JUDAS AND THE BLACK MESSIAH Director: Shaka KingStarring: Daniel Kaluuya, LaKeith Stanfield, Jesse Plemons, Dominique Fishback, Martin Sheen, Lil Rel Howery, Ashton Sanderson, Dominique Thorne, Algee Smith, Darrell Britt-Gibson Daniel Kaluuya is one of those actors you can’t get take your eyes off of. He followed up his Oscar nominated role in Get Out with Black Panther and Widows. In his new film Judas and the Black Messiah, he takes on Black Panther revolutionary Fred Hampton. FBI director J.Edgar Hoover had it out for the Black Panther party. He sees them as a massive threat to national security. It’s 1968 and 21 year old FredRead More →

JUDAS AND THE BLACK MESSIAH Interviews – Honoring the Legacy of Fred Hampton

JUDAS AND THE BLACK MESSIAH Interviews – Honoring the Legacy of Fred Hampton The powerful new film Judas and the Black Messiah is not to be missed. Director Shaka King has made a vital film shining a new light on the work and death of Fred Hampton and the Black Panther party. I sat down with Daniel Kaluuya, LaKeith Stanfield, Jesse Plemons, Ashton Sanders, Dominique Thorne, Algee Smith, Darrell Britt-Gibson, and Chairman Fred Hampton Jr. to talk about the film. Kaluuya has received a Golden Globe and SAG nomination for his work. Judas and the Black Messiah is out February 12 on HBO Max andRead More →

Movie Review: UNCUT GEMS

UNCUT GEMS Director: Josh and Benny SafdieStarring: Adam Sandler, Idina Menzel, Julia Fox, LaKeith Stanfield, Kevin Garnett, Judd Hirsch, Eric Bogosian Adam Sandler gives one of his best performances in Uncut Gems. He plays Howard Ratner, a New York City gems dealer who gets his hands on a rare, highly expensive black opal from Ethiopia. His business dealings are dangerous and ruthless to say the least given his high-end clientele. The black opal could be his bargaining chip in hopes of making lots of money now that famed basketball player Kevin Garnett wants his hands on it. Here’s my reviewRead More →

Movie Review: KNIVES OUT

KNIVES OUT Writer/Director: Rian JohnsonStarring: Christopher Plummer, Jamie Lee Curtis, Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Don Johnson, Toni Collette, Ana de Armas, Michael Shannon, LaKeith Stanfield Christopher Plummer heads the cast as patriarch Harlan Thrombey who is described one of the best selling mystery writers of all time. He’s massively rich living a gorgeous palatial estate. His large family gathers to celebrate his 85th birthday, but the next morning Harlan is found dead in his study. Daniel Craig’s Detective Benoit Blanc is suspicious and believes this was a murder. But who did it? Someone in his family, his caregiver, or what was it suicide? Here’s myRead More →

Movie Trailer: KNIVES OUT

KNIVES OUT Director: Rian JohnsonStarring: Christopher Plummer, Daniel Craig, Jamie Lee Curtis, Chris Evans, Michael Shannon, Toni Collette, Katherine Langford, LaKeith Stanfield Rian Johnson may have received some uncalled for criticism for a little film called The Last Jedi, but I’d ignore those fanboys. I personally think he took the Star Wars franchise in an exciting new direction. His next film takes us back to the days of Agatha Christie, Clue, and Murder by Death with a good ol’ fashion murder mystery. If you ignore the lackluster Murder on the Orient Express remake, we haven’t had a good murder mystery in quite some time. It’sRead More →

Movie Review: GET OUT

GET OUT Director/Writer: Jordan Peele Starring: Daniel Kaluuya, Allison Williams, Bradley Whitford, Catherine Keener, Lakeith Stanfield, Lil Rel Howery, Stephen Root, Marcus Henderson, Betty Gabriel I would never have thought funnyman Jordan Peele would have turned to the horror genre for his directorial debut. He’s best known as one half of the Comedy Central duo Key and Peele. After their show ended, they released the cat action comedy Keanu last year, and now Peele is flying solo. There’s that old myth that the black guy always dies in a scary movie, and Peele is shifting that around with Get Out. Girls star Allison Williams starsRead More →
