It has been a tough time for Hollywood. A lot of illegal downloading, bootlegging has improved a lot, and redbox has been dominating the market for rentals. I have Zombieland popped in right now. If you haven't seen it, you're losing in life right now. But anyways, times have been even harder for Black Hollywood, just ask Cuba Gooding Jr. His last movie to hit theaters was American Gangster, and that wasn't even his movie. [Pause| Zombieland has one of the greatest intros that I've seen.|Unpause] He starred in 9 straight to DVD movies since then, did one voice-over for The Land Before Time, & has 3 more soon to be straight to DVD movies on the way this year. It has been a long journey for this Oscar winner, eh? He wasn't the only one though.
One person that may have had a it a little worse is Wesley Snipes. On top of his recent lack of success since Blade Trinity (if you call that success at all) he had a little problem with his taxes. He actually could have gotten 16 years in prison, but got it reduced to a few misdemeanors. Well he has finally crawled out from the cracks of the earth and made it back to the big screen. He's acting right alongside my favorite actor Don Cheadle.
