Let’s Review: WON’T BACK DOWN
Technically its genre is “drama” but it’s really not too dramatic. It’s very real, from Maggie Gyllenhaal’s quirky and slightly manic character, to Viola Davis’ seriousness. After The Help, I was convinced of Davis’ power, and here I believe it … Continue reading
Let’s Review: SPARKLE
It’s Dreamgirls with a hint of the Tina Turner story plus dead Whitney Houston. The costumes are fabulous, the songs are OK, the acting is subpar and the directing was just ridiculous. Am I glad I didn’t pay to see … Continue reading

Let’s Review: CONTRABAND
