Last year a film I kept hearing about but didn’t get around to seeing in the theatre was ‘Attack the Block’. The pitch I heard was interesting enough; a group of inner city London(!) kids thwart off an alien invasion on their own. Now that it’s available to rent, I finally had time to check […]
I was going to write a review today but I really like Shannon’s review of one of my all time favorites…
I had a conversation with some friends not too long ago about movies from our younger days that now seem incredibly dated. Documentaries have a great advantage here in that sometimes it’s great to capture an exact moment in time and look back and reminisce. ‘Rhyme and Reason’ was one of those docs that at […]
A year’s worth of great and not so great moments the first five months of 2012 for yours truly. I’m on the upswing right now though, so we’ll see how successful I am with another seven months to go… So I start my (and your) week off with this goodie as I push forward. […]
I was traveling when this originally aired so I only caught the second part. Now that it’s on DVD and Netflix, I was able to watch both parts uninterrupted. Not a whole lot of new ground is broken in this Scorsese documentary about ‘the quiet, spiritual Beatle’, but what you learn (or relearn from a […]
Hope everyone had a nice day off (if you weren’t working yesterday). The last short I acted in is a nice little piece called ‘State of Separation’. Among my family and friends, it’s also affectionately known as the one where I play a cop, we’ll have plenty of time to talk about that later. For […]
I had a nice ‘Politics Make Strange Bedfellows’ moment recently… In my travels, I recently met this young cat who is openly gay. I did my naturally polite thing at first, but he was guarded and I’m not the type to force myself on anyone. Some time passes and we find ourselves in a more […]
Playing catchup with life, but a friend brought this to my attention and I agree it’s well worth the read…
Some of you know better than others I’m a closet Beatles junkie. Without looking I can tell you my IPod easily goes at least 20 deep with their catalog, the Cirque de Soleil ‘LOVE’ show in Vegas was one of the best birthdays I’ve ever had. On the list of things I hadn’t experienced was […]
This is not a political post, but before I start, I have to acknowledge today’s events… For my non-black friends and readers who mistakenly believe ‘all’ black folks fall on the the same spot on the political spectrum, you are about to see EXACTLY how conservative and/or liberal black folks can be when certain ‘issues’ […]
