As much of the world mourns the death of Apple Founder, Steve Jobs at the age of 56, I just wanted to say that I admired what Steve Jobs stood for–leadership and innovation. As a creative person, you want so much for the masses to understand your products, your vision, and even your passion. But, [...]

I’m bout to see Black Swan, finally! I’m pretty excited. I know I’m late, but I had my own movie that I was writing,directing and producing. If you’ve seen it already, leave me a comment and tell me what you thought. I heard it was off the hook. The trailer is below: My review: Here’s [...]

Alright then Taraji. You betta do it.  She doesn’t like fur… and neither does PETA! I’m glad to see a person of color do a PETA ad. I hadn’t seen many people of color do PETA ads. Listen to the video and hear her tell you why she doesn’t like fur!

Most girls grow up wanting and believing that they have to be somebody’s version of perfect–even if it isn’t their own version. So, its interesting that today there were two news stories where celebrities were talking about their bodies. The first story involved Raven Symone’s weight loss. This latest story is Victoria Beckham who admitted [...]

I loved the recent Oprah show in which Katherine Jackson was featured. I love the Jackson family matriarch’s frankness and openness about her son, Michael Jackson. When Oprah asked Katherine about Michael’s nose jobs, she said, “His nose was too small. At one time, it looked like a toothpick.” That was honesty coming from a [...]

I just read on a couple of blogs that Kanye recently admitted to contemplating suicide. I want to make a clarification that contemplating or thinking about suicide is not the act itself. Artists are emotional creatures by nature. We experience the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. Things that a non-emotional person sees [...]

Today I flew to Atlanta to attend the 9th Annual Urban Mediamakers Film Festival. Since most filmmakers are lovers of film, its a great opportunity to see what other filmmakers are coming up with. Its also really cool to network with other filmmakers from a networking perspective. Today, I was able to meet Ephraim Benton, [...]

The most revealing aspect of this journey has probably been how I spend my time. Last week I went through one week of reading deprivation. During this self-imposed exile FROM READING, I discovered a bunch of things about my daily schedule. I discovered that I spent too much time on Twitter and Facebook–time when I [...]

People have said that this movie is Love and Basketball 2010 but I don’t know about that. Love and Basketball is classic and untouchable as far as I’m concerned. Director, Gina Prince Blythewood did her thing with that movie. But anyway, love to Queen Latifah and Common for bringing their acting abilities for my movie [...]

I like to announce on Wednesdays which movie I plan on seeing on Friday so that we can experience this thing together! What movie are you seeing this weekend? I gotta be in the seat for The Losers. I’m a big fan of Idris Elba courtesy of me re-watching The Wire and his acting in [...]

Yesterday I went to see Death At A Funeral with Chris Rock, Martin Lawrence and Tracy Morgan. It was funny. Danny Glover was a trip in the movie-though one scene was so disgusting I had to stop looking at the movie screen for a few minutes. Other than that, I enjoyed the movie, it was [...]
