    Have you heard about this doc – AMERICAN PROMISE ? It’s an emotional tale about race, class and the exclusive struggles that black boys in America must endure when attempting to achieve academically.  The film intimately chronicles the lives of  Idris Brewster and Seun Summers, a pair of middle-class African-American male students trying to navigate one of the nation’s most prestigious schools from kindergarten to graduation.  Storytellers (parents) Joe Brewster and Michele Stephenson, both first generation college graduates, have been traveling the country speaking about the labor of love that won the U.S. Documentary Special Jury Award in 2013 at the Sundance Film Festival. “We both have come to understand…

    Holiday Treat: Rise of the Guardians

    I do enjoy the concept of the TV show Once Upon A Time, which expands the personalities and back-story’s of fairytale and legendary characters. This season even goes so far as to have Snow White and Sir Lancelot be old friends and Mulan is quite familiar with Rumpelstiltskin.  What I don’t like about “Once” is simple – it’s poorly written.  The plots never really grab you or make very good use of these fabled, beloved heroes, heroines, villains and creatures. Going into Rise of the Guardians I expected to feel pretty much the same, as this story brings together Santa Claus/North (Alec Baldwin), The Tooth Fairy (Isla Fisher), The Sandman…
