'The Butler' Trailer is Here to Serve You
If there was ever a more ambitious film than "The Butler," we have yet to discover it.
"Precious" director Lee Daniels efforts to recapitulate — through the real-life eyes of a lone, stolid White House butler — pretty much the entire twentieth century as it related to the American Civil Rights Movement. With a cast list that reads like a flat-out roll call for the Walk of Fame, Daniels presents the working life of Cecil Gaines (real name: Eugene Allen), a man who served eight consecutive U.S. presidents during his career and witnessed history being made first-hand.
The first trailer for "The Butler" has now been released, and boy oh boy are we impressed with all the acute caricaturing going down here ... and all the feels we feel. Get More »

'Boyz 'N the Hood' Anniversary Blu-ray Celebrates 20 Years on the Streets
Sony
"How to survive in South Central/A place where bustin' a cap is fundamental/No, you can't find the s**t in a handbook/Take a close look, at a rap crook." – Ice Cube
Long before Cuba Gooding Jr. was asking Tom Cruise to show him the money, or rapper Ice Cube was driving kids across country in an SUV, they were fightin' 2 survive in the hood.
"Boyz 'N the Hood" is the landmark 1991 film that put South Central on the map, sparked a nationwide discussion about gang violence, and turned a 23-year-old writer/director named John Singleton into a bonafide Hollywood player. This year marks the movie's 20th anniversary, and in honor of the Blu-ray release we're going to take a look back at one little movie that tried to increase the peace. Get More »

This time, Cuba Gooding Jr.'s comedic masterpiece "Snow Dogs," in which the former good actor travels to Alaska and begins training for a major dog-sled race, is transformed, via Hans Zimmer's score and some clever editing, into a crazy thriller. Get More »
