Tyler Perry’s Doing Life

John Stark

Tyler Perry’s back. I feel like we hear that all the time. I feel like he’s trying to set some sort of world record for how many films he can direct within his lifetime. He’s getting close to 40 films now, and probably next year he’ll hit 40, which is an astounding amount for someone who didn’t start directing features until after September 11th. From Diary of a Mad Black Woman to now, Tyler Perry has amassed a bizarre filmography containing some of the worst films I’ve ever seen, mixed in with promising content and a few underrated gems. Mostly, … Continue reading Tyler Perry’s Doing Life

Tyler Perry’s Divorce In The Black

John Stark

It is almost a national pastime at this point to review a Tyler Perry movie that, shockingly, isn’t very good. One of the great advents of the streaming era, is that his schlocky nonsense is headed directly to various streamers. this is his second film this year, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he pushed out a third. So, what’s up with Divorce In The Black? Meagan Goode unironically plays a woman trying to make her abusive partner love her, until he’s just finally had enough, and decides he wants a divorce. He’s a loser in every frame he’s in, … Continue reading Tyler Perry’s Divorce In The Black

Mea Culpa

John Stark

I’ve seen more Tyler Perry projects in my life than I think I ever truly intended to. Granted, when I started all the way back with Diary Of a Mad Black Woman, I heard that he was big in black culture, but I was far more impressed by the performance Kimberly Elise turned in than his focus stealing Madea character that became such a focus of nearly every film after that. I’ve sat through far more Perry projects than most directors I actually enjoy on a regular basis. The last film I remember Tyler Perry giving to Netflix was A … Continue reading Mea Culpa
