Remember the Blues LIGHTENING
IN A BOTTLE opens on Oct.22
On February 7th, 2003, renowned artists across multiple
music genres and generations commandeered the stage
at New York City's Radio City Music Hall to pay tribute
to their common heritage and passion - the blues. Shared
with thousands of fans in attendance, legendary performers
from roots, rock, jazz, and rap joined forces for a
once-in-a-lifetime "Salute To The Blues" benefit concert
whose proceeds went to musical education. Directed by
Antoine Fuqua, the film features performances from B.B
King, Ruth Brown, Bonnie Raitt, Mos Def, Buddy Guy,
and Indie.Arie.
Bening discusses the process of aging in Hollywood, plastering
that on the silver screen for all of the world to see, and surviving
as a career woman who still makes time for a marriage and family.
Parker and Stone recently spoke about the arduous process of
getting this film made, and about the controversy the film has
already courted prior to its release.
Walken recently spoke about his many imitators, as well
as his thirty year relationship with moviemaking and creating
a compelling father-son conflict in the forthcoming dramedy.
Queen Latifah talks about what led her to do this film, her
fascination with cars, and working with NYPD Blue's Henry Simmons,
who plays her boyfriend in the film.
While on the set of his latest film, Cube shares
his thoughts on the movie, his success as an actor/producer/director,
and the current state of Black films overall.
Taxi is film that has plenty of action, laughs, and sex
appeal. While the film has the look of a cliché buddy movie,
Latifah and Fallon bring in their own flair of comedic skills
to make a difference and take you on a New York joyride.
Billy Crudup, who has been so underrated an actor, shows just
how good he is in playing the role of a female and male. It's
his performance that takes the film from being dull and stage-like
to exhilarating and entertaining.
Huckabees is a tremendously clever satire of modern culture.
It is a wacky, peculiar film that'll have you bored with pretentiousness
or extolling its genius.

This true to life film is a moving, fearful, emotional ride
that will have the audience's attention from the very beginning,
to the very tearful and dramatic ending.
John Waters is in a class by himself. His schlocky B-movies
are either funny as hell or god awful. This film unfortunately
falls into the latter category.
Walter Salles, the acclaimed Brazilian director of Central Station,
achieves greatness here. He tells a sublimely provocative story,
but never forgets that his characters are on an epic journey.
Silver City is a thinking man's film. It has an involved storyline
that requires attention from the viewer. Watch it for excellent
filmmaking and Sayles's political ideology.
Stuart Townsend and Charlize Theron are a real life couple,
but have no chemistry whatsoever in the film. The love story
is not convincingly portrayed and that theme is the arc of the
film.
