Werebelushi reviews: Shaft

Werebelushi reviews:
Shaft
----------------------------------
(We see a male Werebelushi who looks and sounds like John Belushi,  he is sitting at a table of sorts.)

Werebelushi:
Well,  as promised -  I,  That Werebelushi In The Shades will review one of the most well known blaxploitation films of all time,  Shaft.   I will not be describing the plot this time around  because this is a movie everyone knows.    The original Shaft came out in the early to late 70's and starred Richard Roundtree. What many people don't know is that like James Bond,  Shaft was based on a series of novels.    The author in fact does say that the character of John Shaft,  is an African American version of James Bond.

This movie had several sequels including a followup in 2000 starring Samuel L.Jackson, yes - Mace Windu himself,  as  John Shaft -  who is the nephew to John Shaft.  Confused?  Don't you worry,   I was a little bit confused at first too.  

Of course the big question is do these movies hold up?   Yes they do,  after all they are cult classics.  There is even a figure of Samuel L.Jackson's Shaft in the Mcfarlane Movie Maniacs line.  

Worth noting however is the theme song which is sung by Issac Hayes,  who you might know as the voice of Chef on South Park.   Well he was until he quit the show after the episode Trapped In The Closet took a jab at scientology,  -  unfortunately after that he passed away after the Return Of Chef episode.   Chef is also a boss in South Park:  The Stick Of Truth, which is a game I heavily recommend playing.

There is a lot to say about this movie,  its sequels and everything else but this movie is so legendary and badass it would take a whole separate review just for it,  I give it ten of ten and two monstrous clawed thumbs up.    You simply must watch this movie if you haven't already.

It feels good to do a positive review on a movie that's actually good for once,  I know I did one on UHF which I will bring up again.    But this is a refreshing change from having to deal with the bullcrap that was Wired.     I hope that you'll love this review as much as I did writing it all up.

I apologize if this is rather brief but the last time I tried to do this my Google Drive wouldn't let me copy the entirety of my original review so I accidentally ended up deleting it,  oh well -  I hope this will make up for it.    Something tells me you'll probably like it anyway,  because well when I do a positive review it's usually a good one.

I am That Werebelushi In The Shades and this has been my review of Shaft,  now if you excuse me I have a few new rants to work on.
