from the first to the last of it, delivery is passionate. it's not often i can whole heartedly recommend a movie for everyone. in this case however, i'm not just plugigng a great movie, but also a great concert. with the newfangled idea of "film a live concert, show it on a movie screen, charge people ten bucks, make more money" about to explode into our movieplexes, chappelle's block party is a great example of how this idea can work. my hands got all sweaty throughout the movie because i was so excited about each upcoming musical section. i kept on thinking to myself "am i really watching this? this is amazing!"

i'm itching to go watch it again as soon as possible. not only is dave chappelle hilarious and genuine, the musicians featured in this movie/documentary are some of the best ever. if i could make up a dream hip hop concert lineup, the result would be very similar to this one. add in some tribe called quest and de la soul maybe, or something like that. but it's hard to argue with chappelle's tastes here. the only improvement i would make to the movie is to make sure everyone is up and out of their seats dancing and singing along (which did not happen at our showing). the two hours i spent in the theatre was more exciting and fulfilling than the (estimated) two hundred hours i've spent in clubs and concerts. simply ridiculous. go watch it, now. or become my blingo friend so we can win and then watch it together. i'm on chappelle block party high, i can't help it. spread the word!
