Following up Tambay’s wonderful review of Ava DuVernay‘s, I Will Follow, I would like to share the fascinating and evocative experience I had with one the film’s main stars: Last week I had a chance to speak with Omari Hardwick who portrays the character of Troy in I Will Follow. You may remember Mr. Hardwick [...]
It’s officially the most commented on Shadow And Act post since the site was created almost 2 years ago (142 comments so far and counting; see the deluge HERE if you’re just joining us); Apparently, we weren’t the only folks taken by Anthony Mackie’s comments; in the below clip, Tavis Smiley asks Mackie to further [...]
Hello you lovely people at Shadow and Act! I’ve missed you all but now I’m back and ready to resume the fun! I’ve dropped in this evening hoping for those brilliant and inquisitive minds of yours to get involved in my first official interview for S&A. I have been graciously granted time with the cast [...]
This new look he’s sporting is for the film he’s shooting with Julie Delpy – a sequel to 2 Days In Paris, titled 2 Days In New York. I’ll be seeing The Motherf**ker With The Hat when it opens soon, so expect a review…
Last September, I met a young, up-and-coming British screenwriter by the name of Marvin Willson, while I was in London. Wilson is making some really big moves in Hollywood and has several really fantastic projects in development, including a sci-fi TV series titled Longevity (the producer of which and the network I can’t mention at [...]
Since we’re on a roll here with quotes from black actors today (see the Anthony Mackie post below this one), and given that it’s still February, here’s Morgan Freeman being very forthright with his thoughts on Black History Month with Mike Wallace. Apparently, this was recorded at least 2 years ago, but I’m actually only [...]
Preach! He’s saying exactly what I’ve been saying for awhile now (read my Put Up or Shut Up piece HERE, if you haven’t already). I’m glad to hear somebody of his ilk speak the words that he speaks in the video below:
Not really anything that special or of earth shattering importance, but in case you missed it Anthony Mackie was on The Today Show this morning to plug The Adjustment Bureau. But he does get a hug from Al Roker, reveals he’s opening a bar in Brooklyn and feels up on Ann Curry. Visit msnbc.com for [...]
Here’s a clip of Forest Whitaker addressing the NY Times article “Hollywood Whiteout” with Tavis Smiley.
Back thanks to popular demand… or maybe I should say black by popular demand… FINALLY – Here’s the transcript of the phone interview I did with Jeff Clanagan, founder and CEO of CodeBlack Entertainment – maybe the most prominent independent, black-owned and operated vertically-integrated film production and distribution company in the USA. It was about [...]
Also known as the lost interview… It was recently rediscovered. Bruce Lee’s 1971 interview with TV host Pierre Berton. Filmed in Hong Kong, just two years before Lee’s untimely death. And, as I stated in the heading, it is, surprisingly, the only TV interview the martial arts star ever recorded. It’s a really good interview; [...]
In case you didn’t already know, Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son, opens across the nation tomorrow. Yay! Martin Lawrence reprises his role as Big Momma, accompanied by Brandon T. Jackson this time around, in what I once suggested was maybe a passing-of-the-torch. Thanks to Feminista (Erica Kennedy) for sending me a link to THIS [...]
In the next few days, I’ll be interviewing Aunjanue Ellis and writer/director Russell Costanzo regarding upcoming new feature film, The Tested – a film we’ve given some ink to on this site, as a search will show. So, if you have any questions you’d like me to ask (whether about the film or not), feel [...]
And speaking of Oprah… It was announced yesterday that Michael Vick, who had reportedly agreed to appear on The Oprah Winfrey Show, in his first major interview since being released from prison, has now backed out! Vick was scheduled to be grilled by chat with Oprah for an episode that would have aired on the [...]
Noticeably absent in 2011: Spike Lee; though 2 or 3 films he produced or is producing, all by NYU alumni, will be out this year, so he won’t be completely absent; however, he doesn’t have any films of his own expected to bow in 2011… or even 2012. I guess what I’m saying is that [...]
Oprah Winfrey has landed the first major interview with Michael Vick, who was released from prison last year, after serving 21 months for dog-fighting. The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback will appear on The Oprah Winfrey Show on February 24. I think we all know how much Oprah loves dogs… especially hers. So, who knows what to [...]
I posted an item about Raymond Lambert and his new documentary Phunny Business a few weeks ago on S & A (HERE). It tells the story of All Jokes Aside comedy club in Chicago, which was founded and run by Lambert (a protege of Chris Gardner of The Pursuit of Happyness fame), and which practically [...]
Riiiigght! Thanks Cordell for the tip:
“The Smith family’s been really amazing to me and really supportive in everything I’m doing… Their family’s just really nice and really good people. He [Will Smith] is definitely looking at different scripts for me and trying to develop stuff,” Justin Bieber said in an interview set to air on radio program The Billy Bush Show [...]
This is one film I’ve been curious about since it was first announced. It’s supposed to be Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson’s coming out party. Mario Van Peebles directed the film, titled, Things Fall Apart – a project and performance that Mr Jackson himself has said will surprise his fans and doubters! Fiddy lost 54 pounds [...]
I have to admit that I haven’t watched a single installment of the Final Destination franchise. I’ve certainly had ample opportunity to do so, since there’ve been 4 of them between 2000 and 2009, and there’s a 5th one on the way, scheduled for release in August this year. As I type this, I’m actually [...]
I know some of you (myself included) have been wondering what’s being happening with Scott Sanders 2 years after his hit blaxploitation spoof Black Dynamite premiered and was acquired at the Sundance Film Festival. The film was eventually released later in 2009, but didn’t do as well as most of us thought it probably would, [...]
He talks to Jimmy Fallon on his show last night, in the video clip below…
By the way, I did an interview with Charlie Murphy last week and it turned out all right, considering that I didn’t have a lot of time to talk to him. Par for the course these days. I hear that back in the day you had ample time to do an interview. (Roger Ebert once said he [...]
