Black Knight



Jamal Walker (Martin Lawrence) is an everyday slacker with a job at a crummy theme park called Medieval World, which is about to receive big competition from another theme park, Castle World. While cleaning a moat surrounding the park, he finds a medallion in the moat and when he tries to retrieve it he gets sucked into the past. He awakes in England, 1328, where he is first met by a drunkard named Knolte. He then searches for Medieval World, but he finds a castle that he thinks in Castle World, so he decides to check it out. The tenants of the castle believe him to be a French Moor, from Normandy, because he tells them he is from Florence and Normandie, the notorious intersection in South Central Los Angeles where Reginald Denny was attacked by blacks during the Rodney King riots.

Jamal is soon taken in by the reigning king, King Leo (Kevin Conway). He is assumed to be a messenger from Normandy who the king believes to be bringing news of an alliance between England and Normandy. Although at first Jamal thinks that all the people around him are just actors in a theme park he changes his mind when he witnesses a beheading. He gives his name as Jamal "Sky" Walker after his high school basketball nickname, and, after gaining trust from the king by accidentally preventing his assassination, Jamal is made a lord and head of security.

Blue Streak



Miles Logan (Martin Lawrence) is a jewel thief who, along with some accomplices, steals a $17 million diamond in Los Angeles. Things go awry during the robbery when one accomplice, Deacon (Peter Greene), wants the diamond all for himself. Deacon manages to kill one member of the team and tries to escape with the diamond. This wastes time as Logan and Deacon argue over it, and the police end up closing in on them and Logan makes a quick escape to a nearby construction site. He is forced to hide the diamond in one of the vents, hoping to later come back to the building and claim it. Logan is caught and arrested as a robber, but no proof goes towards his taking the diamond. Deacon is assumed to have escaped, leaving Logan to his fate. Logan spends two years in jail, leaving his girlfriend, Janiece (Tamala Jones) to forget about him. After he gets out of jail (with one shoelace), he returns to his girlfriend's house and assumes that she gained weight when he first sees her cousin instead. She is angry for him lying to her by telling her that he was a banker and turns him out. Logan has no other place to go, so he heads back to the spot where he hid the diamond. Much to his surprise and dismay, he finds out that the construction site is the location of a new police headquarters....More>>>

Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins


Talk-show sensation RJ Stevens left behind his modest Southern upbringing and family name to transform into a self-help guru dispensing his "Team of Me" philosophy to millions of adoring fans. With a reality-TV-star fiancee and money to burn, there's no piece of the Hollywood dream RJ hasn't achieved. After his parents request that he come home for their 50th wedding anniversary, the TV host packs up his 10-year-old son and diva bride-to-be and heads back to Georgia. It's a chance to prove to his family that he's no longer the awkward kid they relentlessly picked on. At least, that's the plan. But when his crazy, lovable family calls him on his big-city attitude and challenges him at every turn, RJ is forced to take a hard look at the man he's become. He may be a superstar in L.A., but he's just one of the guys in Dry Springs, a 2008 American comedy film written and directed by Malcolm D. Lee and distributed by Universal Pictures. The film features an all star cast featuring: Martin Lawrence, Michael Clarke Duncan, Mike Epps, Mo'Nique, Cedric the Entertainer, and James Earl Jones.
