Good FencesMabel SpaderShowtime2/2/03
Director Ernest Dickerson presents this fresh and funny take on upwardly mobile, black middle-class folk (a la Clarence Thomas). Good Fences deftly tells the tale of an ambitious attorney and his family as they climb the rungs of good society. Tom (Danny Glover), determined to end the colored man’s losing streak, gets a crack at a controversial case that may finally move him up and out of his basement of- fice. When he successfully defends the admitted arsonist whose crime caused the painful death of two black teenagers, the family is off to the suburbs. It is 1973, and the lily-white community of Greenwich, Connecticut, doesn’t quite deliver on the promise of the American Dream. While Tom’s career prospers, Mabel (Whoopi Goldberg) endures a housewife’s burden of isolation, anxiety, and pervasive fear as she bites her tongue in the face of her neighbor’s racism and struggles to gain respect from the maid and grocery clerk, all the while dodging the only other black person in the neighborhood—a lottery queen from the hood.
With a wonderfully wry and tragicomic sense of humor, Dickerson expertly mines the details of domesticity to create this enormously satisfying and insightful study of class mobility and one family’s determination on the front line of the color barrier.

TNT12/01
Cantankerous home shopping network producer Lucy (Whoopi Goldberg) inadvertently hires the real Santa Claus (Nigel Hawthorne) for her channel's "Kristmas Korner" sales campaign. But Santa's presence there is anything but accidental, as his 200-year contract is about to expire and he must convince Lucy to take over the reigns both figuratively and literally. What's at stake? Not just Christmas, but the fate of the planet in this holiday offering, executive-produced by Goldberg and Garth Brooks.
Goldberg does her dreadlocked Santa thing, and Brooks sings such classics as "Sleigh Ride," "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," and Louis Armstrong's signature "Zat You, Santa Claus?" While its message of diversity is generally handled in a low-key fashion, the 90-minute film directly deals with the issue of a black (and female) Kris Kringle with an excerpt from B.J. Wrights's poem "Can Santa Be Black?" This congenial film is appropriate for ages 7 and up.
