They Cloned Tyrone Being Reviewed Well
Over on the streamer’s Top 10 charts, They Cloned Tyrone is still climbing. Yes, a bunch of people went out to the theater to see Barbie an Oppenheimer last weekend. But, as they settled in at home afterward, they loved the Netflix movie as well. It’s been getting great reviews. ComicBook.com’s Charlie Ridgely reviewed the wild genre mash-up for the site. He commended director Juel Taylor’s vision and the style of They Cloned Tyrone. Check out more of his impressions down below!
“In his feature directorial debut, Juel Taylor delivers a wildly entertaining film that is both a hysterical black comedy and a seething examination of systemic racism in America,” Ridgely begins. “They Cloned Tyrone is as much a devastating sci-fi tale as it is a beautiful homage to the Blaxploitation films of the 1970s. It’s a lot to balance, but Taylor pulls it off with a keen eye behind the camera. Cinematographer Ken Seng also succeeds in bringing a unique kind of life to the Glen, using every shot to make it feel familiar and unknown at the same time.”
Jamie Foxx Thanks Fans For Their Support
Jamie Foxx has had quite a few strange months this year. Thankfully, the actor is okay after a major health scare that had him in the hospital for a while. But, he’s out now working again and enjoying the summer. Foxx took a second to thank all the fans for their well-wishes and prayers after the accident. He also took time to explain why he didn’t say anything about the hospitalization until now. Basically, the comedian told Instagram that he wanted fans to be at ease.
“I know a lot of people were waiting or wanting to hear updates but to be honest with you, I just didn’t want you to see me like that man,” Foxx said. “I want you to see me laughing, having a good time partying, cracking a joke, doing a movie, television show. I didn’t want you to see me with tubes running out of me and trying to figure out if I was gonna make it through.”
“To them, to God, to a lot of great medical people, I’m able to leave you this video,” he continued. “I cannot tell you how great it feels to have your family kick in in such a way, and y’all know they kept it airtight, they didn’t let nothing out, they protected me, and that’s what I hope that everyone could have in moments like these.”
