So far I've enjoyed the remake of Roots. I didn't think I would but actually in some ways, it's better than the 1977 mini-series. And the talented, young British actor (Malachi Kirby), portraying Kunta Kinte' is definitely easy on the eyes!
But as usual, there are detractors. This time from unqualified, untalented celebrities like Snoop Dogg, who probably hasn't read book in a decade, and certainly has never starred in, produced, or directed a film of relevance or quality in his long career as rapper or actor.
This is the first, and likely the last time I agree with Roland Martin. The "Doggfather" need to stick to being a rapper and leave the film critiques to the pros.
