Editor’s Note first: now that we know what’s what, my feelings are the Oscar nominated films I haven’t touched yet will start up again Sunday night. My reaction looking over the nominations this morning: there are some definite frontrunners (mostly in the acting categories), but I really don’t know who’s winning Best Picture. More […]
Let’s bring the music into this week. An oldie but goodie to start this week; I swear this song is the audio version of Sam Jackson beer to me. Soon as I hear the beat, the fists and elbows start swinging! Enjoy!
On the weekend of the 2nd Women’s March, I thought I’d start this week by publicly acknowledging something I ‘borrowed’ from a woman… Somewhere down the line, I heard Kerry Washington uses this technique called ‘Who Am I?’ As you’ll see below, it’s a mini cheat sheet that, for actors at least, can quickly […]
The weekend! I didn’t realize til this morning the Oscars nominations come out Tuesday, so we’ll take a few days off from the movie reviews and see how that falls. In the meantime, something upbeat to start the weekend. And I miss Heavy D. Have a good one gang!
Here’s your musical palette cleanser as we’re already halfway through the week. I’m in good spirits so we’re going upbeat. (And now that I’m older, I appreciate the Chuck Berry and Little Richard references in this video.) Enjoy!
Happy MLK weekend everyone! Some of the Black Panther conversations I’ve had this week turned into ‘What other pop culture things felt like everyone had to see it right away (before we had social media)?’ Michael Jackson video premieres definitely were on the list, thus today’s choice (particularly with the cast, setting and director […]
Just because… Told the homie yesterday I realized there’s a certain starlet I’ll always associate with a Beatles song. Just because, not counting layovers at McCarran, have my mind on this year’s Vegas day trip. Just because, they finally posted an HD version of this video. Just because I love this song. Enjoy!
If you’ve lived in LA for any period of time, you’ve seen the billboard. You may have even gone to one of the midnight screenings of ‘the Room’ (I admit at this point I still haven’t seen it, but I’m familiar with the ‘making of’ story, as most film geeks are. As now Golden […]
A solemn day for my tribe today. Marek Jacobs, one of the young brothers who brought me into Alpha at the University of Kansas, passed away after a fight with stomach cancer. I can’t tell you the specific first time I met Brother Jacobs, but I imagine it was something along the lines of […]
When you have the catalog of Denzel, they won’t all be Hall of Famers. That’s my takeaway from ‘Roman J. Israel, Esq.’ Denzel follows up ‘Fences’ (and the Oscar loss to Casey Affleck) with this character study about an attorney who’s out of step with his times. Throwing out his cool trademarks (and removing […]
