If You Love Will Ferrell, Then Watch This
I am not a true Will Ferrell fan. There are many of his films I haven’t bothered to see, because I am not a fan of stupid jokes, or Three Stooges-type pratfalls. Some of the scenes of his films are downright painful in their idiocy. That being said, his SNL "cowbell" skit was classic, and Elf is in our lineup every Christmas. But the first movie of Will Ferrell’s that I fell in love with, was the 2007 film "Blades of Glory."

The Lost Tape of Controversy
A horribly disturbing time period in our history is probably the owner of one of the most disgraceful and humiliating movies of our time. It’s an unfortunate, but relevant and vital part of American History being a huge part in the cinematic revolution. The movie in question is The Birth of a Nation. The Birth of a Nation is a white supremacy propaganda movie. It was the first big blockbuster; drawing in attention from everyone, but also bringing out the disgust and hatred of the north and the NAACP, which had been a new creation during this time. It paints the south as a victim and the Ku Klux Klan as heroes “avenging” the Civil War’s Reconstruction-Era. It portrays African Americans as degenerates who will be a danger to the White Race. The movie was an absolute success, despite the riots, changes to the movie, and censorship in many cities. Birth of a Nation was still popular. Being the first ever shown in the White House and bringing a significant rise to the KKK population and the groups that would follow using blatant lies and racism to promote the agenda of white superiority. It’s a horror to watch for the black community (which includes myself) and a part of history that has long perpetuated White Americans with a reason to be “proud” of their southern heritage and being able to use race to give credence to the mistreatment of Black Americans.

Sweet Mamba Jamba Is That A Shark?
After this past year and all of the time spent in quarantine, I've had to find some new and creative ways to keep myself occupied since going out wasn't an option (and in all honesty as an introvert I didn't mind all that much), but that didn't mean I could just sit around and watch paint dry (which I did actually do in the early days of quarantine as I helped my mom repaint the entire downstairs, but that's a different story for a different day). Several months into being locked up, I'd already exhausted my favorite movie and show options and even made a good dent into the unread books that had accumulated on my shelves and I craved something new.

More Money More Pleasure
People love money, it's one of the things we need to attain what we want in life. We work day in and day out in our different professions for the almighty dollar. Sometimes it is good to sit back and watch others with money, whether it's in our reality or on the television screen. Sometimes watching others can teach us a lot about spending money, saving money, investing money and giving money. There will always be those shows or movies that we watch though where we don't realize it revolves around money because it captivates you in other ways.

Movies Your Spouse Won't Hate
If you are anything like me, you have scoured the internet for a movie night flick that passes the spouse test. My husband and I have a once-a-month rule where I can pick a romance movie to watch together. Over seven years of being together and I have seen him get up to go to the bathroom more times than can be healthy to avoid watching a movie with me that he does not enjoy.

Shanita's Formula For Great Movies
Since ancient times, the notion of capturing dramatizations in a fictional or nonfictional way has been one of the most essential features to our existence. Whether to have an experience of escaping the realities of life, or to, in some way, feel supported by relating to the scenes, people cannot resist the fascinating effect television has on them. In fact, television is so impactful and imperative, majority of technology in today’s world are made with a screen. Whatever the motivation behind the appeal, there are thirteen basic “must haves” in which I use as a formula to be considered a great movie.

Movie Review: 'Ludi'
Recently, a clueless, out of touch politician, whose name I will not mention, said that if the American people were to be given $1400.00 stimulus checks, they might not go to work. Apparently this deeply delusional lifetime politician thinks we still live in the early 1950’s when you could get a jar of milk and a loaf of bread for 15 cents and feed your family for a week. Today, $1400.00 might give a person a little break in the rent and a dent in your monthly bills, and that’s for people who are already on the lower end of the economic ladder.
