Roots: 2016
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.

I missed it when it was on Memorial Day...I agree with Roland too, but thought Levar's response was very classy of him.

What's 'Roots'? Is it a movie about gardening or trees or something?

I was never offered a part in the movie. I think they missed out on making a good movie better

Yes, suggesting a "beer summit" was pretty classy. But Snoop would probably prefer a "blunt" instead.
