Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates





Directed By: Jake Szymanski

Starring: Zac Efron, Adam DeVine, Anna Kendrick, Aubrey Plaza, and Stephen Root


Movies can sometimes be a much needed distraction.  During this tragic time in modern American history, it seems like a time when most of us could use a laugh.  My fellow black men are being murdered in cold blood.  Most recently Alton Sterling and Philando Castile have been victimized by a brutally unjust system with violations of their civil liberties abo...

In 2002, Nia Vardalos took the summer box office by storm with her romantic hit, My Big Fat Greek Wedding.  Despite having a budget of just $5 million, the film grossed over $368 million worldwide and was a surprise phenomenon.   Now, fourteen years later, Vardalos hopes to recreate the magic with My Big Fat Gre...

The Wedding Ringer





Directed By: Jeremy Garelick

Starring: Kevin Hart, Josh Gad, Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting, Olivia Thirlby, Jenifer Lewis, Whitney Cummings, Cloris Leachman, and Ken Howard

Think Like a Man Too





Directed By: Tim Story

Starring: Michael Ealy, Jerry Ferrara, Meagan Good, Regina Hall, Taraji P. Henson, Terrence J., Romany Malco, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Gary Owen, Gabrielle Union, La La Anthony, and Kevin Hart

The Big Wedding

Directed by: Justin Zackham

Starring:  Robert De Niro, Diane Keaton, Susan Sarandon, Amanda Seyfried, Topher Grace, Katherine Heigl, and Robin Williams

Color me disappointed.  When I go into a film with Robert De Niro, Susan Sarandon, Robin Williams and Diane Keaton, I have certain expectations.  Add in Topher Grace, and I automatically expect wit and character.  But I should have known that the Katherine Heigl romantic comedy curse would continue.  I cannot thi...
