"'The Patriot' has all the standard Hollywood cliches and historical inaccuracies about slavery that make the film easy for an intelligent black man like myself to despise. The token black soldier who finds nobility in fighting for his oppressor, the total omission of the brutality of slavery in South Carolina during that era...classic revisionist propaganda trash." Caesar: C'mon, man...you gotta mention it. Huey: Sigh... "But there is some intense white-on-white violence, and the cannonball decapitation was aiight. One star out of five."

Only Caesar can make Huey find one good quality in a bad movie.

I found myself not remembering the movie being as dreadful as Huey makes it out to be. So I watched it last night. Sadly, that was two hours spent confirming that Huey is being generous with the one star. It’s worse than garbage.
