..."Precious" made me laugh & cry...evoking feelings of anger, disgust & empathy. I won't say much more as not to spoil it, but it was definitely worth the $$.

Now I gotta read the book.

I just finished watching this & let me say it was funnier than I expected. I replayed the bedroom about 6 times - that was hilarious!

Sadly, I did not enjoy this movie as I thought I would. The best parts, imho, were the bathroom scene (that shit was hella funny!) & the dinner table/cutting of the meat scene.

What say you?

Like most, the book is better, but the movie is pretty good and a perfect one for Father's Day. It's not on DVD yet, but I'll get it when it does.

Simply Fabulous!!! A must have for any black film collectors.

The TV movie adaptation of Lorraine Hansberry's classic play 'A Raisin in the Sun,' starring Sean "Diddy" Combs, Phylicia Rashad, Audra McDonald and Sanaa Lathan, John Stamos, Sean Patrick Thomas, David Oyelowo, Bill Nunn and Ron Cephas Jones was worth the wait.

I hope Bad Boy Films keeps up the GOOD work!

Fat Albert's 'Forgotten' Christmas Special

I've seen quite a few blogs on favorite Christmas Music & Movies, but one of my personal favs wasn't mentioned:  Fat Albert's Christmas Special (circa 1977)!  Black people, how could y'all forget?  For shame.....*tsk, tsk*

This was "our" classic.  ...and in this day & age of healthcare, isn't far from the truth!

The Christmas season proves to quite an exciting time for Fat Albert and his gang when Marshall's mom turns up at the junkyard looking for a place to deliver her baby. Busy preparing for the Christmas pageant, the Cosby Kids take a break in order to help Marshall's folks, who cannot go to the hospital because they have no health insurance. As they open up their doors to this family in need, the kids hope that somehow their generosity and holiday spirit will rub off on Tyrone, the stingy junkyard owner who's been threatening to close their beloved clubhouse down.
