I recently watched the Netflix movie I Am Mother, and I was impressed. Honestly, it’s rare that a sci-fi keeps me engaged the entire way through. Most times, I hit the snooze at like fifteen minutes in and then wake up at the first odd sound the film gives which ends up at about twenty […]
There are many people who have revealed they will not watch When They See Us due to fear and anxiety. I perfectly understand as I thought I wouldn’t be able to take watching it either, however, I felt like if those young men, now adults, had to push through and survive with horrific memories, I […]
If you know me, you know I stay up in Nollywood, and straight out of Nollywood came a movie directed by Genevieve Nnaji titled Lionheart. She also starred in it by the way, doing a great job with her performance from start to finish. By now you can tell that I enjoyed the flick. Props. […]
Yardie released in 2018, and when it released, it didn’t hit America first or at the same time (as far as I know so don’t check me too hard if I’m wrong). It released in the UK, so it stalled my watching this directorial debut by actor Idris Elba. Yardie is based off of the […]
Let me just say that before my man mentioned something about this movie, I had no idea where it came from. To my surprise, I had not heard about it at all, despite the fact that it had one and a double half of my favorite actors in it – Sandra Bullock and the guy […]
I know it’s December and I’ve been a tad bit slack on the movie reviews, but there is a pretty great reason why – I just put out another book a couple weeks ago, November 15th to be exact, and now I’m working on two more while I take the time to write this review […]
This movie has been out for some time now, but I just happened to run across it on Netflix the other day with my son and his Goosebumps crazed self. I thought it would be a great, spooky one to watch being that the rating was on point for him…or so I thought. Bear with […]
I know it’s been a long while since I posted a movie review although I have been watching plenty. I decided to write a movie review on a movie titled Sara’s Notebook, which I saw on Netflix, because this sucker really bothered me to the utmost. Check out the trailer below first, if they don’t […]
Today, I turned on Netflix to a new movie titled The Climb starring a Senegalese guy named Samy, played by Ahmed Sylla, who is head over heels in love with a female named Nadia, played by Alice Belaidi. From the beginning of the French film, it was told that the movie was based off of […]
So, I was all amped up to see the movie Bright when it hit Netflix, not only because of the fact that the now legendary Will Smith is the protagonist of the whole deal, but the movie actually looked great based on the trailer. Prior to seeing the movie, I’d already heard many people saying […]
I watched Out of My Hand about two weeks ago, and I forgot to write a review on this great movie. Before I get into it, however, encourage everyone to watch international movies, whether independent or not, because there is so much value in it overall. I think I have gained so much introspect when […]
I just finished watching the movie titled Everything, Everything based off of the novel by Nicola Yoon. Let me just say this, the movie kept me hooked on all sides, so I know the book must be insane good. Let me get into the movie though because I’m just in love with young, innocent love […]
Last night, I cuddled up in bed for what I call a Write and Watch where I write my upcoming book and watch a flick at the same time. I ended up watching the first thing that popped up on Netflix – The Incredible Jessica James. I chose it because it read as a feel […]
I went to the movies over the weekend and saw Spider-Man: Homecoming, and it was super great. I’m honestly not big on Spider-Man for the most part because I watch the same scenario each time, however, this time was different. This Spider-Man had adventures that the last Spider-man movies I’ve watched just simply didn’t and […]
The Suspect. It’s difficult for me to explain this movie, but even thought it confused me for at least a good solid ten minutes, I can say that I liked it. Some may ask how do you like a movie that confused the heck out of you for a fraction of it? Well, because it […]
The movie is titled The Weekend, and it takes place in London about an unpopular young man (Derrick) who is home from college and meets back up with his two friends from the neighborhood and even an old crush. What he didn’t expect was to have inadvertently gained possession of someone else’s luggage bag on […]
Over the 4th of July holiday, I ended up watching an international movie titled Masaan. I’d run across it a couple of times as I scrolled through Netflix, however, decided that since I was in the mood for a great in depth cultural escape from my own, I decided to press play as I enjoy […]
I watched Sand Storm, and I loved watching it. For those who have Netflix, it’s on there right now, so look it up as it is a great foreign film that centers around the love and permitted love along with the emotions that surround it with all the complexities. Backdrop: Think Middle Eastern country as […]
Last week, I finally sat down, and when I say I sat down, I literally took the time out for myself to sit and not work or do something else outside of the walls of my home. It was Saturday, and while in my living room, I decided to check out some movies, something different […]
So, the other day, I ended up watching KIDNAP and can honestly say that it was exhilarating from the beginning all the way up to the end. With that being stated however, there are so many parts that made me cringe until I could throw the most pointed heel that I own at the screen […]
There isn’t much Taraji P Henson cannot do. She’s a mother, black female that is doing her thing in Hollywood, making tracks from Lifetime movies and making shows like Empire succeed just with her name and talent to be quite honest while taking less pay for darn good acting in block buster movies like […]
The television 227 was when I first met actress Regina King. She played the role of Brenda, a teen who was very intelligent and infatuated with a guy named Calvin. Everything about 227 was great. Every character had his or her own way of life and thinking, making it very much like real life, and […]
I shard the GET OUT movie trailer on my Facebook page after my husband shared it on his timeline, and I fell in love. No, I really did. The movie trailer is all that I’m about when it comes to entertainment and writing my own stories – something fresh, new, and possibly even freaky. Get […]
So someone with straight hair will NEVER be rejected…ever. It still translates as racism to me. The court is wrong. I can see if the locs are rainbow in color etc…but locs can be pulled up, back and even bunned and just as beautiful as any other style. Again…the court is wrong. Laws…some just aren’t […]
I haven’t read Hidden Figures yet, but of course, I must. We all must. Author Margot Lee Shetterly has, as she states when she speaks in the interview below about it being our “responsibility to tell these stories and to bring them to the larger audience”, brought to life the story of three African American […]
My article As Seen on The Huffington Post: It’s here. It’s something that I’ve never known about the actor, producer and director Nate Parker prior to the movie, although in times past, I followed the celebrity scene and everything in it like a bear in search of honey. If you have no idea what I […]
Kidnap. I have a very, weird history of television and movies when it comes to the actor Halle Berry. Some movies, I believe, work for her, and then there are some that she basically destroys all on her own. I’m not stating this to be mean, but it shows in the many projects that carry […]
Raise your hand high if you got hooked on WGN’s Underground for the very first season? I sure did, and now it looks like the second season of Underground which is due to hit in 2017 is going to be even fiercer than the first. Turns out the second season news for Underground is that […]
“We are all homeless.” Yes we are. Just watch the brand new trailer for the movie SAME KIND OF DIFFERENT AS ME, and then say you really aren’t going to watch this movie. I call your bluff. Starring Renee Zellweger and Djimon Hounsou, this is going to end up being one of my favorite movies […]
What was once given the side eye winds up causing everyone to peel back their eyelids when a female takes to the field to pitch like no other. In the upcoming FOX series titled PITCH, starring Michael Beach and Kylie Bunbury, shows how a female took to the mound for the very first time in […]
