Black Panther Review

black-panther

I expected that going into Black Panther that I would love the movie. That cast was pure greatness and the comic book story is dope. What I didn't expect was a few characters to really steal the movie for me, and that, is a fantastic surprise. Black Panther is lit. Letitia Wright as Shuri stole the movie for me. Someone give her an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress right now because there won't be anyone the rest of the year that tops her. Quick-witted, charming, and tech-savvy, she ... continue reading...

Meet Manish Dayal of The Hundred-Foot Journey #100FootJourneyEvent

Manish Dayal plays the young culinary ingénue Hassan Kadam in The Hundred-Foot Journey, out in theaters today, August 8, 2014. Meet Manish Dayal I had the pleasure to interview Manish about his role as Hassam and working on the film. He was so fabulous in this role. I'm sure this is going to be his breakout role.

The Hundred-Foot Journey

I also love when a book is made into a movie and it's done well. We all know that it's incredibly difficult to translate a novel to screen and have ... continue reading...
