If you have a little time, you must check out the indie film, Medicine for Melancholy, it's simply fantastic. I caught it on demand and was blown away by the stunning cinematography and witty, realistic dialogue. Of course, it didn't hurt the movie's cause that the subplot brilliantly addresses an issue at the burning heart of this blog -- and in San Francisco of all places.
Who knew that a film could be made about regular Black people, unburdened by a need to be Black. That's the cool thing about Black people, when we don't have to be self consciously Black, it allows you to be unconsciously human and therefore, consciously free.
This is the first Bourbon and Branch Water must see film and gets four and a half shots of bourbon out of a possible five.
