Tia and Tamera: Episode 3: Are you Jealous?

So, I have two favorite reality shows this year.  Mary Mary and Tia and Tamera, positive black women on TV (thank you God).

In this episode, Tamera struggles to find balance between her life in Los Angeles and her new home in Napa with her new husband. Tia also lands a musical movie in Utah, which leaves Tamera wondering why she doesn’t get the same opportunities (side-note: Tamera loves to sing) Is Tamera jealous of Tia’s new musical movie?  In my opinion, I think more people look at Tia because of her fame from the "Game".

Tamera decided to make a life in Napa, she took her best friend to her new house.  She's also in the wine business with her husband.  He has a wine company in Napa with his family. Tia struggles in this episode to hit the right notes as she rehearsal the song for the musical.  But at the end of the show, it was beautiful and voice came back.

Stay tuned every Monday at 8/7c on the style network.  They are so fab!

Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta Ep. 2

Ratchetness should be the name of this episode. This show is facing major criticism about the cast members and story line (this is VH1 version of entertainment- they make money selling these types of shows: Mobs wives, BBW, and Love and Hip Hop).   There is currently an online petition to have the show removed from the air citing its "exploitation of the lived experiences of people who may not even know they're being exploited." On the petition there's over 2,200 signatures. 


(Note: This might be the last episode that I watch of this show but we will see). 



Independent rapper, Rasheeda appears on the first half of the show. She's also a mom and wife to her husband Kirk, they have been marry for twelve years, and he is also her manager. The two don’t always see eye to eye on business (I really hope that the show do not break them up).




We all think the MiMi should leave Stevie J but he must got that "golden/magic stick" or something. (He continues to make her look like a fool and she's allowing it)  But she turned the tables on him in episode 2, she drafted up a contract to become his business partner and she wants 20 percent of his earning from his rapper/mistress/jump-off Joseline.



Speaking of Joseline, so she is pregnant by Stevie J. (WTF)  When she told Stevie J., he had a blank expression of his face.  He didn't care at all about her well-being, what do that really say about him and their so-called relationship?



Erica and Lil’ Scrappy decide to move apart while Erica deals with her mommy issues. Scrappy decided to move out the apartment to clear his mind.

Fifty Shades of Grey (movie??)

Have you read the new book phenomenal, 50 shades of grey? If not, where have you been?

Of course, they are turning the trilogy into a movie (typical) but I will be there front row with popcorn.  They are trying to cast the film now, below are some actors that have Christian Grey potential.  What do you think? Who would you cast?

Have anyone read all three books?  I would love for someone to write a review for each book and I would post your review on my blog.

Until next time.

Abe Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, the President that signed the Emancipation Proclamation to freed the slaves, discovers vampires have a plan to take over the United States. After the lost of his mother when he was a young boy, he makes it his mission to destroy them and seek revenge.  This was a very different concept which I loved, some times movies can be very predictable but this movie had a strange twist to it.  America's favorite president, a vampire hunter?????

After years of patiently waiting, Abe Lincoln (Benjamin Walker) seeks revenge of the death of his mother and encounters Henry Sturgess (Dominic Cooper) – he trains Abe in the art of vampire hunting and  how to do tricks with the axe (which was pretty cool to watch). Henry told Abe to avoid making friends and/or starting a family, Lincoln befriends a local shop-keep, Joshua Speed (Jimmi Simpson), courts Mary Todd (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and later married , and reconnects with childhood friend/free African-American, William Johnson (Anthony Mackie).

In the movie, the Civil War is a struggle between the living and the undead with our 16th president as a slayer of the bloodsuckers.  The army of the South was actually VAMPIRES! (I was laughing at the movies when I saw them fighting against the troops in the North).

The movie was directed by Tim Burton (Visionary film maker) and Timur Bekmambetov.
Actors: Benjamin Walker, Rufus Sewell, Anthony Mackie and Dominic Cooper.  Did you know Anthony Mackie (hurt locker, She Hates me, Adjustment Burearu, etc)was in this movie?


(Personal side note: I love how they make the vampires look like vampires and pretty vampires.)
If you love action, vision effects, and vampires then go see this movie.

Grade: A- ( many critics do not agree with me but I will tell them to have an imagination)
Running time: 1 hour 45 minutes

Speak on it:
Did you see this movie? Did you like it? love it? or hate it? or have mixed reviews?

Snowwhite and the Huntsman

Snow White and the Huntman, puts a dark and eerie twist on the classic fairy tale, follows Queen Ravenna (Theron), whose fairest-in-the-land status is threatened by her self-daughter, Snow White (Stewart).

  The movie take on the classic fairy tale which features an expanded role for the Huntsman (my favorite character in the movie) played by Hemsworth. In the fairy tale, he is ordered to kill her in the forest (the forest is so scary), but instead lets her go and he became her ally. In the new take, the Huntsman acts more as a mentor, teaching Snow White to fight, survive, and kill if neccessary. Overall, this movie was well directed and acted.  The special effects are amazing! I give it a A-
