FLICK PICKS: 'Posse' at 15
June 18, 2008  | By Diane Werts
 
posse movie.jpgMario Van Peebles' western Posse was released 15 years ago as a black-cast oater featuring his director dad Melvin (Sweet Sweetback's), Isaac Hayes, Blair Underwood, "Tiny" Lister, rappers Big Daddy Kane and Tone Loc, and token white guys like Stephen Baldwin.


Digital cable's Starz In Black channel salutes the anniversary for Juneteenth. (Read about the black American end-of-slavery celebration here.) The 1993 film unreels at 8:25 p.m. ET, following Thursday's 8 p.m. ET retrospective Posse Rides Again. It's a different take worth saddling up for.
