Summary: Trash Can Juice as "cautionary tale"
Review: This film is supposed to be a cautionary tale against the pimp lifestyle. However, all this bunch of TRASH CAN JUICE (as one of my college roomates put it) really does is glorify pimping with Max Julien's flashy clothes, fine women, sleek cars, and the infamous "player's ball" (along with the fact that he provides for his mama). What poor kid in the ghetto wouldn't want to live like this? This makes Julien's militant, anti-pimping brother look like a babbling fool (despite the violent ending). Naw, the last thing that people need in the ghettoes are more pimps, and films like this that have glorified pimping for 2 generations.

Summary: I'm Still Trying To Get Over the Planetarium
Review: This movie is a blaxploitation classic. Its only rival could be considered to be 'Superfly' with Ron O'Neil. In my opinion "The Mack" is more enjoyable. Max Julien became 'Goldie' in 1973 as he stepped into this role. His desire is simple..."to be the coldest pimp in history! People are gonna be talkin' about Goldie like they were talking about Jesus!" he declares. And he sets out on his quest to do just that. It doesn't necessarily explain how he came to secure all of the women and the money, but we see him throwing money in the air and immediately surrounded by his ghetto fabulous trappings. Soon he is running a business in which he teaches his ladies how to steal, deceive and "always remain a lady". He even goes so far as to run a show at a planetarium to show how necessary it is to control a woman's body and not just her mind. The dvd includes a documentary into how "The Mack" was made. It shows that it was partially financed by the notorious Ward brothers (real ... and hustlers) who had small roles in the film. It also showed that there is in fact a message to the "Mack" and what its intents and purpose was. It would be easy to dismiss this movie as a 70's black movie about ... women. But it does in fact have a message. You're able to see Goldie's faults. Not everythig turns out right for him once he makes it big. This movie isn't a must see, but it's entertaining all the same.

Summary: Better the second go 'round
Review: This was a popular drinking movie while I was in college and we loved it then. However, 12 years later I decided to check it out again as a 30-something sober man and you know what The Mack is actually a decent movie. It was even better than what I remember from college. This is a classic blaxploitation film, a must see for this genre.
