The Soloist Trailer

Soon we will get to see Jamie Foxx and Robert Downey Jr., "make is do what it do baby". I have awaited this for some time. I was in the know when many(in which I will leave unnamed) were concerned as to why Jamie Foxx was looking a little thin and sick. We now know for sure that it had something to do with this role.

Take a look at the trailer and let me know what you tihnk.

The reason why we miss Jim Carey

There are 5 reason why we miss Jim Carey.

1. He made slapstick comedy cool again
2. Did not mind dressing up or down and becoming a women
3. Made really good fun of Vanilla ice and Snow
4. Was the nuttiest fire Marshall
   
5. Just did not give a funnck

Here are some videos to back up my thought about this.

As Vanilla Ice


As Vera



As Snow

Movie to reconsider ::: Journey to the end of the night

I have had many blockbuster nights with the lady that turned out to be a total waste of twenty six dollars. Last night was not one of them. After a long day at the gym getting in shape for my first 10K, I figured to end the night with good food and rest, and in a last minute decision I decided to take in a movie. In this case a few movies, but I will touch on the others later.

One of the movies that has my attention and will not let go, is 'Journey to the end of the night'. This film is provocative and raw. Although it brings characters to the screen that we see everyday, they are finally amplified and left under the microscope showing us the now or never reality that we all face at one point or another in our lives.


Director Eric Eason is showing us the gritty side of Brazil, through a pair of two half-gangster father and son team. Redemption is the vehicle and the passengers are in for more than just a ride. Which Mos Def's Character rips into this film as a Nigerian Dishwasher who hops on a chance of a life time to help his boss(Scott Glenn), finalize his retirement by doing a deed that is out of his element. He takes on the task with the understanding that he will never have to wash another dish again as long as he live. He just has to do one thing. That one thing is where the plot unfolds and you end up on the edge of your seat.

Brendan Fraser, giving what I believe a performance of a lifetime is more than enough reason to see this film. This movie is a must for film enthusiast and if you miss it, don't be upset. I told you so.


Here is what one reviewer had to say at IMDB:


The film is a second feature by a director who had a film at Tribeca a few years ago which i never saw. This is a gritty pot boiler made in Brazil with an eclectic mix of famous faces and non-professional actors. The film is extremely violent but not without a soul. I particularly applaud Brendan Fraser for a stellar turn as the Bad Guy. Here is a part that he might well be remember for in years to come. Also very good is Scott Glenn and Mos Def. My favorite aspect of the film was the film score which was very emotional. I give it a solid 7 for those that like crime films. Beware there is a lot of blood in this one.

What Beef?

The media is audacious with its ability to hype something beyond what it really is. I have seen this ability placed into the home of all the world. From the US to the UK, the media is a giant the does not sleep, and is far from gentle. In Mass media, special interest stories are a back drop the often over indulged wrongly chronicled bad news and gossip.

However it is nice that for once we have a story that we can move on to the next stage of life. Shawn 'Jay-Z' Carter and Noel Gallagher, end there bore of a feud. Which I think was more about opinions, turned into events that, for some reason people thought mattered, because of the caliber or its perpetrators.

Here is a random thought from Noel Gallagher:

"I’ve hung out with Jay-Z in Tokyo. I’ve seen his show. It’s not
my bag, but it’s all right. We have a mutual friend in Chris Martin. So
I am a guy who doesn’t like hip-hop — shock, horror. I don’t dislike
rappers or hip-hop or people who like it. I went to the Def Jam tour in
Manchester in the ’80s when rap was inspirational. Public Enemy were
awesome. But it’s all about status and bling now, and it doesn’t say
anything to me."

I can see it now ::: Diddy fighting over this Diamond

This piece of ice is weighing in at a whopping 478 karats. I do not know why anyone would want a piece of ice this big. But who am I to judge the idiot who will actually buy this. I Can see Diddy going hard to get his hands on this.

**Diddy I know you are not an idiot.

PSA ::: 50 Cent Cleans up well!

If you were born yesterday your would think this guy fell of a truck filled with good manners and ambitions.

I am under the impression behind the mean mug of most within the confines of the disenfranchised, is another mind awaiting the chance to break out and be something other than a copy cat, low jeans and gold teeth wearing Ass, with no plans for the future but to take from those just like them.


Watch him at the 'Righteous Kill' Premier in the UK.

We as rappers must decide what’s most impor-tantAnd i can’t help the
poor if i’m one of them So i got rich and gave back To me that’s the
win, win The next time you see the homie and his rims spin Just know my
mind is working just like them

Stage Play ::: African Umoja - The spirit of togetherness

I was wandering around visiting the blogs, I respect and admire and I came across something that I had to share. It is a story that manifested itself in the mind of a truly spirited person. I now have the opportunity to share in something great and at that same time I Share it forward.

Over at Ebony Intuition you will find other great post that will grab your attention. The post on the Umoja - Spirit of Togetherness, is evidence of the kind of work put into this blog.

Brief Synopsis:

In 1950 the apartheid government passed a law, The Group Areas Act. The
Act allowed the government to determine who would live where. Forced
removals and the relocation of Black people who occupied valuable land,
or land considered too close to White settlements were the order of the
day. This was to ensure that Blacks remained in “reserves” and only
came to the White areas when needed for work. Over the years, tens of
thousands of Black people were forcibly removed, not compensated and
dumped, often in the middle of nowhere. Lack of food, improper housing
and little sanitation resulted in incredible poverty, malnutrition and
suffering by Blacks living in the most prosperous country in Africa!  Read more here

American Idle :::: Tyra Banks Show Black Women and their children Bleaching their skin

This matter is serious. I have not posted this for entertainment and I hope that all who watch it take into account the psychological implications and respect these matters as they would their own.

For these women and people who think like them are sick and afraid of you they are and will do anything to change what they see in the mirror as well as the way they think the world sees them. This is done in hopes that they will be accepted by the world, the lighter world and that their live will take a turn for the better by taking part in these cosmetic rituals in the confines of their homes.


Without further delay Tyra Banks:
