Mad Money (2008)
Mad Money is Mad Funny
Keaton, Queen Latifah and Holmes are three great actors who play three totally different characters in this film. Determined to beat the system, the three team up to take money from a Federal Reserve that will soon be shredded anyway.
The three are the perfect ingredients in this light hearted comedy. Keaton plays the head of the operation who goes from riches to rags and back again. Holmes plays the lovable free-spirit who is in it to win it. Queen Latifah's character is the most memorable. She plays the level headed single mother who wants the money to make a better life for her kids. All three have the perfect motive and the perfect plan.
10/10 I look forward to seeing it again and buying it on DVD.
Last Holiday (2006)
All hail the Queen, such an inspirational movie
Queen Latifah takes on one of the most inspiring roles of her career. Queen plays Georgia Byrd, a shy but beautiful woman. Georgia is diagnosed with a terminal illness that puts a time limit on her life, so she decides to make the most of it by taking and spending her life's savings and enjoying her last few days on earth while she can.
Queen Latifah is so convincing in this role, she makes you feel her pain and she makes you appreciate life for what it is. LL Cool J also does a great job playing Georgia's love interest who is just as shy as Georgia (which is ironic considering that they are 2 of the most outgoing rapper/actors).
Definitely a great and mature film that will make you laugh and make you cry and most importantly make you appreciate life.
The Pursuit of Happyness (2006)
A Timeless Film
Will Smith plays the role of Christopher Gardner, a man living from day to day not knowing where he and his child will live. This role really challenged Smith's ability to act beyond the guns, the explosions and the punchlines that are usually in Smith's movies. All that lies in front of him is a camera and his emotions. You can literally feel the pain that he goes through as you see it in his eyes. Will Smith isn't the only one who deserves credit, his amazingly talented young son Jaden plays Will's son Christopher. Jaden's character is the fuel that lights his father. His maturity goes way beyond his age and you can feel the love that he shares for his father.
This movie is absolutely inspiring and should make us appreciate the luxuries that we all have. The movie truly touched me and everyone that I have watched it with, this movie definitely needs to be in your movie collection.
The Game (2006)
A Spin-off that is full of comedy and love.
This show shows the lives (and drama) of three women who are in someway connected to football players.
Tia Mowry stars in this show which is a spin-off from Girlfriends. She plays Melanie Barnett, a med-school student who is the girlfriend of a rookie football player named Derwin. She is new to the sister circle but she loves and supports her boyfriend and his career.
Wendy Raquel Robinson plays the oldest member of the sister circle, Tasha Mack, and who is the mother of Malik. She loves her hot headed son and balances being his mother and his manager. Even though the 2 of them often disagree, Malik knows that his mother has his best interest at heart.
Brittany Daniels is Kelly Pitts. She plays the wife of one of the lead football players, Jason. She tolerates her cheap husband and takes care of her bi-racial daughter the best way she can. She keeps Tasha from overreacting and welcomes Melanie with open arms. Even though she may seem shallow, she has one of the biggest hearts and just wants to be the perfect wife.
Overall, The Game is a GREAT show with an INTERESTING concept. The show is full of laughter and love as you watch these three women balance their chaotic lives.
Girlfriends (2000)
A Show with comedy, drama, and most of all... love.
Girlfriends is an EXCELLENT show which expresses how some friends can truly help to change your life in a positive way. The main characters are Joan Clayton, a 30-something year old entrepreneur, Maya Wilkes, a sassy author and mother, Lynn Searcy, a free-spirit woman who shares many passions, and Toni Childs, a single mother who has changed her wicked ways for the new baby in her life.
All four of them have different personalities but that is also what makes their bond so strong. This show expresses the love that they all share. The four of them lift each other up when they are down and are always willing to lend a hand in each others lives to make it a little bit better. This show is definitely one that will be remembered, this show shows what the true meaning of friends is!
All of Us (2003)
Great Family Show
This show is funny and gives off a warm feeling to see a very familiar situation told in such a hilarious manner. It is clear that Duane Martin and LisaRaye have great chemistry together playing ex husband and wife and the only thing they have in common is their cute son Bobby. Season 3 finds Neesee and Robert living together after Neesee's house is burned down. With each passing week their relationship grows stronger and stronger as they rekindle the flame that once burned so bright. With each week you will also finding yourself hoping that the 2 will reconcile and be the happy family that they clearly used to be. If you're into family shows that display comedy yet truth you will enjoy watching Robert and Neesee in a situation that is definitely common now-a-days.
Dr. Dolittle 3 (2006)
Great Family Fun Movie
Dr. Dolittle is back... well sort of. This time around the story focuses on the baby of the family Maya Dolittle who is coming into her own as a teen but with one problem, she has this annoying gift to be able to communicate with animals like her father and sister. Eager to help her find herself, her mom (Kirsten Wilson returns) insists that she goes to a Ranch to find herself and she learns that her annoying gift may be the miracle that is needed to help an old farmer save his ranch. Great story with great family fun with some old and lovable characters (Maya, Mrs. Dolittle, Lucky and the monkey) and some new ones. (her camp friends) If you liked the first 2, you'll definitely like this one!
