Movie Review: MA RAINEY’S BLACK BOTTOM

MA RAINEY’S BLACK BOTTOM Director: George C. WolfeStarring: Viola Davis, Chadwick Boseman, Colman Domingo, Glynn Turman, Michael Potts, Jeremy Shamos, Taylour Paige Chadwick Boseman has forever left a lasting impression on the film industry. His final performance in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom is the bookend to a beautiful life and career. Viola Davis tackles the title role of the Mother of Blues, Ma Rainey. Crowds come in droves to see in her Georgia. She’s not as widely recognized when she lands in Chicago for a recording session. She’s late and the same can be said for her horn player Levee, played by Chadwick Boseman. TheRead More →

Movie Review: DA 5 BLOODS

DA 5 BLOODS Director: Spike LeeStarring: Delroy Lindo, Jonathan Majors, Clarke Peters, Norm Lewis, Isiah Whitlock, Jr., Chadwick Boseman, Paul Walter Hauser, Mélanie Thierry, Jasper Pääkkönen  Spike Lee finally won his first Oscar for writing BlacKkKlansman back in 2018. In my opinion, he was robbed of Best Picture. Maybe we can reverse some wrongs with his new powerful new film Da 5 Bloods. The film centers on four Vietnam war vets played by Delroy Lindo, Isiah Witlock Jr, Clarke Peters and Norm Lewis. They’ve reunited in Vietnam for the first time in order to reclaim the body of their fallen soldier and brother Stormin’ Norman playedRead More →

Movie Review: AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR

AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Directors: Anthony and Joe Russo Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Chris Pratt, Mark Ruffalo, Josh Brolin, Chris Evans, Tom Holland, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hiddleston, Benedict Cumberbatch, Chadwick Boseman, Letitia Wright, Danai Gurira, Zoe Saldana, Paul Bettany Marvel fans have spent the last ten years and eighteen movies engrossed in a variety of superheroes and villains duking it in order to save Earth and other galactic empires. Some have proven more successful than others, yet Marvel fatigue never seems to set in even after all these years. They’re coming off one of my favorites and their biggest hit to date, Black Panther,Read More →

Movie Review: BLACK PANTHER

BLACK PANTHER Director: Ryan Coogler Starring: Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira, Letitia Wright, Martin Freeman, Andy Serkis, Sterling K. Brown, Angela Bassett, Daniel Kaluuya, Forest Whitaker We were first introduced to Black Panther, played exceptionally well by Chadwick Boseman, in Captain America: Civil War. Marvel has now given the character his own standalone film to build on his backstory and legacy. As we saw in the previous movie, T’Challa/Black Panther’s father was killed at the United Nations explosion. T’Challa is now the rightful heir to the throne taking his place as the new king of the African nation, Wakanda. He’s inRead More →

Movie Review: MARSHALL

MARSHALL Director: Reginald Hudlin Starring: Chadwick Boseman, Josh Gad, Sterling K. Brown, James Cromwell, Dan Stevens, Kate Hudson, Keesha Sharp, John Magaro, Jussie Smollett, Rozonda ‘Chilli’ Thomas Chadwick Boseman seems to be your go-to-guy for playing historical figures. Most people probably just know him as Black Panther from Captain America: Civil War. This is his third biopic after playing Jackie Robinson in 42 and James Brown in Get on Up. In 1941, Thurgood Marshall was the sole lawyer for the NAACP. He was brought on to defend many African Americans on trial as he was a champion at what he did for those that neverRead More →

Movie Review: CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR

CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR Director: Anthony Russo, Joe Russo Starring: Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr, Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Elizabeth Olsen, Don Cheadle, Jeremy Renner, Chadwick Boseman, Paul Rudd, Daniel Brühl, Tom Holland This is the thirteenth film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The number 13 is typically an unlucky number for some, yet Marvel is in top form with its third Captain America film. With so many characters it may seem like the next Avengers film, but Captain America/Steve Rogers (Evans) and the relationship he has with best friend Bucky Barnes (Stan) is front and center. Bucky’s known as The Winter SoliderRead More →

Movie Review: DRAFT DAY

DRAFT DAY Director: Ivan Reitman Starring: Kevin Costner, Jennifer Garner, Denis Leary, Frank Langella, Josh Pence, Chadwick Boseman, Terry Crews, Ellen Burstyn, Arian Foster, Tom Welling 2014 seems to be the year of Kevin Costner. It’s only April and he has already been featured in three releases, though I must admit I didn’t see either Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit or 3 Days to Kill. I am happy to witness this Costner resurgence – he seemed to have taken a break from acting – since his performance in last year’s Man of Steel was one of that film’s better aspects. We have seen him in numerousRead More →
