    I’m watching the Black Sabbath/Blue Öyster Cult Black and Blue Tour concert film from 1980 and it reminded me how BÖC constantly alternated between looking cool as hell and like total goofs.

    I hadn't known till yesterday that Robert Altman had made a 1993 film of the B'way musical "Black and Blue." It's streaming on Kanopy, and it's a treat: Ruth Brown! Linda Hopkins! And the great tappers Jimmy Slyde and Bunny Briggs, both in their sixties when the show was filmed.

    Yes! However, there are a few who try to change the system from the inside, but that will NEVER work! They will either be framed, blackmailed or murdered by their own! If y’all get a chance, watch the movie “Black and Blue”. Went to watch it in theaters with my sister.

    "Black and Blue" honors Louis Armstrong's legacy as a founding father of jazz, and a cultural ambassador. The film shows how his life spans the shift from the Civil War to the Civil Rights movement, and how he became a lightning rod figure in that turbulent era. youtu.be/o5jbSeBHVTQ?...

    If you haven't seen the movie "Black and Blue" (2019), you need to. It doesn't and won't get the press it should, but it's a powerful movie.

    I was up late watching Black and Blue. I haven’t seen that movie since it came out in 2019. It was a pretty decent crime thriller.

    The Movie ‘Black And Blue’ doesn’t get the notoriety that it deserves The messaging behind it was superb. And a heartfelt performance with lots of great action scenes -by Naomie Harris.

    Well made thriller with solid performances from Naomie Harris, Frank Grillo and even Tyrese Gibson. Not entirely predictable at least and kept me entertained throughout and didn't run out of gas as sometimes these type of thrillers do in the third act. A decent flick from Deon Taylor who also directed Traffik from a couple years back which I also enjoyed, mostly for Paula Patton. Probably worth a rental if you like the corrupt cop crime-thrillers. 3.75/5
