	THE FIVE HEARTBEATS - DVD
		Townsend made waves by funding the project with credit cards, shooting without permits, and having the audacity (circa 1986, recall) to bite the hand that feeds.
		At his best, Townsend reminds of that old Robin Williams routine wherein Williams pretends to converse with his own child: a masturbatory, semi-political routine dosed with a nauseating draught of trite sentimentality.
		Townsend is neither a decent director nor a compelling performer nor a good writer (he shares scripting duties with Keenan Ivory Wayans here), and this film is the result more of an injudicious conviction of substance than any actual insight or quality.
