Tyler Perry brings us another film this year starring Angela Bassett and himself. Meet The Browns, another film based off one of his stage plays, follows a single mother from Chicago (Bassett) that struggles to make ends meet. After learning about her father’s passing, she travels to Georgia to meet and bond with a family she never knew she had.
Will Smith had a great year in 2007 but, looks like he will continue to break box office in 2008 with his new film Hancock. In this movie, Smith plays an slummed out superhero despised by everyone for his mishaps. The movie also stars Charlize Theron and was co-produced by Will.
Check out the trailer and the movie will hit theaters July, 2nd 2008.
Check out the trailer for this new Walt Disney film “College Road Trip”, which stars Martin Lawrence and Raven Symone. The film centers around Rachel Porter (Symone) and her over protective police officer Father (Lawrence) that takes her on a road trip to view potential colleges, all to avoid her from moving further away to attend Georgetown University. Aside from all the craziness that happens during the trip, Lawrence’s character eventually learns to let his daughter mature and experience college life as she wants to.
The film is due out in theaters on March 8th, 2008. Check out a production photo and cute animation courtesy of raven-symone.org after the cut…
Check out the trailer for the upcoming film “This Christmas” starring Chris Brown, Regina King, Idris Elba, Mehki Phiffer, Lauren London, Columbus Short, and Loretta Devine.
The film follows the story of the Whitfields family who have joined together for the first time in years for Christmas. As the holiday draws near, one by one things are revealed and tests the strength of their family ties. We all know how this story is going to end, but it looks like a great family movie with a terrific cast.
Since it’s the weekend, it’s a good time to talk about another upcoming movie.
Will Smith stars in another science fiction and slightly horror thriller. “I Am Legend” is based off the Richard Matheson’s novel of the same name, but the film will follow closely to the premise of “The Omega Man”, the second film adaptation of the novel. The story is basically based off a former military scientist (Smith) who after an apocalyptic event is said to be the “last man on earth”…but, he may not be alone.
It looks to be an exciting film , especially for those who have already read the novel or seen the film adaptations based off the book. I definitely look forward to this being a huge Smith fan anyway…
Maybe some of you remember when I posted the candids from the set of the film back in September? Well filming wrapped up for “American Gangster” around November and the trailer was released this week. Denzel Washington stars as Frank Lucas, the real-life heroin kingpin from Manhattan who smuggled the drug into the country in the coffins of American soldiers returning from the Vietnam War.
The film also includes an allstar cast of Russell Crowe, Cuba Gooding Jr, T.I, and Common. There has already been a bit of Oscar buzz surrounding this film, I look forward to seeing it. Seems like a great and intense crime film…
Because frankly, I can’t take no more.
I first heard about this movie via Fresh and shook my head. A couple of people emailed me about this film so, I guess I’ll just go ahead and spit out my opinion - no more ‘Beauty Shop’ remakes. Please, we already had ‘The Hair Show‘ and ‘Nora’s Hair Salon’. I think the world has fully grasp the concept of African American women in the beauty salon across the United States, so…what? Challenge yourselves Hollywood and come up with a better premise.
Here’s a quick movie lesson for you all - Did you know Vivica Fox’s ‘The Salon’ was suppose to be called BEAUTY SHOP? As a matter of fact, Hair Show and The Salon battled for the title but, Oscar nominated Queen Latifah got those rights.
Check out the trailer here if you can’t guess what this is about.
