I saw this on c&d

Ill go check it out! alot of good ppl are in it. It should be interesting…..2nd!!

No more hair salon movies!!!
BOYCOTT!!!

so stupid i will not be watching

oh please I am not gonna see no tired ass movie about a hair salon.

i would never go see this remaded stuff. its pure trash

I am sick and tired of all of these “salon” “hair show” movies.

How many beautician acting parts can Kym Whitley play? (she was in Deliver Us from Eva playing a beautician)

Is Terrance Howard playing a bad guy again? Go figure

I haven’t watched the trailer yet, but why do they always have to include the “Token White person” in the movie as a out of place character trying to fit into the black culture?

We as black people need to start doing better movies. Our culture is not just about hair, hip-hop, and pimping.

Stop it. Beauty Shop was better anyway.

I swear, Black movies are either about singing, dancing or playing some sport. Is that all we can do???

Vivica looks pretty in that pic though.

Garbage, Garbage, Garbage!!! The trailer is WACK!!!! This flick was shot a loooong time ago, but nobody is intrested. None of the salon movies were not good at all. Nora’s was THE WORST!!!! The Queens was the better one. This shit should be direct to DVD.

Vivica NO! NO NO NO! DAMN! Shouldnt she be doing films that will further her career?

This is a straight to DVD movie. I don’t know anybody that’s going to pay these movie theater prices to watch beauty shop/deliver us from eva/hair show/two can play that game movie again!

Vivi better pray that this movie is a hit, after she lost that Caddy contract, which paid $1 million a year.

I love Darren,Terrence,and Monica but I don’t think I’m going to go and see this movie.

I thought Terrance was looking for a role to define him. I guess any check is better than no check though.

I miss the days of movies like: Soul Food, The Best Man, The Wood, The Brothers etc… All those good ass Black movies that came out in the mid 90’s to early 2000’s that portrayed black people as regular ass American citizens. No gimmicks just real people.

Vivica needs to call it a career because she is doing the opposite of what you are supposed to do as you get older. She is regressing not progressing.

Wow.

oh wow gee. this movie is so not at all geared towards a black audience. black people are only concerned with chillin’ at ‘da hair shop. *rolls eyes*

what the!?# WACK!!

please can we come creativee already. as black screenwriter go they seem to be lacking let us pray for one with a gift of creativity no more hair salon, nail salon or project based killing thug ghetto movies

This movie was made more than two years ago (which explains why Terrance howard is in it, I would hope his career is further along that accepting a role like this.) Clearly it can’t be too good or have too much buzz if it is still yet to be released. Poor Vivica. I used to think she would what Halle was four years ago. Guess not.

Wow, I think the last movie Monica Calhoun was in was Gang Of Roses, not that it was worth watching..

As if we don’t have a multitude of coontabulous films out already (especially in this genre). I feel like the only black films deemed “great” are either biopics, love drama’s w/ family reunions, or the infamous gang banging/hood movies~ sadly SMH.

&….would any1 care to share w/ me why these producers ALWAYS feel the need to throw in an “OVERLY flaming” homosexual male & a “token white urbanized girl” into these films????

as if the 500 other black hair movies are not enough, people need 2 start sueing now lol

No Creativity- GIVE ME SOMETHING THATS NOT SOO STEROTYPICAL! …they need to try something new.

I’m tired of : a) Hair salon movies, b) Big Mama type movies, c) Dancing ala You Got Serve movies, d) Stereotypical ala Soul Plane movies

90% of them have the same kind of poor concept, script and overly stereotypical jokes, and same actors playing the same types of roles. Always gotta have the loud always-horny man eating chick (KIM WITLEY, I KNOW YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN TO PLAY THE SAME OL’ ROLE), the overly effeminate gay brother, the playa or thug or pimp, the token white girl, the vicious old man, I mean what the f*ck? I already know how what’s gonna happen, how it’s gonna happen and how the movie will end. Before black hollywood starts complaining they need to step up their game, whether in comedy or drama.

@ MISSENVIED, we’re on the same page.

That short hair cut looks good on Vivica

Why are they making all of the black movies be centered around barbershops and hair salons. I feel like the African American community should stand up and change this fad that is going on. I believe this is why black actors and actresses options on the type of roles they are being offered are limited. What do you think?

umm.tha only hair salon movie i like this far is the barbershop.
lol

This is obviously a picture that’s been on the shelf for awhile…Because that looks like the old cute-before-she-fucked-up-her-face Vivica.

They hardly ever make sophisticated black movies with complex characters because we don’t go to see them!!!!

This is the shit that sells!

I can’t remember the title, but there was a good independent movie that came out last year about a black woman whose family struggled within a poorly designed housing project (like what housing project isn’t poorly designed) and came up with an improved design and fought the city to have it built. This movie also included a plot about her white nemesis within the government whose family had their own struggles including a son who loved black culture and frequented the same housing projects.

I didn’t get a chance to see it in the theater, because it disappeared so fast due to lack of support. Does anybody remember the title of this movie? I’d like to put it in my Netflix queue.

Also, a good tip: This is very good thriller from the 90’s starring Dennis Haysbert called Suture. It should have been big, but again, it was considered “too intelligent and arty” for the mainstream black audience. Since when are movies too smart for us? I guess when we don’t support them. Hollywood does the math, you know. Anyway, here’s the link:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108260/

Also, go to support black filmmaker Charles Burnett’s masterpiece, “Killer of Sheep”. As the link will explain, this is considered to be one of the most important films of the past 30 years. It is playing in independent venues across the nation. We should be supporting films like these along with the more mainstream black fare.

BECAUSE IT’S A SMALL INDEPENDENT FILM DOESN’T MEAN IT’S NOT AS GOOD OR AS FUNNY OR SCARIER THAN A BIG BUDGET MOVIE. MOST OF THE TIME, IT’S THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE.

Also check out the movie “George Washington”

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0262432/

In regards to taking any movie role that comes their way even if it sucks (ie Nick Cage, Samuel L. Jackson), I see that Terrence Howard is doing the same thing!!

I would not pay to watch this movie. Hell I wouldn’t even watch a free bootleg copy of this shit.

@ 15 what did happen to the good black movies like waiting to exhale, love jones, eves bayou, soul food, etc. Back when black screenwriters were more creative. When the movies were good and funny and made you think. VIVCA should have done alot with her career after the Kill Bill movies, but she took 10 steps back! what the hell i was so happy for her when she got those movies.

ps i love the short hair on her tho.

Why? I mean seriously? SMDH!!

@24 MISENVIED

Because according to the Black Hair Salon Movie Charater Template, gay is the new coon/clown. The queen always gets the immediate laugh. It’s usually at “her” expense, though.

PEOPLE CHECK YOUR LOCAL LISTINGS BECAUSE I’M SURE THIS ONE WILL BE GOING STRAIGHT TO BET! MOST LIKELY THIS FRIDAY AT 8!!!

wait, how old is this movie? that must be an “old” face of viv cause she has her old features. she looks nice, like the old vivica.

I saw this movie last year. It’s a complete rip off of Barber Shop. Don’t waste your time. **yawn** I don’t know why it has taken so long to surface/resurface.

I SEE THEY HAVE A FEW OF THE USUAL LOW-BUDGET BET MOVIE ACTORS

MONICA CALHOUN
KIM WHITELY
TARAL HICKS (SHE’S MOVING UP)

I DIDN’T KNOW STAN WAS STILL ALIVE

WHERE’S LISA RAYE,LARK VOORHIES, KADEEM HARDISON, MEL JACKSON, VANESSA WILLIAMS, VANESSA BELL CALLOWAY ETC….

Same script, different cast. This needs to go straight to TBS.

Dammit Hollywierd, we as a people do a lot more than just hair.

Vivica looks good though, reminds me of her Set It Off days.

I totally support all of the Independent and low budget films. Does anybody remotely realize how hard it is to get a film green-lighted to the big screen! These dayz people don’t want to spend all that damn money anyways at the movies so DVD is a good look! Times have changed do your homework! Stop getting sick of Beauty Shop, Pimp and Gang bang movies because they aint going no where…lets just hope the shit is good.. As far as Vivica and her career…again I suggest people do there homework! Big Viv is not stopping anytime soon! You don’t have to be a young chicken to make that money! When you love what you do it doesnt matter if it’s big screen…low budget….theatre…or stage! GO Big VIV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you kidding me???

this had to have been done eons ago because vivica’s face no longer looks that good…that was the soul food face..she now has the micheal jackson death is a mystery face…lol

#42 or anyone actually, what was the name of that show Kim Whitley and Vanessa BC had on BET? I totally forgot about Lark Vorhees, I wonder if she’s still a dime piece. She’s the only lady in my opinion that gave Stacey Dash any competiton as far as looks are concerned. But them SD Playboy pics are something serious.

#46 LOL..

@#44 BC

oooooookay……………

As I said, small films will be green-lighted when you SUPPORT them. BTW, here’s the homework: A lot of independent films are self-financed and submitted to key film festivals for bidding. If the film is good and/or promising with good buzz, a major

As I said, small films will be green-lighted when you SUPPORT them. BTW, here’s the homework: A lot of independent films are self-financed and submitted to key film festivals for bidding. If the film is good and/or promising with good buzz, a major studio will pick up the film for distribution, allowing for a suitable or wider release.

That’s where the support component factors in. If the gross is low on opening weekend, the film will most likely disappear in about three weeks time.

I’ll wait till it come out on DVD

This movie is old…it’s pre-plastic surgery Vivica.

Looks typical and predictable, but I try to support most Black movies. I’ll probably check it out.

I will not spend $10 at the movie theather to see this mess. It’s going straight to video anyways!

Must be old…Terrence Howard would never show up in “this type” of movie, cuz he is Oscar worthy now.

The movie looks like it’s made for STR8 to DVD or Cable.

The only good thing is: Vivica actually looks good for a change.

WELL IM LOVING THE CAST AND IM GOING TO SUPPORT THIS MOVIE…

#47 The show Kym Wyhitley and Vanessa Bell Calloway and that Sheryl woman had on BET was “Oh Drama”.

It sort of reminds me of a reverse barbershop! The concept seems almost the same,just its a beauty salon . They have had quite a few movies like this in recent years, so it would be nice to see something a lil different.I will say that Vivica Fox looks really nice with the short hairstryle:) It is becomign tiher face in this movie! Not sure how old this movie is,but she does look nice,more natural in this movie .
The cast appears to be very good aswell,but more likely than not Ill wait till it hits cable or dvd, and Ill watch it then!

What is it that women do in the salon : TALK ABOUT MEN

Vivica Fox can’t give me any advice about a man.

Remember she is a stalker. You know you are crazy when CURT JACKSON (50 CENT) NEED A ORDER OF PROTECTION.

And Terrence Howard is married to a ________ women
He can’t tell me anything either. Go figure
SORRY MS.FOX
I’M GOING TO THE MALL INSTEAD

They filmed this movie in Baltimore like 3 years ago…just putting it out now?
Vivica doesnt loook like a thundercat yet in the pic..should have kept in on the shelf.

Why doesn’t Vivica’s face look tightly wrapped around the bones like it usually does? It actually looks nice. Movie looks corny though. Won’t be going to see this one. I’m surprised at Terrence Howard. He’s moving up in the industry. Don’t follow “Pride” with this garbage.

lovin the hair
hatin the movie trailer

Wow..we got the gurl from Players Club…i still feel a lil mad at her for wat she did for Diamond. Ever time i see her movies, i always come back to that. U oh gurl Kim Whitley (is that her name?) from the Friday After Next, thats where i remember her from mostly, Soulfood hearthrob, ? and ? and ol dude from Jamie Foxx show AND VIVICA FOXX! I hope they atleast TRY to make it different. I agree with # 7 Babychief…they always put one different person in the movie to STAND OUT. I always remember the asian person on there but now there tryin somethin different…yea right. I’ll prob. catch on HBO next year.

Straight to DVD.

How old is that?!!!! Cuz Vivica looks good as Hell! So I kno that aint Recent!

Bam Bam the movie is “The Architect”

i been hearing bout this movie for like the past 3 years… thats why everybody look so young (and vivica face not fucked up) cuz they shot the movie like 3 years ago

Please tell me that is not Terrance Howard who was nominated for a damn Oscar, in a movie called “The Salon!” don’t give Imus material.

Believe it or not some folks act because they love the craft, the money is just a bonus…so that’s why you would see someone like Terrence Howard in a not so hot film, they just want to do what they love…

it looks low budget. did they rebuild vivica’s face? b/c i remember those plastic surgery gone wrong photos!

Short hair works for ol’ Viv….good look for her! Better than those heavy, excessive weaves!

it doesn’t look so bad! hey, we all spend a lot of time in the salon…why not go see it in theatres, again! every movie i’ve seen has been done before. there are only so many movies w/ “us” in them, why not support?!

Even the tagline is dumb!!!! Straight-to-DVD you go!
