Movie Review: 'Kodachrome'
Kodachrome is a wonderful surprise. This story about a father and son finding a place of understanding debuted on Netflix on April 26, amidst the hype and hoopla of the theatrical release of Avengers Infinity War, and is a welcome bit of counter-programming. That said, even in this lovely father and son story centering on Jason Sudeikis and Ed Harris we can’t completely escape the Marvel Universe; Elizabeth "Scarlett Witch" Olson also co-stars.

Lately, my response to those that ask me if I'm going to see a movie in the theater is, "Nope, there aren't enough black people in it." For some reason, this never ceases to surprise people, even those that know me and understand that my blackness is the most prominent part of my identity.

Will and Grace Defended Roseanne
"Oh honey, you're over analyzing this. Sit down and have a martini." That's what I imagine Karen Walker would say when (if) she read this essay of mine. Nobody puts more thought into what sitcoms are trying to say than me, especially since I want to write a whole book about what Will and Grace is actually about. That's a whole different topic than what is going to be discussed here. This time around, I want to talk about an episode they did that I am pretty sure is a defense of the Trump supporting Roseanne revival.

Cult movies are a strange breed of cat. One can never know what will become a cult movie or why a movie becomes an underground hit. Super Troopers is a good example of this odd, unpredictable phenomenon. When the comedy group Broken Lizard broke out in 2001 with the comedy Super Troopers, no one could have predicted that the low budget comedy would become a home video juggernaut.

10 Movie Stars Who Started in Television
1. Robin Williams—'Mork and Mindy' Robin Williams's breakout roll was on the ABC show, Mork and Mindy. The show was a spin off from the show Happy Days where the character of Mork made his first public appearance. The writers created Mork to be a new adversary to Fonzie and was so popular that they decided to create a sitcom around Mork the alien, his experiences on earth, and what he learned about humans. After having his genius on television every week, it is no surprise that Williams quickly made the transition to the big screen. His first movie was in 1980 when he starred in a live action film about the cartoon character, Popeye. Though the movie was not a financial success, this role lead to future opportunities, many of which lead Robin to win countless awards.
