This is not to say that some of these movies aren’t good. They are in their own way. But now, I cannot put myself through watching them anymore. It just does something to my physiological system, you know?

Without further ado, here goes.

Life: Starring Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence

I know you see the comical faces on the cover. I guess it was supposed to be a comedy — but watching two innocent black men get thrown in prison for life, missing out on everything, only to be found innocent while in their freakin’ 80’s or 90’s was depressing AF.

There were heartwarming and comical scenes of course. It starred big names like Bernie Mac and Miguel A. Nunez, but it was hard to watch, guys!

The time period was around 1920s or 1930s and too much racist crap was going on, and so Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence’s characters were the unlucky ones to get locked up…all over a pocket watch.
