Ron O'Neal and Sheila Frazier in Super Fly (Gordon Parks Jr., 1972)

Cast: Ron O'Neal, Carl Lee, Sheila Frazier, Julius Harris, Charles McGregor, Sig Shore, Polly Niles, Yvonne Delaine. Screenplay: Phillip Fenty. Cinematography: James Signorelli. Costume design: Nate Adams. Film editing: Bob Brady. Music: Curtis Mayfield. 

I know why the Criterion Channel grouped Super Fly into its "'70s Car Movies" collection, because there's nothing more evocative of the milieu than the shots of Priest's tricked-out Cadillac Eldorado nosing its sharklike way through the streets of 1970s Manhattan. But it's a movie that transcends categorization, especially the "blaxploitation" one with which it has become synonymous. It's a portrait of an American subculture at a pivotal moment in history, when Black lives were moving out of physical and cultural ghettoization and into their still problematic place in the American mainstream. Gordon Parks Jr.'s film is rough-hewn and raw, sometimes awkwardly scripted and acted, but also darkly vital. It's a near-tragic story about a man's hope to be freed from the affluence of criminality, only to be thwarted by both the whites who don't want him to be free and those of his own kind who choose to remain exploited. Curtis Mayfield's songs tell the story of Youngblood Priest (Ron O'Neal) in their own way, operatically heightening the screenplay's narrative and the camera's images. And it has to be reiterated that Super Fly has a lot in common with a film from the same year, Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather. Youngblood Priest and Michael Corleone share the same hopes and face the same cruel forces.

Kierra Frazier at Politico:

Former President Donald Trump said Friday he will vote against a Florida ballot measure that would enshrine the right to abortion in the state constitution — a day after he angered some of his evangelical supporters with remarks about restrictions on the procedure.

Trump said in a TV interview that he still disagrees with the six-week ban imposed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Republicans in the state but that he would vote against Amendment 4 because he opposed what he calls “radical” access to the procedure favored by Democrats. “All of that stuff is unacceptable, so I will be voting no for that reason,” he said in an interview with Fox News. His remarks, which included an inaccurate description of abortion laws that he frequently repeats, appeared to be an effort at damage control a day after he angered supporters by seeming to moderate his views on abortion as he faces what polls show is an increasingly tight race against Vice President Kamala Harris. The vice president pounced on his remarks. “Trump just made his position on abortion very clear: He will vote to uphold an abortion ban so extreme it applies before many women even know they are pregnant.”

Some evangelicals were critical of remarks Trump made Thursday in another TV interview in which he criticized the six-week ban and seemed to indicate that, as a Florida resident, he would vote “yes” on Amendment 4 in the November election. “I’m going to be voting that we need more than six weeks,” he told NBC. His campaign later clarified that he hadn’t yet said how he would vote on the Florida measure. Amendment 4 would guarantee a right to abortion under the state constitution until the fetus is viable or if necessary to protect the health of the mother. It was put on the ballot in response to the six-week ban pushed by DeSantis and other Republicans after the Supreme Court, with a conservative majority because of Trump’s appointees, overturned Roe v. Wade.

A day after Donald Trump said he was going to vote in favor of expanding abortion protections in Florida, Trump changed his mind and will vote no, likely because of the anti-abortion lobby pressure.

"Kur isha boksier në vitet 1970, u godita me grusht në fytyrë nga Joe Frazier, i rrëzuar nga Muhammad Ali, dhe i rrëzuar disa herë nga Ron Lyle para se të ngrihesha dhe të fitoja. Të gjitha luftimet kishin një gjë të përbashkët: kur mbaruan, nuk më kujtohej dhimbja. Harrova gjunjët e dobët, prerjet, gjakun në sytë e mi.

Pa filmat e luftimeve të mia, i kisha hequr fare nga mendja. Është e njëjta gjë kur kalon momente të vështira: Mos lejo që dhimbja dhe zhgënjimi të qëndrojnë brenda. - George Foreman

"The Hitter" (1979) is a late-entry blaxploitation film that features "Superfly" star Ron O'Neal and his love interest from the movie Shelia Frazier. After the success of "Superfly," Ron O'Neal was much more successful in Hollywood, starring in over 50 films and directing two movies. "The Hitter" is a tough movie as we journey with O'Neal and his street-fighting hustle. It's an enjoyable movie as the film's leading trio of actors, O'Neal, Frazier, and Adolph Caesar, carry you through with their cool and charismatic personalities. Caesar saw his first significant role in this movie and did not disappoint.

Like many blaxploitation movies, the soundtrack (produced by Garfeel Ruff) makes the film slightly better than it is. Still, it's a personal favorite film of mine, and I recommend it to those who want to get that nostalgic feeling of the era.

Director: Christopher Leitch Writers: Christopher Leitch (screenplay), Ben Harris (screenplay)

Starring Ron O'Neal, Sheila Frazier, Adolph Caesar, Bill Cobbs, Dorothi Fox, Alfie Brown

Storyline An ex-professional boxer (O'Neal) tries to make a new start when teaming up with a fast-talking but aging hoodlum (Ceaser) and an ex-call girl (Frazier) but soon get more than they bargained for when crossing an adversary from their past (Cobbs).

This movie is only available on VHS, YouTube, and other streaming services. I would like to see a remastered release one day soon
