Black-ish ABC Signature/Khalabo Ink Society/Cinema Gypsy Productions/Principato-Young Entertainment (2014–18) Artists First (2018–)/Disney–ABC Domestic Television #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif)  "Black-ish is about an upper-middle-class Black family. It includes marketing exec Andre “Dre” Johnson (Anthony Anderson), anesthesiologist and Andre's wife Rainbow (Tracee Ellis Ross), their eldest daughter Zoey (Yara Shahidi) their nerdy son Junior (Marcus Scribner), and their twins Jack (Miles Brown) and Diane (Marsai Martin).   Throughout the show, Dre is always concerned about raising his children "right" and loves to get others' opinions including his father (Laurence Fishburne), his mother (Jenifer Lewis), his boss Leslie Stevens (Peter Mackenzie), his co-workers Josh Oppenhol (Jeff Meacham) and Charlie Telphy (Deon Cole) and family members, neighbors and many more.  I must say Black-ish definitely tackles topics you don't really see on te...

American Fiction Orion Pictures, MRC Film, T-Street Productions, 3 Arts Entertainment Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Release date September 8, 2023 (TIFF) November 17, 2023 My Rating   8/10 #whatonwhatsgood Fan Club Rating   75% Running time 117 minutes Description AMERICAN FICTION is Cord Jefferson's hilarious directorial debut, which confronts our culture’s obsession with reducing people to outrageous stereotypes. Jeffrey Wright stars as Monk, a frustrated novelist who’s fed up with the establishment profiting from “Black” entertainment that relies on tired and offensive tropes. To prove his point, Monk uses a pen name to write an outlandish “Black” book of his own, a book that propels him to the heart of hypocrisy and the madness he claims to disdain. Written for the Screen and Directed by   Cord Jefferson Based upon the novel ‘Erasure’ by  Percival Everett Genres Comedy/Drama Starring Jeffrey Wright as Thelonious "Monk" Ellison Tracee Ellis Ross Erika Alexander Leslie...

TV Review: The Neighborhood

The Neighborhood Mud, Blood & Beer Productions/A Bird and a Bear Entertainment/Kapital Entertainment/Trill Television CBS Studios/CBS #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) "The Neighborhood on CBS is about a friendly Midwestern couple (Dave and Gemma Johnson) and their son Grover (Hank Greenspan) who move to a neighborhood in Los Angeles. Gemma (Beth Behrs) got a new job as a school principal in L.A. Dave Johnson (Max Greenfield) is just about the friendliest guy in the world.  I don't think anyone can dislike him.  Well one person can... They have a pretty opinionated next-door neighbor, the grouchy mechanic Calvin Butler (Cedric the Entertainer).  He has a wife named Tina (Tichina Arnold) and two sons Marty (Marcel Spears) and Malcolm (Sheaun McKinney).   Dave is desperately trying to fit in with the community.  Will the Johnsons be accepted by everyone?   The series is quite amusing.  Tina as Calvin's wife is fun as she keeps...

Encounters Netflix Release date September 27th, 2023 Description Explosive new revelations from military whistleblowers of alien encounters, UFOs, and clandestine Pentagon programs, as well as coverage from major news sources, have breathed a fresh urgency into a topic that, for decades, we’ve relegated to the realm of conspiracy. ENCOUNTERS, directed by Yon Motskin (Generation Hustle) and executive produced by Amblin Television, Emmy-winning Boardwalk Pictures and Vice Studios, is a landmark four-part series that travels the globe to explore four extraordinary true stories of encounters with otherworldly phenomena. Each cinematic and deeply-researched episode tells a single story: strange lights in the sky over small-town Texas; submersible space crafts haunting a coastal Welsh village; an alien encounter with schoolchildren in Zimbabwe; non-human intelligence reportedly interfering with a nuclear power plant in Japan.

Barbarian Regency Enterprises, Almost Never Films, Hammerstone Studios, Vertigo Entertainment, Boulderlight Pictures 20th Century Studios, New Regency Release date  09/09/2022 Georgina Campbell who plays "Tess" discusses Barbarian So I think what sets this movie apart from other horror movies is that it's just got a fantastic script.  It has a fantastic story at its center. It's really well written.  It has something to say which is always kind of exciting when you're watching genre films and it constantly leaves you second-guessing. You just don't know what's going to happen, which is really fun.   I'm so excited to be on a film and working with Justin Long. It was really exciting.  I remember telling my sister, and she was like "Oh, my God, Justin Long...that's so cool" Justin Long who plays "AJ" discusses Barbarian AJ is a real narcissist. He's very entitled and spoiled.  I never played a character who was flawed. Who ...
