Medea's Mediocre Movie Magic

This weekend while channel flicking, I had the dubious pleasure of once again catching a Tyler Perry movie on TBS. TBS seems to thrill in bombarding you with the same movie all weekend long.  Plus, Tyler Perry does have a showe on there, "Meet The Browns". To me it seems nothing more than a somewhat bafoonery comedy show. However, getting back to the movie at hand, "Madea Goes To Jail", I had seen a copy at my cousin's house a few years back. It was ok and I didn't really feel the need to watch an entire marathon on cable. However, it got me thinking. As much as we priase Tyler Perry for his brilliant filmmaking in giving Black-Americans a voice, aren't his movie just plain mediocre? Let's be honest. I loved "The Diary Of A Mad Black Woman" and had adapted it as my person journal writings, "The Diary Of A Mad Gay Black Man". However, putting that one aside, there is not one Tyler Perry I can honestly say I believe is a masterpiece. Maybe Precious, which he coproduced. His movies are mediocre, nothing special, over acted and leaves you feeling unsatisfied. Kind of like a low calorie meal. Don't get me wrong. I give Tyler his props in everything he's accopmplished. However, when watching his movies, I know I'm not in for good quality. Just so-so quality.
