I think you forget sometimes that not everyone here hates Spike. In fact, I think most people here have always been a fan of Spike's work. Jungle Fever was flawed but very good. If Tyler Perry was making films of the same quality as Jungle Fever (never mind the subject matter), I doubt these conversations would ever take place.

Jury is far from in on this. Malik Yoba was working before this movie, and not just theater. And I'm sure he'll continue to work. But it remains to be seen if he'll get better film offers.

As far as the rest of the cast of Eve's Bayou, let's not get sidetracked with Sam Jackson. Lynn Whitfield, Debbi Morgan, Vondie Curtis-Hall, Diahann Carroll, Jurnee Smollett, etc. Which ones got their big break in bad black movies? They all done them, but which ones first got noticed in them?
