So what happens when you take Batman and his mythology, and apply it to the timeless holiday story, ‘A Christmas Carol’? The result is ‘Batman: Noel’, a well done hybrid of two very popular stories/characters. I’m going to assume somewhere down the line you’ve seen at least one version of A Christmas Carol so […]
So if you’re like me, you’re probably still digesting your giblets. Got an extra day off work. If you’re really like me, you’re avoiding anything that remotely resembles a shopping center this weekend. So what do you do hot shot, what do you do? I’ll tell you what to do; you can catch “Lady […]
A friend across the pond has passions similar to mine so when I got home tonight I shot a quick video promoting our mutual interests. You can see that below. The mustache I’m sporting for another week is for Movember; it’s certainly drawn attention to that cause. I guess at the moment I’m socially […]

‘African-American Short Films’ gets an early start this weekend, in the state where my roots can be traced back to. Thursday night, the show airs on Baton Rouge’s KWBJ at 8 P.M. I’ve passed through Baton Rouge many times of course; as I’ve stated in this space, I spent a small part of my […]

B-man, What up? So kudos to you first for taking on the job on such short notice. You’ve got the pedigree the Academy likes, and at this point, I don’t think anyone has any expectations for next year’s show. So having said that, I think this year is the perfect opportunity to do something […]
My interests cover a lot of ground, but I can’t say I’m anyone’s Hunter S. Thompson fan. Don’t dislike the man, just not in my wheelhouse. I ‘got’ Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas as one big acid trip (and a good Terry Gilliam piece) but that’s as far as it moved me. So […]
I’ll keep this one short and sweet… The syndicated program “African-American Short Films” has selected “Lady In My Life” as one of its featured films for this quarter. Like many of you, I’ve caught the show on a Sunday afternoon when it comes on; I’m tremendously humbled and thrilled to have my film be […]
Stokely Carmichael. Assata Shakur. Angela Davis. Bobby Seale. Huey P. Newton. For my generation, if you grew up around a certain dynamic those are all names you knew and heard about often, without living through the Experience. “The Black Power Mixtape” is a well-edited documentary that casts an eye on what those times were like […]
