The Race Card: Black or White Movie
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor A Quick Look at Kevin Costner’s Black or White It was 4 years ago January that I remember writing a post saying that one of my New Year’s resolutions would be to see more movies with a predominately black cast, as these movies were rarely a part of the main stream press screenings. I don’t believe I actually stuck to my intention that year, but thankfully things started to change and we began to see studio driven movies hit the theaters like (click for T&T posts): Redtails, 42, The Butler, Best Man Holiday, Black Nativity, Think Like A Man 1 & Think Like A Man…

Have You Heard: BEYOND THE LIGHTS
by Contributor Terri Heard I was listening to The Movie Man’s 6 Second Review for Beyond the Lights this morning on the Elvis Duran Show and I just knew he was going to give a curt dismissal ending in “I’m Out” – But he was IN!

Candi’s Corner: Interview w/ Producers & Director of OCULUS
On Mirrors, Movie Making, and Jem: Interview With The Producers and Director/Writer of “Oculus” By Tinsel & Tine Blog Contributor Candace Cordelia Smith (Candi’s Corner) Call me weird, odd, or sick, but I love horror movies. The less gory, the better. I don’t know when this love first began, but you can count on me to watch “The Gate” if it’s ever on television and Lord knows that I’m waiting with bated breath for the next installment of American Horror Story. There’s just something invigorating, frightening, and psychologically remarkable about wanting to avoid all windows every night for a month after watching “The Strangers”. “Oculus”, out in theaters now, is…
