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.

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.

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.

Movie to reconsider ::: Jason's Lyric

Not too many movies found way to the silver screen in the 90's that were influenced by the African American life, that contained a full bodied story line. One such movie made its way to the screen, and minus it flaws made for a good viewing of a film that is worth owning for multiple views. That movie goes by the name of Jasons Lyric. A poignant story of triumph of tragedy or in the case tragedies, one after the other. Admits all of its darkness love was flourishing and growing into something that is worth the long haul.

This film teach the weak hearted and the strong alike that there is a way around the tough obstacles if it is sort after. If the soul within is far more driven that the mind that doubts and in the pit of pain you can find beauty.

Not to many movies allow you this offering that is tailored from the cloth of the African American Community and the stories that it posses. Jason's Lyric served it up raw and beautiful. Doug McHenry offered up a feat of the willful, as well as a sexually menacing entree of goods from start to finish. Making 1994 a good year for the African American film maker. Which I think opened the door to full bodied films such as the one we have been seeing as of late.

I recomend this film to everyone and for everyone. It goes beyond the Black Experience, trancending race and bring together what all films should and that is a piece of humanity that we all share. That piece goes by the title of living and loving it.

The films stars Jada Pinkett-Smith, Allen Payne, Eddie Griffin, Anthony 'Treach' Criss, Lisa Nicole Carson, and Oscar Winner Forest Whitaker. I am sure you will be pleased to take a look at this film.

Here are so clips of the film to get you started ::

Hollywood raises serious money for Mr. Obama

As of late I have been seeing more and more support coming out of Hollywood for Barack Obama, and this does not suprise me. I am pleased to see this take place none the less.

As reported:

Barack Obama partied with Hollywood celebrities Tuesday
night and with the help of Oscar-winning singer and actress Barbra
Streisand raised an eye-popping $9 million for his presidential
campaign and the Democratic Party.Obama spent more than an hour before
dinner getting his picture taken with guests. He said later that people
had encouraged him to be tougher and had questioned why he was so calm
in a close race against Republican John McCain.

“I’m skinny but I’m tough,” he said. “I’m from Chicago and we don’t
play. Just keep steady. If we can cut through the nonsense and the
lipstick and the pigs and the silliness, then I’m absolutely convinced
that we are going to win,” Obama said, referring to some of the offbeat
charges raised against him. “The reason I’m calm … is I’ve got
confidence in the American people,” he said. “I really think they want
to see us do better.” Standing in the courtyard of the palatial estate,
he said his campaign was dedicated to people who need jobs and health
care and worry about their pensions and sending children to college.
“It’s about those who will never see the inside of a building like
this,” Obama said. He said the economic turmoil in recent days had been
sobering for America. “It’s reminded people that this is not a game.
This is not a reality show, no offense to any of you,” Obama said to
laughter. “This is not a sitcom.”

New Ventures and more money :::: Jay-Z merging the Roc Name?

There is a buzz as stated on Bossip. Jay-Z is said to be headed in the direction of new ventures, that will merge two continents and sounds.

Read up:

Jay-Z has reportedly launched a new label, adding to his long list of
businesses. This one is called StarRoc and was formed with producers
Stargate. According to overseas media, Stargate is a Norwegian duo
consisting of Tor Erik Hermansen and Mikkel S. Eriksen, both of which
have produced for several superstar artists, specifically crafting
Beyonce’s hit “Irreplaceable” and Ne-Yo’s “So Sick.” Reports indicate
that the producer duo have relocated their studio to Jay-Z’s
Manhattan-based Roc The Mic studios.

Money spotlight :::: The riches of a 69 year old parking lot attendant

I came across this story on an older gentleman who, most when passing him by would assume there is nothing to him and that they can not learn a thing from him. With that frame of mind you may be missing out on a good amount of advice on how to maximize your earnings. Make your wallet fat and your bank account huge. This is not only a lesson on the age old saying, never judge a book by its cover, but also a lesson in actually taking the time out to read it.

I would like to talk more about this, but I think that it speaks for it self so here is what he had to say when he was asked about how he amasses his wealth off of a 20K a year salary as a parking lot attendant.

From MSN.com

How did you get started investing?

Soon after I
started working for Mercantile Bank in Baltimore 44 years ago, one of
the bankers took me aside and told me I didn't have enough education to
go very far at the bank. He suggested I invest in stocks.

Where did you get the money?

I did it with good
old-fashioned nickels and dimes. My mother taught me how to budget,
which made me appreciate how a little money can grow. I saved what I
could from odd jobs, such as lawn cutting and window washing, that I
did in addition to my day job. I used that money to buy one share of IBM (IBM, news, msgs) stock back in 1981.

• Video: The ABCs of mutual funds

How did you learn how to invest?

I
really didn't know enough to be scared. In school I was considered a
slow learner -- dyslexic, it's called now. My true gift from God is my
ability to listen, and that's how I'm able to ask questions and use
tips from the brokers, financial planners and bank customers I see
every day.

Do you have a formula for picking stocks?

When
I first started out, I had to be conservative and take my time because
I couldn't afford to lose money. Now I look for companies with
stability that pay dividends. I read the stock pages but don't claim to
know everything about them. I have a broker, but many times I'll go
where my spirit leads me.

Any stocks you're excited about now?

I've been buying shares of ExxonMobil (XOM, news, msgs).

We've heard that you're helping others invest.

I
started an investment club at my church. And I've been coaching a
couple of young men, such as bar-and-grill cook Antawn Davenport and
Dana Mouse Smith, who toured with the late rapper Tupac Shakur. They
can help spread the message that people can do whatever they set their
minds to do.

This was published back in 2007. However I understand that the market it rough, and things may be tough in your wallet. However take into account this one principle that he left us with the little change adds up. So go out there and take that extra job one weekend a month, and use that money for something that can grow, not something that will shine.

Homage Blaxploitation with a bad taste in my mouth ::: Friday Foster

Make no mistake about it. Pam Grier is the reigning queen of 70's and no one tops her. She holds down the crown and many would like to have their hands on it. They may feign interest or pretend her taking off her top here and there is reason to doubt her acting. However that may be in their minds, they can not deny the beauty and the grace that she brought to her roles. With a tenacious hunger she worked hard to bring to us, an attractive, bombshell with sex appeal and a way with crappy lines.

Another addition to her collection of films is Friday Foster and it is a classic that has been overshadowed by her more popular film Foxy Brown. Friday Foster has a better supporting cast and it shows the slow evolution of the genres death into films with a little more plot and less jive.


IMDB synopsis :


Friday
Foster, an ex-model magazine photographer, goes to Los Angeles
International airport to photograph the arrival of Blake Tarr, the
richest black man in America. Three men attempt to assassinate Tarr.
Foster photographs the melee and is plunged into a web of conspiracy
involving the murder of her childhood friend, a US senator, and a
shadowy plan called "Black Widow".


Take a look for yourself and be your own judge I have to go put my bid in to get these on Blueray.

All Grown up ::: Rudy

All grown up:

Television
child star, Keshia Knight Pulliam, 29, has certainly out grown her role
as the cute adorable Rudy Huxtable of the family sitcom, The Cosby
Show. The talented actress has made a name for herself by turning her childhood success into solid adult roles. Pulliam has gone from working
with one heavy-hitter, the legendary Bill Cosby, to another-Tyler
Perry, a film/TV/theater legend in the making. A new generation is now
enjoying her talents each week on the top-rated TBS sitcom, Tyler
Perry’s House of Payne as Miranda. “It’s wonderful to work with someone
like Tyler Perry who is an innovator in everything he’s done,” said
Pulliam. “Being such a highly acclaimed show, it was a perfect fit.”
What’s next for Pulliam? Early next year she will star in the film
Tyler Perry’s Madea Goes to Jail. Pulliam will portray a troubled
prostitute named Candy. “I was so excited to play this role. It’s so
‘out the box’ from anything that anyone has seen of me,” she said. “I
know people will be shocked because they grew up with me as a child.”

Positive or a negative ::: Babera Walters " Us white folk will take care of you"

Sometimes people say things that can just roll right off your back and it is nothing. However at some point in time, I have realized that everything has a life and even words, and the statements they form. However this one has a life that is in the limbo of is it a positive or a negative statement. What does Babara Walters really by " Us white folks will take care of you" It is like a tongue slipped into the mouth, when the kiss was not welcomed in the first place.

At least we know Babara is not confused about her race.

Homage Blaxploitation with a bad taste in my mouth :::: Willie dynamite

By now it is apparent that I have honed in on a the blaxploitation era. I have made it my mission to open up a better understanding of what has taken place as well as shed light on that which we have deemed useless art. If you want to call it that, you may be right or you may be wrong. However my mission in this particular post is to talk about the aftermath of an era, by using our subject film as a spring board to make clear of the impact of a genre or films.

So the next subject up in my homage(used loosely) to Blaxploitation movie is Willie Dynamite. This movie is based on the redemption of a pimp. Nothing more nothing less, or as it seems. However I would like to fast forward into the past 20 years. This film has had an impact on the street corners of old factories, mills, and production plants. Behind the walls of the daylight, is the night most alluring creatures, the streetwalker, and not too far off is her pimp.

Although Willie Dynamite is not the cause of the worlds oldest profession. It was more of a how to, and how not to video into the pimp game. Something like a long play on the ins and outs of the Pimp Game. Although it is not factual or entirely accurate, what it is, and has been for well over 20 years now. Is a stepping stone, a 101 college course in pimpology.

Too many young flesh hustlers have attempted to emulate that which Willie Dynamite has portrayed forgetting his inevitable failure and fall over time. Fast success leads to slow decline, no matter the outcome.

I guess this one has left a true bade taste in my mouth. However, it is not for me to decide how you feel about it. What I will do is allow you to be the judge of that. So enjoy these clips that I have furnished for you.

You on Notice Bitch!

This guy strolls through the courthouse with so much charisma it is almost sicking. However I must admit when I first took a gander at his entourage I was delighted. It is time and the events after such a film, within the African American community, that has opened my eyes, to that which is not accpetable for the women of the world, no matter her tone of color.

Gotta Have Vision!!!! There is no other way to put it, if you are going to feed subliminal messages to a group of people. Now is there?

This scene right here speaks for itself.

As a side note I will have my eye on this guy for now on.

Homage to Blaxploitaton with a bad taste in my mouth ::: Bill Cosby went uptown on this one

There was a time when Bill Cosby was the king of comedy. With a no holds bard approach to getting the job done. Even in that realm he was able to shed light on an era with out it being exploiting in nature. He added to a genre something that was missing.

There are not enough words to describe the first time I took part in watching this film. Being that I grew up in the Cosby show era, I saw him as the father with rules and no edge. Uptown Saturday night changed that for me and showed me that he was capable of range in his character portrayals. So I dubbed this one an instant classic in the Cosby Library.

This fill also stars and is directed by Sidney Poitier, along with Harry Belefonte, Flip Wilson, Richard Pryor, and Calvin Lockhart. These actors were the breaking mold on the trend of Blaxploitation, although the era lasted a little longer. However with their accolades in acting and performance, it was considered a grade above by the audience. However its theme of Black Gangsters and challentens played heavy in this film, it will be forever remembered as the film cosby was more of a human being and less of the perfect father.

So without further delay. Here are some clips that you will be able to expand your Cosby knowledge on.

Tracks with message :::: Goodie Mob, Nas, Rakim, Mos Def and Kanye West

Underrating or forgetting something seems to be the norm in our society. We are more attracted to the polished shoe instead of the one that last longer or the new pair forgetting how far the old pair brought us in our journeys. We tend to seek out that which catches our eyes, therefore forgetting the prime component of quality or longevity.

With an abundance of copy cat raps, and bikinis alongside mediocre music. I think many have forgotten the messages. So allow me to remind you that their is some real out there and it will not leave those who seek understanding and vibe banging tracks at the same time.

Letter to Lauryn Hill :::: Waiting by my stereo

Dear Lauryn,


I sit around my stereo awaiting you to speak to me again. It has been so long since you and I had a bonding moment. I know that you have much on your plate at this time and that you are doing some restructuring of some sort. However I have a problem coming to terms with your absence. My stereo is dusty, my CD player has transformed into some Mp3 thing, and I have to conform to the new standard to music playback. I say this to make the point that when I first heard you on the radio in 94 I could not think of anything better.

When you applied your verse in ready or not in 1996 I almost new for sure you were the women I would love to marry. I smashed old records that made no sense, my Kid N play, was not running the house party any longer. Alongside Wyclef and Praz, I new you were destined to my heart. Just like many thing, that was a heart break waiting to happen. Perhaps you will return to my stereo, and we can make up again.

It this is possible check Yes or No!

Until you do, I will sit back and vibe on the classics with my Mp3

Homage to Blaxploitation with a bad taste in my mouth :::: Cleopatra 'Tamara Dobson' Jones

When you think of Kick ass Kung fu and Afros, two women come to mind,Pam Grier and Tamara Dobson. In the early 70's somewhere between 1973 and 1976 you got the thrills and the sass that was Cleopatra Jones. A slim, long legged, take no prisoners cop, that portrayed something that many attempted to emulate on the streets of NY all the way to the Bay Area.

Although we see the Blaxploitation era as something we will never plan on repeating in the arts. We must remember that it gave Black Hollywood the opportunity to work. These roles may have been lined with stereotype after stereotype, causing a delay in hollywood to give those of Afircan decent, roles that displayed range, but they displayed something that could not be replaced. A willingness to work in an art form no matter that cost. This is something that must be remembered and never forgotten.

So without further ado. I would like to present to you another fine example that came out of an era of pimp portrayals, Gangster swagger, gold teeth, and bad lines. I give you Cleopatra Jones and the clips that should not be forgotten.

As many feared Tyler Perry may be closer to global success than we could have every imagined. With an all star cast, the future looks bright for Tyler Perry films. Judging from this trailer I get the feeling this may not be the film to do it, but I do feel that if he achieves the same success as his past niche market films, he can grow his production company.

Homage to Blaxploitation with a bad taste in my mouth ::: Pam Grier

There are a list of movies that I had the pleasure of watching growing up. These movies were poor in quality but big in kicks and beauty. The top three that held my attention though were done by Pam Grier. One of the more attractive actresses of her day. IT could not be denied that she was a beauty to battle. As we watch her on the L Word and feel in love with her all over again in Jackie brown. It should not be forgotten that she helped bring some sort of dignity to Black exploitation movies. A quite dignity, with beauty and grace. Except for those sloppy kung fu kicks.

However we are looking a genre of films that began of a successful showing of Sweet Sweetback Badaaaasss song. So Keep in mind much like copy cat studio gangsters, there was an influx of copy cat films, that were filmed in very low quality with the most attractive stars of color they can find that would actually do these films.

I love Pam Grier and yes I support her career, however I will always have a bad taste in my mouth for the low level films that came out of such a genre.


With out further ado. I bring you the clips of Pam Grier:

I find my self feeling an vibe filled chill run down my back every time I think of this speech. As for Oprah, Kanye west, and Mary J Blige, my world will never be the same. My confidence has reached a new level. No one can take away form me what I am. They will have to accept that I will now offer to the world who I am and with Confidence to break down all obstacles.

Oprah Referred to the king speech. Allow me to share that speech with you.


Now this will get kind of long so take your time and be patient the world is about to begin a process to a better place and one of the architects to this new world is Martin Luther King.

I have a Dream

I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.

Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.

But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.

In a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the "unalienable Rights" of "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds."

But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. And so, we've come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.

We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.

It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. And those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. And there will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.

But there is something that I must say to my people, who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice: In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.

The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. And they have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom.

We cannot walk alone.

And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead.

We cannot turn back.

There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "When will you be satisfied?" We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the Negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their self-hood and robbed of their dignity by a sign stating: "For Whites Only." We cannot be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until "justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream."¹

The lost reels ::: She hate me

There are many films that grab you attention over time and many that leaves you high and dry with the feeling that you have wasted two hours of you time. Some films stay with your so long that you are unable to forget them, and some how end up replaying certain scenes over and over again in you mind. At some point in you forget that you are your own person, and begin to emulate every aspect or at least some small part of the film. Sometime this is done in hopes that you will be able to achieve the outcome, such as one in the film. However this is not always the case. However say that to say this. Some films have such a strong impact on the watcher that it no longer is a film and become a sacred work of some sort.

One such film is 'She Hate Me', a film by often militant, but critically acclaimed director Spike Lee. A director that never passes on the opportunity to share his view on the current status of our generation. Often tapping in the the past and the future as a backdrop to his point.

A few years ago Spike did 'She Hate Me', a film that earned much attention in terms of true movie goes, but thinned out to the masses. A film that deserves a second glance, if not a permanent replay in ones home.

So what I am going to do for you today is drop in you a missing scene and a few clips in hopes that you will find yourself deep in its essence.

Trailer:

She Hate Me Lesbian Scene

Deleted scene With Monica Ballucci

Common did it this time and he is guilty.

This video is where it is at. What Common has displayed here is beyond remarkable and Pharrell allowed us the opportunity to see him stretch his delivery. What more can I say? Nothing else needs to be said.

Nas sits down with Tavis Smiley

In case you guys missed the opportunity to sit down and feast your eyes on the Tavis Smiley interview with Nas. Then here is your chance to here what these two had to say to one another.

A legend can not give you anything less than legendary along side Andre 3 grand!

These two have offered up something of a delight. This song is filled with vibe and style. I would not have it any other way.

Ne-yo ft. John Legend and Cassie

Now I am digging this. I have awaited the day the day that would come that someone would give us the chance to watch a music video that payed homage to Boomerang. Which I think is one of Eddie Murphy's last good films.

This is a good modern take on the film. So I am truly digging it and would not mind seeing a remake of the movie. However with a stronger plot, and some awesome actors.

Movies to reconsider ::: Failing is not an option

I usually plop onto the computer one of my favorite films. However this time around I would like to share with you some films that share a common thread. The linking characteristics of the films we all share in the world no matter that activity, the circumstance, or goal. When we are placed in a position to achieve we must or face utter shame, isolation, and a host of other post event symptoms.

So to begin my trip towards achievement. I want all these perspectives to grab you and pull you into the universal world of circumstance not only giving these films more recognition or to slip back into popularity but for you to watch these films with purpose. With that intention of not taking no for an answer.

Here is a film with gumption that can not denied an entry into the Enterpolics Hall of Fame. Starring Demi Moore, Viggo Mortensen, and Morris Chesnut. The film is a break down of the male genders fear of the female potential into the armed forces, and mainly the entry into one of its highly elite teams, the navy seals.

I saw this film in the movies almost 11 years ago, and to this day I remain a huge fan of its message. A strong balance of guns versus will. When you are up against the odds and it seems best to quit and all those around you tell you that you can not make it. Your will must kick in in order for you to achieve the goals that you see fit for you life, to attain the end result for you life that fits directly into the future in which you always knew would be, if you just worked hard for it.

In the film Demi Moore's character is told time after time that she will not make it. That this is not built for her and that women can not be Navy Seals. Those closes to her, such as her significant other is not too sure and comes across as unsupportive and suggest that she should not follow through. Even with that in mind she continuedc on, also with the women in high power postions in congress unwilling to bend the presidence set by man, she still goes on.

If you are female this film with touch home becasue of the limits that were placed upon you by your sex. Those limits are based on many factors, however the ones that are illusions to name a few, are incappable, not strong enough, cant hang with the guys, mental fortitude is no applicable, and the list goes on.

Gi I jane will break the anti achievment cycle that you carry within, therefore breakin down those walls of oppression and denial. Giving anyone of has ever been restricted and forced in the opposite direction of opportunity teh stregnth to find and user the tools needed to make it to the top. Anyone who has been held back based on their differences will relate and want to aspire to achieve that which belongs to them. This film is a stepping block to that courage. Because that which is, is in their hearts.

GI Jane in 10 Minutes.

Although this clip is a ten minute summary, I hope that you go out to see the film to feel the full impact of such a journey.
