The music isn’t overpowering, there is no fast editing, and yet there is something that has been missing in filmmaking these days: good god-damn acting. It’s one of the best films he’s ever done...

Love And Other Drugs: Good Performances, But What Did I Just Watch?

Redbox is a wonderful thing for those seeking the latest releases. It’s not so great when you are a film critic. Since most films these days don’t turn me on, I rarely rent anything. Anne Hathaway. Jake Gyllenhall. Story involving sex and Viagra. A Win. Or so I thought. The beginning, with that Spin Doctors... Read more »

Black Entertainment and The Resistence To Criticize Our Own Content

Denyce Lawton of Tyler Perry’s House Of Payne lamented on her Facebook account that black people should be more supportive and less critical of their own people. This came apparently because someone on the Global14 site expressed a fatigue over the fact that certain black male actors constantly portray characters in drag. Since reality never... Read more »

N-Secure Isn't Sure What It Wants To Be

You hear the battle cry from the African-American community often enough.  “Go see black films so more black films can be made!”. Let’s try this in another context.  “If ugly guys get to go on dates with beautiful women, the ugly guys will get laid more!”.  If you are an attractive woman and can get... Read more »
