A superior blog that looks down its self-righteous nose at American pop culture and hypocrisy.

Hands behind head, feet up, just livin' THE life!
Iman Shumpert’s spirits these days must be flying as high as his high-top fade. The NBA star and Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard recently announced that he was awaiting the arrival of his first child with actress and R&B singer Teyana Taylor.

Actress Taryn Manning becomes Michelle Knight in Cleveland Abduction.
Taryn Manning’s mom may have been horrified for her daughter’s sanity for playing the role of Michelle Knight. But from what we can tell, it takes great depth of skill and attention to the smallest detail to find the heart of seemingly unlovable victims covered in so much grit and soot. Taryn Manning is pure genius at work when delivering lines with that raspy voice, with delivering every expression of her petite body, down to the twitch of her bare foot.
Don't let the grit fool you. Even grit sometimes sparkles in the sun!
From the moment she takes center stage, although she’s below average in height, the actress known as Taryn Manning, like a flash of light, steals every wandering eye.
Her look is not typical of most Hollywood stars. Some might say “below average.” Her forehead, for size, rivals fellow actress Christina Ricci’s and may eclipse rock star Rihanna’s. Her lips are a little crooked and on the thin side. Her skin is often white-sheet pale. Her face may even show signs of early wrinkling, instead of the usual sparkle and glow of other stars aided by expensive BB crèmes. And yet there is something about the way her eyes hold space in the shade of her forehead, combined with the quiet rasp of her voice, that makes her mesmerizing.
Something special.
Watching at midnight won’t make Wuthering High School, the latest adaptation of Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights, as dark as desired. Crashing waves beneath the bright blue sky of Malibu? The Rich & Bratty in rags more pricey than cars? Barbies & Kens moping around homes built like resorts with cool stone pools, how could it? But that’s the point, right? Choosing the cold and dreary Upper East Coast for a setting would have been apropos, but redundant.
If you’re a Christian, you’re pretty much happy when any one is courageous enough to mention Jesus’s name anywhere these days, but especially in a movie. Radio Personality Russ Parr is more than just a voice on the radio. As screenwriter and director of “Hear No Evil,” he’s proven he’s more than able to talk about hot and controversial topics, he’s willing to create some, too.
Yaya DaCosta is effervescent as Whitney Houston!
No one will ever know the real truth of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown. The movie Whitney, the version offered by Oscar-nominated actress Angela Bassett in her directorial debut, seems to earnestly dig for that truth. Since Wendy Williams’s Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B biopic, R&B fans did not have much hope for Whitney the movie or Bassett’s success.
Alton Tinker and Darrin Henson promoting GCUFF
Alton Tinker, President of the Greater Cleveland Urban Film Festival (GCUFF) Foundation, and actor Darrin Henson of Four of Hearts, a featured film this year, spoke to Cleveland’s local media about the Film Festival today.
Will he put a ring on it?
Some Christians need a second or third baptism, a second or third dunkin’ in the water, because some of them need to be born again—again and again. Nothing was more disappointing to hear than that Tyler Perry announced at his 45th birthday party that he was going to be a father. A father! A father! Not an engaged man! Or a husband! A father!
