Piercing Ken Thoughts: I never managed to see the 2000 “Shaft” film, but a long time ago in a galaxy far far away I saw the first original “Shaft” film. It was a very interesting time in film and this was among the blaxpoitation releases of the day. This film looks to be as much a comedy as an action film and at the point of this trailer update I don’t think that I will be seeing it in the theater. I know I will have my hands full with the crop of superhero films and the after effect of a few conventions. What about you fine readers? Will you be looking into this one based on the trailer? Maybe you need another one and if they release one I shall be back for sure. I’m really enjoying sharing these sorts of things with you and look forward to plenty more. See you next time.
