Movie Review: FLAG DAY

FLAG DAY Director: Sean PennStarring: Dylan Penn, Sean Penn, Josh Brolin, Kathryn Winnick, Regina King, Hopper Penn Sean Penn’s latest film finds him directing and starring opposite his daughter Dylan Penn in the true story Flag Day.

He was in and out of her life making reckless, imperfect decisions every step of the way. She always preferred life at her dad’s as he made it exciting with their adventures at his cabin home. Life with her mom (Katheryn Winnick) was filledRead More →

CELEBRATING BLACK FILMMAKERS

CELEBRATING BLACK FILMMAKERS February marks Black History Month, which is something that should be celebrated more than one month out of every year. That being said, now is the perfect time to invest in Black filmmakers who strive to create art, not only as entertainment but as a lens on Black culture and Black history. The more we celebrate and invest in these films, the more studios will realize that there is an appetite and need for these films and to not merely see them as niche material. Here are some some of the best Black filmmakers working today and a selection of their work.Read More →

PAUL PREDICTS THE OSCAR WINNERS (Some of them…)

PAUL PREDICTS THE OSCAR WINNERS (Some of them…) It’s been quite the year when it comes to Oscars 2019. It think it’s going to go down in the books as the most controversial, disastrous, and unpredictable lead up to the big night. The Academy has had to back track on many decisions in terms of their telecast and their desperate ploy to cut the run time down to three hours. No need to get into all of those bumpy bricks in the road at this point. Let’s focus in on eight of the categories. Here are my predictions of who will win on Sunday andRead More →
