Festival’s Golden Palm Award and the Oscar for Best Foreign Film"
