Blossoming Indie Dreams

Posted in entertainment, movies, tagged on December 23, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

If you keep up with my blog, you’ll probably remember that I’m the co-executive producer for a short film called Blossoms for Clara which was written, directed, and co-executive produced by my talented friend Daniel DiPiazza. (Oh, and Mr. DiPiazza acts in it too.!)  We shot for four days in the beginning of this December [...]

Wanna Fight?

The other day I was walking past some dude and I thought to myself, “I could take him.” And I don’t mean just a random squabble, but I mean fisticuffs, hand to hand combat, if you will. There was no rhyme or reason to this thought and it just flitted into my head out of [...]

Movie Review: Rachel Getting Married

I like the band TV on the Radio.  Tunde Adebimpe, one of the lead singers in that band, dabbles in acting and is featured in Rachel Getting Married directed by Jonathan Demme and starring Anne Hathaway.  When I decided to see the film, I had not committed to writing a full review.  I was going [...]

Show of Hands

Ok, who’s going to see Oliver Stone’s new movie W opening this month?  When I started seeing the ads, I thought to my self, isn’t the realityof life with W nightmarish enough?  Must we endure him at the multiplex too?  I’ll pass.  Onto Beverly Hills Chihuahua.  I prefer talking animals to talking imbecils.

Traitor

Posted in entertainment, movies, popular culture, tagged , , , , on August 26, 2008 | 1 Comment »

So after my rant the other day about wishing for more Hollywood films featuring more non-formulaic black experiences, I lucked up and was able to see an advance screening of “Traitor,” a new film starring one of my favorite actors Don Cheadle. [I have liked Cheadle since back in the day when he was on [...]

My Struggle with Hollywood’s Quintessential Negro

Posted in entertainment, movies, popular culture, race, tagged , , , , , , on August 24, 2008 | 5 Comments »

This week I was able to attend a screening of the movie “The Express”  [http://www.theexpressmovie.com/] which is scheduled to be released in October 2008.  I had seen the preview of the movie before being invited to the screening, so I knew the movie was about Ernie Davis, the first African-American college football player to win [...]

Double Feature

I saw two good movies this weekend starring nobody any of us knows.  First was The Visitor about a middle-aged white professor who finds two illegal immigrants (a couple-a man from Syria and a woman from Senegal) living in his NYC apartment.  It’s a thoughtful film that gives you a dose of what the U.S. [...]

Fantastical Universe

Posted in entertainment, movies, music, popular culture on October 9, 2007 | Leave a Comment »

Ok, so despite extremely mixed reviews, I went to see “Across the Universe” this Columbus Day (which I had off, but don’t at least agree with the holiday).  The film’s a jaunt through the turbulent 60′s  with Beatles’ songs supporting the plot and soundtrack.  Other than being about 40 minutes too long, I liked it.  [...]
