It’s an all black, Allstar cast and a psychological thriller! What more do I really need to add here?!? It’s been a long time coming and it’s great to see this group of talent taking on a different genre of film. I will definitely be seeing this film on Friday, and will give you the review afterwards. Here’s a brief synopsis of the film along with the trailer:

An earnest life-coach/author, Thomas Carter, is mysteriously abducted by a deranged client, Angel Sanchez, who delves into Thomas’ teachings and uses his spiritual messages of Karma – action and reaction (Vipaka), against him to terrorize him and his family for their past sins.

Seems like a good one, check it out on Friday folks!

“In Search of The Black Knight” – Indie Documentary by Tamarat Makonnen

Tonight I had the pleasure of attending the screening for this new Independent documentary film “In Search of The Black Knight” by up and coming Film Maker Tamarat Makonnen. This Film debuted as part of The Pann African Film Festival, held in Los Angeles at The Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza Rave Cinemas.  I truly enjoyed his comedic unbiased approach on black relationships.  He definitely covered much ground and many topics regarding black relationships, all while still leaving room for more to be discussed in a possible sequel.  Some of the topics discussed were education, prison, the “down low” issue, and much more.  Check out the trailer for this film below, and visit http://www.insearchoftheblackknightmovie.com for more information on how you can view the film in its entirety. Enjoy!

The Tupac Film is a Go – John Singleton to direct upcoming Tupac Biopic

Published February 15, 2014 by sheezacoldpiece

After 2 years of debate John Singleton is set to direct the New biopic film about Tupac, set to start production as early as June this year. No official title for the film has been released yet, nor has anyone been cast just yet to play the iconic Tupac Shakur. I do know with John Singleton directing this movie, I believe it will be a classic right along with his other films such as “Boyz in The Hood” “Poetic Justice” among others. It will take an amazing talent to represent/portray a character like the late great “Pac” so I hope they get this one right. Not sure who you have in mind, but I have a couple guys I think may be able to pull it off like:

Michael B. Jordan

Unknown-3

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One of the most in-demand actors right now is Michael B. Jordan, who followed up his strong turn as a high school superhero in “Chronicle” (2012) with a jaw-dropping performance as Oscar Grant in last year’s Sundance darling “Fruitvale Station.” (And Tupac hailed from Oakland, just like Oscar.) He can currently be seen in theaters opposite Zac Efron and Miles Teller in “That Awkward Moment” and is the rumored frontrunner for lead roles in the “Rocky” spin-off “Creed” and the upcoming “Fantastic Four” reboot.

Kendrick Lamar

Unknown-4

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now Kendrick is far fetched since he doesn’t have any acting experience to my knowledge, yet the fact he’s a rapper with outstanding lyrical content like his predecessor Tupac, who knows, he may be able to surprise us and pull it off. I mean he is a staple in the rap game right now.

Tristan “Mack” Wilds

Unknown-5

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tristan Paul Mack Wilds is an actor and Grammy-nominated recording artist. He is best known for his roles as Michael Lee on the HBO original drama series The Wire and as Dixon Wilson on the CW drama series 90210. He has the swag and edge to bring the Tupac character to life on screen. I hope he gets considered for the role, since we all know he was definitely a thug on the wire.

Well, those are a few of picks for the role, feel free to comment and let me know what you think, or who you think would be perfect for this role.
