- DirectorPeter BergStarsChristian SlaterDaniel SternCameron DiazA prostitute is killed during a bachelor party and the attendees turn on each other as the wedding approaches.1/1-Everybody in this movie was crazy. And sick. By the end, I was just puzzled.
- DirectorEric LaneuvilleStarsDenzel WashingtonLynn WhitfieldAkosua BusiaHe risked it all to make the grade.1/11-I liked this movie about a high school principal, firm but mild mannered, brave but not militant, and a bit more sane than other archetypes in "urban" Hollywood movies. Denzel at his best.
- DirectorAngela BassettStarsYaya DaCostaArlen EscarpetaYolonda RossA chronicle of Whitney Houston's rise to fame and turbulent relationship with husband Bobby Brown.1/24-Alot of emphasis on Bobby, not enough Whitney to me.
- DirectorGina Prince-BythewoodStarsSanaa LathanWesley SnipesMichael ImperioliA couple in the midst of a tumultuous relationship fight to stay together.1/31-Saw this on TVOne on a Saturday night. I don't think the two are a good combination at all.
- DirectorClint EastwoodStarsJohn Lloyd YoungErich BergenMichael LomendaThe story of four young men from the wrong side of the tracks in New Jersey who came together to form the iconic 1960s rock group The Four Seasons.3/29- A rather bleak, dreary, boring re-telling of an otherwise exciting story.
- DirectorAndrew StevensStarsDrew WatersFarah WhiteTom MadenA contemporary retelling of the parable of the prodigal son set in the world of Texas high school basketball.4/18- I liked this movie, but it was more about the message than the movie. Good movie though.
- DirectorTim StoryStarsKevin HartGabrielle UnionWendi McLendon-CoveyAll the couples are back for a wedding in Las Vegas, but plans for a romantic weekend go awry when their various misadventures get them into some compromising situations that threaten to derail the big event.4/18-Fun to watch, the women were all beautiful.
- DirectorSteve McQueenStarsChiwetel EjioforMichael Kenneth WilliamsMichael FassbenderIn the antebellum United States, Solomon Northup, a free Black man from upstate New York, is abducted and sold into slavery.5/2-Awesome, better than I thought it would be.
- DirectorSam MillerStarsTaraji P. HensonIdris ElbaLeslie BibbAn unstable escaped convict terrorizes a woman who is alone with her two children.5/9-Excellent and suspense filled, but just too short for me. I love Taraji though.
- DirectorTodd PhillipsStarsBradley CooperZach GalifianakisEd HelmsWhen one of their own is kidnapped by an angry gangster, the Wolf Pack must track down Mr. Chow, who has escaped from prison and is on the run.5/9-I loved this, surprisingly funny and really caught my attention. And I am not even into this Hangover series.
- DirectorAntoine FuquaStarsDenzel WashingtonMarton CsokasChloë Grace MoretzA man who believes he has put his mysterious past behind him cannot stand idly by when he meets a young girl under the control of ultra-violent Russian gangsters.5/30-So so action flick, ok, but Denzel seems to be going through the motions.
- DirectorCharles MurrayStarsJason BondMarco DapperMartin EliasA grieving widow summons her dead husband back from the grave with disastrous results.6/6-Decent effort about a woman's "man candy" husband coming back from the dead and adding more misery to her than when he was alive.
- DirectorJessy TerreroStars50 CentVal KilmerAnnaLynne McCordAngel is released from prison and is reunited with his friend Rich who helps him smuggle weapons in a gun-running ring. But Detroit police and the FBI have declared war on arms smuggling.6/27-Aside from "Power", 50 is getting boring.
- DirectorDavid FincherStarsBen AffleckRosamund PikeNeil Patrick HarrisWith his wife's disappearance having become the focus of an intense media circus, a man sees the spotlight turned on him when it's suspected that he may not be innocent.6/28-Pretty engaging, but whats with Tyler Perry and all the cuss words?
- DirectorJean-Claude La MarreStarsRobert Ri'chardTyson BeckfordDeRay DavisLife for a struggling college student changes in an instant when he meets the owner of a male strip club who convinces him to give amateur night a whirl.7/25-Despite the main characters name, despite the hype, this is nothing like Magic Mike 1 or 2. This movie is more like Ice Cube's Players Club in reverse with a male character instead of a woman. This was pretty brief, flashy and simple. Nothing for you if you are not into man candy type stuff. This was made for ladies who like chocolate man candy and if you like that and you see this on a wide screen this is quite a treat. To others it will just be mediocre at best.
- DirectorIce CubeStarsLisaRaye McCoyDick Anthony WilliamsJudyann ElderA woman must contend with rival strippers and her boss in an attempt to make a legitimate living.7/26-For some reason, the day after BET showed Chocolate City, TV One (or was it Centric?) showed this. A connection, perhaps? I dunno.
- DirectorRod DanielStarsMichael J. FoxJames HamptonSusan UrsittiAn ordinary high school student discovers that his family has an unusual pedigree.8/2-Can't help it, Michael J Fox was one of the greatest "teen" actors of the 80s. Even though he wasn't really a teen.
- DirectorJohnny RemoStarsRandy WayneJohn SchneiderRosanna ArquetteAfter growing up with his single mom, skateboarder Caleb, 18, finds his busy, rich architect dad. He contacts him, when his mom's hospitalized with cancer. He joins a skateboard competition, when rent's up.8/8-Lots of great skateboard tricks and an inspirational message make you ignore the fake angry scowl of the main actor who is supposed to be an angry young skateboard dude and a predictable plot.
- DirectorMike BarkerStarsPierce BrosnanMaria BelloGerard ButlerA perfect family's dynamic is ruined by a kidnapper's brutally efficient plot.8/8-Fast paced thriller! Saw this On Demand and was pretty surprised at how good it was since it was a somewhat random pick. However, the end was pretty predictable but it was a nice ride.
- DirectorMichaël R. RoskamStarsTom HardyNoomi RapaceJames GandolfiniBob Saginowski finds himself at the center of a robbery gone awry and entwined in an investigation that digs deeply into the neighborhood's past where friends, families, and foes all work together to make a living--no matter the cost.8/8-OK urban flick which was amusing, not what I expected but pretty good.
- DirectorJustin ReardonStarsChris EvansMichelle MonaghanTopher GraceUnrequited love motivates a guy to write about his experiences.8/9-Short but cool spoof of the "Romcom" genre. Saw on Starz late night, makes great "midnite movie"!
- DirectorF. Gary GrayStarsO'Shea Jackson Jr.Corey HawkinsJason MitchellThe rap group NWA emerges from the mean streets of Compton in Los Angeles, California, in the mid-1980s and revolutionizes Hip Hop culture with their music and tales about life in the hood.8/14-The best hip hop flick I have seen since Krush Groove. Watching this on opening day was the event of the year for me!
- DirectorAlton GlassStarsTaran BraxtonAshanna BriJermaine CrawfordWhen four high school best friends' lives are dramatically changed on the night of a near fatal accident, eighteen years later they're reunited, only to discover that a set of past and present secrets will alter the course of their futures forever.8/16-Bland movie I saw on Centric on the Sunday afternoon. Didn't feel like watching NFL preseason.
- DirectorJeremy GarelickStarsKevin HartJosh GadKaley CuocoTwo weeks shy of his wedding, a socially awkward guy enters into a charade by hiring the owner of a company that provides best men for grooms in need.9/5-Didn't know what to expect but this was really funny!
- DirectorJason LapeyreStarsSam KindsethDylan EverettTiera SkovbyeAfter being cast in the hit teen sitcom Saved by the Bell (1989), six unknown young actors must deal with the Hollywood spotlight and the challenges of growing up under public scrutiny.9/6-As a Saved By the Bell fan, this was really interesting and captured that era perfectly, answered alot of questions and also showed alot of surprising behind the scenes stuff.
