Tribeca Film: SPARROWS DANCE
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor Sparrows Dance, written and directed by Noah Buschel, has the thoughtful sensibility of a foreign film – the structure, the coloring and handling of the film felt as if I should be reading subtitles. The protagonist (Marin Ireland) suffers from the panic disorder, agoraphobia. I call her the protagonist,because the character is never named. I’m sure there are other movieswith a nameless main character, and if you think of one, please leavea comment, but the only other film that I can think of, is my very favorite – Hitchcock’s Rebecca. So “She” hasn’t left her apartment in over a year, we see her on her…

Guest Contributor – DJReezey: THE GRANDMASTER “Yi dai zong shi”
By Rashuan “DJReezey” Williams The world knows Bruce Lee, but few know his trainer, Grandmaster Ip Man (Tony Leung). Ip Man faced many adversities, and even went through a long period of suffering; this film, The Grandmaster, not only allows you to know the legend, but gives you a true martial arts experience beyond what you are used to. The movie is both entertaining, and informative, giving viewers an education on Chinese history, culture, and tradition,while keeping the story of Ip Man modest and genuine. In the beginning of the film, we find Gong Yutain (Qingxiang Wang), the grandmaster of the North, has retired and appointed his apprentice Ma San…

The Happy Sad – LeRoy McClain Interview
So here’s yet another coincidence, I saw the film The Happy Sad during QFEST (Philly’s LGBT film festival) and went to the after party, where I talked to one of the stars of the movie LeRoy McClain. I remember thinking, I should be interviewing him, but it’s too loud in here and I’m sure he just wants to chill right now. I started to give him my card and ask him to contact me later for an interview, but I let the moment pass. Skip to a month later, my sister Lauren who’s a Media & Cultural Trend Analyst (see website), happens to socially meet Timothy Yates who runs public…

The Rittenhouse Hotel Interview – Lee Daniels & Cuba Gooding, Jr: LEE DANIELS’ THE BUTLER
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor Since April, anxiety has been my constant companion. I’ve been out of work and living on my savings, trying to figure out how to make what I love, writing this blog and the social media aspects of it, what I do. I’m no closer to figuring it all out, but sometimes you get a sign from the Universe that says you’re on the right track, keep going! That sign came in the form of an email from Allied-THA which asked me if I’d want to interview director Lee Daniels, actor Cuba Gooding, Jr and actress Yaya Alafia at the swanky Rittenhouse Hotel, to discuss Lee…
