« Previous EntriesPreviews of 2012 films that won’t get an Oscar
Sunday, February 26th, 2012First I want to address the great work that Nicholas Haskins has been doing since he joined us here at Black Entertainment USA.

The Oscars 2012 – My Picks (are the best ones)
Sunday, February 26th, 2012It’s Oscar Time!!!!!!!!! And with just over 4 hours to go until the show begins (and we’re all forced to suffer through Billy Crystal), I’m racing to get my final picks in!

The Help will leave you breathless!
Sunday, February 26th, 2012The Help dir.

You’re paralyzed, not [...]
The Rush to the Oscars… A Better Life is nearly indescribable
Friday, February 24th, 2012A Better Life dir. Chris Weitz Demián Bichir, José Julián, Dolores Heredia Five out of Five Stars A touching film about a hot political issue that doesn’t make a statement about it, A Better Life (check out the trailer) is a wonderful film about making dreams come true, becoming someone, and hitting rock bottom. It [...]
Polanski’s Carnage is a fantastic slap in the face

Reilly, Christoph Waltz Four and a half Stars out of Five Going in, the excellent trailer makes pretty clear the way the plot is going to unfold, and in even that, one can imagine precisely what the film will be trying to say.
