About this title

About the Author:

Kamál "The Diva" Larsuel-Ulbricht, a self-avowed "movie nut," spearheaded and put the framework of this project together with her amazing collection of historical box-office data. Raised in San Diego and now living in Seattle with her husband and family, she has a special place in her heart for bad musicals, and wants vengeance for horror movies she is forced to watch.

From Publishers Weekly:

More Than "Two Thumbs Up" Countering that there are not enough nationally known black movie reviewers, The Diva, Bams and Cass formed their own critics' circle, 3 Black Chicks. They've gathered their reviews of "chick flicks," "late-night booty-call flicks," "movies that just plain suck" and other films in 3 Black Chicks Review Flicks: Movie Reviews With Flava! The women have unique criteria for judging a movie, among them "the Black Factor" (the presence or absence of black cast and crew members) and "the Brotha Rule" (which often applies to action films, where a black character sacrifices himself for the life of a Caucasian main character). Each entry takes up less than a page, culminating in a rating somewhere between red light (meaning "I don't think so!") and green light ("What are you waiting for?"). It's a unique and refreshing way of looking at films that should appeal to all moviegoers.
