Barbershop<\/strong> When Barbershop<\/em> was released in 2002, it ruffled more than a few feathers. Some viewers found remarks about African-American icons, like Jesse Jackson, irreverent and distasteful. On the surface, Barbershop is a story about Calvin (Ice Cube), who runs the barbershop he inherited from his father on Chicago\u2019s South Side. He\u2019s got dreams and this shabby business is stalling his progress. But as the business begins to slip through his fingers, Calvin gets a clue about what his barbershop really stands for. Calvin\u2019s fellow barbers are side-splittingly funny, including Eddie (Cedric the Entertainer), who always tells it like it is. Jimmy is well-educated, but a total snob and he can\u2019t stand Isaac (Troy Garity), the barber who hasn\u2019t figured out that he\u2019s white. On a deeper level, this movie is not only about the social institutions that create community, but about individualism and the \u201caverage joe\u201d as the defining element of cultural identity. But don\u2019t let all that deep stuff scare you \u2013 this movie is hilarious.<\/p>\n Wizard of Oz<\/strong> Follow the yellow brick road \u2026 to adventure. Every year, I looked forward to watching this magical tale when it returned to television. Once, I made the mistake of watching it alone on our dark, cold TV porch and nearly fainted in terror when the Wicked Witch of the West appeared on the scene. No childhood would be complete without the story of Dorothy, who, with her little dog Toto, Scarecrow, Tinman, and the Cowardly Lion, make their way through the witch-infested woods to find the Wizard, who will send Dorothy back to Kansas. Relive the magic of Oz with this 2 DVD set. Disc 2 includes documentaries, trailers, a photo gallery and lots more memorabilia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Barbershop Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures PN1997.2 .B37 2003 New Book Island, 2nd floor When Barbershop was released in 2002, it ruffled more than a few feathers.
