A Gift for the Lent & Easter Season 2014: SON OF GOD
I know Jesus lived, and I know he came to make his spirit and God's love known upon the world. But I also believe, as powerful as the Gospels are, and they are the only knowledge we have of Christ's teachings, that something got lost.

A Quickie: ABOUT LAST NIGHT
It’s Valentine’s Day and once again I’m spending it alone. I’m not bitter, certainly used to it; but I’m also not in the mood to write a really in depth review on a movie about sex and relationships. Even though the relationships throughout About Last Night are rocky at best, but at least both couples are GETT’N SOME! So in short, I’ve never seen the original, About Last Night with Demi Moore and Rob Lowe, but I did find someone who took the time to write a transcript of that version –Drew’s Script-O-Rama (which I thought was funny).

Love the vehicles Legoed by the Master Builders, which come together faster than a Transformer...

The point is that we all have or have had something that we are passionate about, something that continues to keep our motors running. Essentially, aside from the bromantic love triangle between Zac Efron, Michael B. Jordan, and Miles Teller in That Awkward Moment, the movie is all about finding your passion, or a quest to find someone to be passionate about. For instance, at one point in the movie, Zac’s character, Jason,…

Throwing Produce is a Foodie Moment: Kevin Hart interview – RIDE ALONG
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor This was my first opportunity to come face to face with Philly’s own Kevin Hart! It took place at the red carpet premiere of Ride Along, his new buddy/action/cop comedy co-starring Ice Cube. Ride Along is directed by Tim Story (Barber Shop, Think Like A Man) it’s about a security guard, Ben (Kevin Hart) who’s in love with a really cute sistah (Tika Sumpter) and sister to police detective James Payton (Ice Cube). Payton thinks his sister could do much, much better than Ben, even though Ben just got his acceptance letter to join the police academy. This fact does give Payton the idea of…
