Film Review - The Forgotten (2004)
BOTTOM LINE: What’s incredible about this film is that such a talented bunch of cast and technicians could do such great individual jobs yet be so woefully directed overall; “The Forgotten” has an intriguing premise that is at the end of the day badly executed. THE GOOD: “The Forgotten” starts off under an aura of curious mystery. We learn that Telly Paretta (Julianne Moore) has lost her son in a plane crash, and her psychiatrist Dr Jack Munce (Gary Sinise) is helping her work through her loss.

Tyler Perry in Meet the Brown’s
Since Madea was the driving force behind much of his early success, let’s take a look back at the history of famous Black actors in drag. There was Flip Wilson as “Geraldine,” Eddie Murphy in “The Nutty Professor” and “Norbert,” Martin Lawrence in “Big Mama’s House,” Wesley Snipes in “Too Wong Foo,” and of course you had Marlon and Shawn Wayans in “White Chicks.” Now just think for a second is this all that different from having us perform in black face? Yeah, I know many will say Whites do it too just look at John Travolta in “Hair Spray.” My response to that is Whites also put on black face.
