Damon Wayans is a nerdy super-hero in this thoroughly feeble comedy. Unlike Robert Townsend’s METEOR MAN, which also featured an African-American super-hero, this picture can’t even boast of good intentions.

Darryl Walker (Damon Wayans) is a mild-mannered but brilliant geek who makes THE NUTTY PROFESSOR look like James Bond. After the murder of his grandmother, Darryl decides to become a vigilante crime-fighter like Batman. He invents a liquid that makes cloth bullet-proof, fashions some crime-fighting gadgets from household junk, and hits the street to dispense justice. Dressed in red thermal underwear, with a tablecloth tied around his neck and an eggbeater hanging from his belt, he has trouble being taken seriously. His brother Kevin (David Alan Grier), a news cameraman, thinks Darryl is crazy and takes him to a psychiatrist, but to no avail. After Darryl delivers a baby in a stuck elevator, he gains the attention of Kevin’s boss, news reporter Kimberly Jonz, and the moniker “Blankman.”

A montage shows Blankman successfully stopping crooks and galvanizing the community. Jonz wants to interview Blankman, and Kevin, who has been pursuing her romantically, says he can arrange it. Blankman takes Jonz to his secret hideout in an abandoned train station and they fall in love. At a public ceremony honoring Blankman, mobster Michael Minelli kidnaps the mayor and holds him hostage during an attempted bank robbery. Blankman thwarts the robbery, but can’t disarm Minelli’s bomb, and the bank and the mayor are blown up. Despondent, Darryl retires his cape and gets a job at a fast-food restaurant, but Minelli wants revenge. He takes Jonz hostage and threatens to blow up an office building. Kevin (as “The Other Guy”) and Blankman team up, and this time they save the hostages and disarm the bomb. They trace Minelli to his villain’s lair, and after a big fight, Blankman captures the crime boss and delivers him to the police. After a parade honoring Blankman and The Other Guy, Darryl reveals his secret to Jonz, who loves him even though he’s a nerd

The Eight Grade

        There are many different things I have accomplished in my life. By always keeping my head up I was able to accomplish them. I never gave up and that is the reason why. One of my      accomplishments was getting all A’s on a report card. But the biggest thing I have accomplished was leaving middle school and going to the high school.

          Middle school was not easy their was lots of homework. In for language arts there was homework every night. Either it is reading a book or writing an essay. In math there was homework like four times a week. We had to do book work or a POW (Problem Of the Week). As in science there was not a lot of homework. We quiz reviews and that is all. In S.S. there were mostly projects.

          All the eight grade teachers here are nice, you just have to do the right thing and not get on their nerves. My teachers were Dr. Waite, Mrs. Delcampo, Mrs. Albanese and Mrs. Ducharme. They all were nice; you just had to stay on their good side.

          The last thing you had to do was get the proper grades to pass. In science class if you do well on your journals you will pass, Even if you fail two exams. In math just do good on tests and you will pass. In S.S. just take good notes.

          Just by me doing all of these things I just told you, is advancing me to the ninth grade. As I said in the beginning it was not easy, it took lots of work and time. Also there is no time to play in school. You know the old saying, all work no play.

Dear mom, 

You were always there when I fell to help me back up. You never let me stay down. There was never a time where you pushed me off. You gave up things that you wanted just to get me what I wanted. I now understand why you would not let me do some things that you thought were dangerous. If it wasn’t for your caring about me I probably would not be here today. 

The biggest step for you was going into the army. I know it was not easy leaving us. You did this not because you wanted to leave but because you knew it was the right thing to do to keep us in a house and have nice clothes. 

Love you mom
