RZA Speaks on ‘Iron Fist’ and More on ‘Last Call With Carson Daly’ (Video)
November 12, 2012
RZA is ‘on Cloud 11’ speaking on his new movie “The Man With the Iron Fists.” Directing and starring in it… incredible responsibilities and power to make a lifelong dream come true. Watching Kung Fu flicks since a pre-teen, RZA finally got a chance to make one happen. But to master the art, he had to study with a Master. As he tells Carson Daly on ‘Last Call’ RZA became the willing student of Master filmmaker Quentin Tarantino! Watch as RZA schools Carson on martial arts films and more in the video clip above.

Comedy: Movie 43 (Movie Trailer) [NSFW]
October 23, 2012
This raunchy comedy film – “Movie 43” – is going to be CRAZY… and hopefully just as hilarious! Just how raunchy can ‘raunchy’ get? Well, the movie trailer above was released as the ‘green’ version (e.g. okay for general viewing). The RED version is included after the jump… and is NOT SAFE FOR WORK.
The film will consist of several vignettes whose characters’ lives intertwine – including a couple of parents (played by Liev Schrieber and Naomi Watts) who give their home-schooled son the ‘real high school experience’… a couple (played by Anna Faris and Chris Pratt) thinking about introducing bathroom nastiness into their sex lives… and a basketball coach (played Terence Howard) who struggles to convince his all-black team that they can beat the all-white opposing team.
Oh… and Halle Berry is in the movie, too. Yeah…

Change In The Game (Film Trailer)
October 4, 2012
Shout out to Will Feagins, Jr., who has directed many a hot music video we’ve posted on here. Now, the brother brings us “Change in the Game” – a documentary that ‘discusses some of the changes that have affected how Hip-Hop is created and received as well as factors that influenced those changes such as, technology, commercial success and the relationship between the artists new and old.’ Looks like its going to be a dope film indeed. If you want to be among the first to see it, come to Atlanta’s A3C Festival 2012 (follow the link to our prior post on A3C below), where the film will make its debut! Another reason to love Atlanta… and Hip-Hop!

“42” [Movie Trailer] (Video)
September 24, 2012
https://twitter.com/Jayforce_/status/249408344459202561
Jackie Robinson was one of my heroes & one of the reasons I wore number “42” while playing football in high school & college. The crazy thing is… I was never into baseball that much, but my family was: My Uncle Charles and my Grandmother first taught me about Jackie Robinson. People important to me imparted the wisdom of why #42 was so significant to sports, this country, Black people, & to ALL people. And I am glad they did. You have to understand that Jackie Robinson was not only a great athlete in football, track, & variety of other sports, but he also excelled in the military. If you’ve been following my blog you may have seen me post pics of the 761st Black Panther Tank Division during World War II. Jackie Robinson was a part of that historic team of black U.S. servicemen in the 761st Black Panther Tank Battalion. (761st.com) It’s easy to see how Jackie Robinson’s significance extends well beyond just sports. Here’s the PR text that accompanied the YouTube video trailer for the movie (above):
Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures are teaming up with director Brian Helgeland for “42,” the powerful story of Jackie Robinson, the legendary baseball player who broke Major League Baseball’s color barrier when he joined the roster of the Brooklyn Dodgers. “42” will star Academy Award(R) nominee Harrison Ford (“Witness”) as the innovative Dodger’s general manager Branch Rickey, the MLB executive who first signed Robinson to the minors and then helped to bring him up to the show, and Chadwick Boseman (“The Express”) as Robinson, the heroic African American who was the first man to break the color line in the big leagues.
Now, if Hollywood could just find another artist besides Jay-Z to feature on the soundtrack & movie trailer for every movie about Black people. That’s the part of it all that gets so damn annoying to me. What’s wrong with using some black music from the time period this movie actually takes place in. Although Jackie Robinson played for the Brooklyn Dodgers, he was a man from Cairo Georgia just 200 miles south of Atlanta. A more appropriate song to use for the trailer would have been something from that time period or where he was from in the south. I vented about this on my twitter page over the weekend so I’ll just stop right here. I still look forward to seeing the film, but I wish Hollywood respect the black music from the times. It’s the reason why young kids today in 2012 don’t respect Jazz, Blues, & other forms of black music because they begin to think black music only started with rap music. Jackie Robinson’s legacy pre-dates hip hop & Jay-Z & his historical significance as an individual is even greater.

Common – ‘LUV’ (Movie Trailer)
September 12, 2012

Common’s character “Vincent” takes his young nephew (played by Michael Rainey, Jr.) to ‘work for a day.’ But what starts as a loving skip-school-day-with-Uncle Vincent turns gritty quickly.
