“IZZY’S COLUMN” “Da 5 Bloods” Gets Thumbs Up from Izzy

Israel Matthews

Hello Readers!

This past week I watched a fabulous movie starring Chadwick Boseman, (Black Panther) and Delroy Lindo. This movie is called “Da 5 Bloods” Directed by Spike Lee. In my opinion his movies are rather slow but not in this case. This film includes action, romance, comedy, education and just about any other thing you would want in a movie. The film is based on four African American veterans that battle the forces of man and nature when they return to Vietnam seeking the remains of their deceased squad leader and the gold fortune he helped them hide. Let me tell you, I rate this movie a 9/10. Why not a 10/10 you may ask? The movies being made nowadays are always quite graphic and seem to always have to include some sort of brutal death or injury. In this case there were quite a bit of scenes that I had to look away from. All of the cast played phenomenally but Delroy Lindo man, he played the mess out of his role. He did so well that I’d design, craft, and hand him my very own “Izzy’s Actor of the Year” trophy. I would encourage you to sit down, grab your blanket, get your loved one, and enjoy the newly released film “Da 5 Bloods”.

Until next week friends, stay blessed.
