Brooklyn Babylon, directed by Marc Levin
Everyone from the New York Times to Artisan, the company that funded it, hated this updated King Solomon and Queen of Sheeba love story. They hated it so much that it never saw the inside of a major movie theater, and went straight to the sorry-ass shelves of Blockbuster. But we kinda liked its hype soundtrack by the Roots crew, and Tariq Trotter was extra sexy when he slipped that Hasidic girl the Hebrew National. A short summary: Black Black Black, Jewish Jewish Jewish. Black Jewish. Jewish Black. Jack Blewish.
