People the least bit familiar with my writing on this site know that I give a wee bit extra attention to stories involving black talent for what I think would be obvious reasons.

You might also remember him as the so-called director who tore open his anus and leaked out The Pacifier, A Walk to Remember, The Wedding Planner, Bringing Down the House and Cheaper By the Dozen 2.
