Good intentions

I loved Dunbar in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and I straightaway went prowling for something else showcasing his obvious talent.

Jada is a flawed movie. It's got some saving graces--of which the presence of Dunbar is one--but it suffers from some poor writing, and shaky pacing and scenario work. It's too bad! I'd love to see a superbly written/directed/edited vehicle for Dunbar. I wish the best for his career.

A side note: I'm not averse to religious messages, but to-date I've only found really satisfactory treatment of faith issues in films with no explicit religious agendas.

Such A Waste

Jada had so much potential. it had a lovely story to it, the characters were good. i was really enjoying the movie. but then, out of the blue, a scene was used with very foul language and it was so jarring, so out of place with everything else that had taken place up until that point. i'm no prude, but it just about ruined the movie for me. you can't have a movie with religious themes and use language like that. you can't straddle two worlds. you'll end up being an outcast in either of them.
