Entertainment news Click here for current entertainment news Reviews Latest Review Additions:    National Security (in Film) In National Security, Martin Lawrence is Earl Montgomery, a police academy eject with comedic violent tendencies and the stereotypical Black man’s e-Against-The Man angst. Although the whole production seems to be the same joke told a thousand different ways, the film is good for a couple of hee-haws at the very least.. Reviewed by Niija Kuykendall Video Blowout (in Video Vault) Coming out this week are films that some have been waiting to see on their own time rather than on television. Some of these films helped actors better in their craft and some helped rap music cement their place in the industry.   Kangaroo Jack (in Film) Kangaroo Jack follows two best friends, played by Jerry O’Connell and Anthony Anderson on an adventure through the Australian outback. Families will surely love the film, as there is something for everyone. Reviewed by Alberlynne “Abby” Harris Antwone Fisher (in Film) Denzel Washington offers us a Black man’s coming of age story with the grace and honesty that any of his peers would be hard pressed to match. For his directorial debut, Washington chose the heartwarming story of Navy Seaman Antwone Fisher (played by Derek Luke) who, as an adult, faces the demons that haunt him from his childhood.
