GRACE JONES Tells Us How To Get A Man in Conan The Destroyer (#Throwback Video) via @lisafordblog
Hey, I’m doing a little freelance blogging today and writing about random things that are on my mind. I was watching the 2011 version of Conan The Barbarian, starring Jason Momoa on Netflix the other day, and got a little curious about the 1984 version, Conan The Destroyer, staring Arnold Schwarzenegger and the amazing, GRACE JONES. In the film, Grace played Zula, a sorcerer and ally of Conan. Check out one of my favorite clips of her below giving advice on how to get a man. And by the looks of it, Grace was serious, she wasn’t acting. That one single sentence delivered for comical effect contains more practical, effective…

KOBE BRYANT’S – “Dear Basketball” His Oscar-Winning Short Film (Video) via @lisafordblog
We still can’t believe that the Legend and father, Kobe Bryant, is no longer with us. Yesterday, we all witnessed a deep tragedy when Kobe and his daughter Gianna, died in a helicopter crash on their way to Gianna’s away basketball game. We grew up watching Kobe dominate the NBA while playing for the Los Angeles Lakers. And from what we could see on TV and on social media, Kobe and Gianna were basketball’s new dynamic duo with Kobe’s daughter on track to one day play in the WNBA. Kobe Bryant was a proud father and we all looked forward to watching the amazing 2nd act of his life play…

The Last Black Man in San Francisco – (Movie Review & Trailer) Have you seen it yet?
I highly recommend that you watch The Last Black Man in San Francisco on Netflix. This independent drama focuses on the effects of gentrification in the area and I must admit, watching this movie was surreal considering that San Francisco is my 2nd home and I got to see it through the lens of a struggling black man desperately trying to reclaim a Victorian home that his grandfather built. I often travel to the rich historic city to marvel in it’s beauty with it’s unique architecture and epic oceanfront/mountain front hiking trails. And after viewing the film, it mirrored a mix of understatedly beautiful aesthetics (including some extraordinary cinematography of the…

‘Mulan’ Trailer: Live-Action 2020 Version Is Kick Ass & Resembles the Animated Film
I have to admit that i have watched Mulan 1998, the animated film at least a hundred times, so I am truly looking forward to to this live action version dropping March 27, 2020. in.Askmen, “The similarities between the animated movie and the live-action version severe most ties (mid way through the trailer). From training to become one of the men in the Emperor’s army to fighting Xian Lang in hand to hand combat, Mulan changes the definition of bringing honour to a family and the empire. The action pieces look epic, to say the least. From the surface, Bori Khan looks like the main antagonist of the movie, but…

QUEEN & SLIM (Official Trailer 2) – Watch It Now!
Through the title characters, (who are actually unnamed until the last moments of the film) Lena Waithe manages to illuminate the complexities and vastness of the Black experience, while zeroing in on two very specific people. Jodie Turner-Smith is mesmerizing as a buttoned-up, high achieving defense attorney who’s led by an intense desire for justice. Daniel Kaluuya is flawless as Slim. He is more easy-going, and doesn’t expect too much from anyone. He relishes the simple things in life like faith and family and accepts the way things are without much thought given to how they should be. – Read more at the grio

“Crawl” (Trailer) & Key West Film Festival – details via @lisafordblog
Ok so a giant alligator coming to eat people during a hurricane may not scare you, but scenarios like this scare the hell out of me! I’ve lived through many hurricanes and can’t imagine having to worry about a giant man-eating alligator on top of everything else you go through to survive a wild storm. Crawl is a great film brought to you by the same Producer of Evil Dead and Don’t Breathe, Sam Raimi, as well as Craig Flores and Alexandre Aja. Crawl was screened at the Key West Film Festival a couple of days ago. The 8th annual film festival featured A-List Directors like Martin Scorsese and it…

BAD BOYS FOR LIFE (Watch New Trailer) Starring Will Smith & Martin Lawrence via @lisafordblog
Who remembers going to go see Bad Boys 1 when it first came out back in 1995? The Bad Boys movie franchise is still the most badass thing even today. What you got with the precious two films was great acting, great action, and great scripts. Who would’ve thought that two comedic actors like Will Smith and Martin Lawrence could be such great action stars. We’re so looking forward to the 3rd film Bad Boys For Life to be released to complete the trilogy. Sony Pictures has unveiled a brand new Bad Boys 3 trailer for the long-in-the-works sequel, which sees Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) back together…

KENDRICK LAMAR Releases the #Black PantherTheAlbum x “All The Stars” w SZA Music Video
Kendrick Lamar, Hip Hop’s diamond, just dropped the iconic “Black Panther” soundtrack and I’m writing this blog post as I listen to it for the first. I’m just going to dive right in… “X” featuring 2 Chainz, Schoolboy Q, and Saudi is sick. I’m trying to imagine how dope the movie is now that the soundtrack has proven that it is as wicked as it can be. Thanks to creative geniuses Kendrick Lamar, back are the days when ALL the tracks on an album are good, not just the 2 or 3 songs rotated on the radio. And the movie / soundtrack combination will go down in history and one…

OCEAN’S 8 starring RIHANNA (Trailer) via @Lisafordblog
I’m a huge fan of RIHANNA’s, but that’s not why I’m going to an actual movie theatre to see this film (movie theatres is something that I never do). I’m spending money to see OCEAN’S 8 because the collection of actresses is freaking crazy. I will never forget Sandra Bullock’s iconic role in the football film, “The Blind Side” which made me wat to support her in every role she plays. But let’s talk about Sarah Paulson, and her camillion-like abilities to transform into any one such as in her role in the “The People v. O.J. Simpson” and in her reoccuring roles in the “American Horror Story” television series.…
