Will Smith released two first-look photos at the upcoming The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reunion special from Westbrook Media, of the 30th anniversary of the iconic series. Smith was joined by series regulars Tatyana Ali, Karyn Parsons, Joseph Marcell, Daphne Maxwell Reid and Alfonso Ribeiro as well as recurring co-star DJ Jazzy Jeff for
a family reunion on set in the Banks’ home in this this one-time
special. Surprising the rest of the cast, Smith revealed that he sat
down yesterday with Janet Hubert, who originated the role of Aunt Viv, for the first time in 27 years for an emotional reunion and a candid conversation.
The reunion will launch exclusively on HBO Max around Thanksgiving 2020.
The upcoming special will be a funny and heartfelt night full of music,
dancing, and more special surprise guests, in honor of the series that
ran for six seasons and 148 episodes.
The iconic series starred Will Smith as a teenager from inner city
Philadelphia who's sent to California to live in with his wealthy
relatives in the hopes that they will "straighten him out and teach him
some good old-fashioned values," but Will soon takes his rightful place
as The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. HBO Max will be the exclusive home for the upcoming cast reunion special for the series which taped on September 10, 2020.
Sam dons her best lab coat blazer to deliver an in-depth look at the
politicization of the COVID-19 vaccine and the history of vaccine
science. According to Frontal, It’s not surprising that Trump is pushing
for a rushed COVID-19 vaccine in order to gain cheap political points.
But good things take time! So plan on taking shots, not getting them,
come November.
Is It Vaccine Season, Yet? As
summer ends and fall begins, nothing sounds better than a pumpkin spice
latte and a shot of COVID-19 vaccine! But if we can wait all year for
Starbucks to release the PSL, we can wait a little longer for a safe and
effective vaccine.
On July 3, 2020 I saw a pre-screening
ofthe new John Lewis documentary JOHN
LEWIS: GOOD TROUBLE (2020), produced by Magnolia
Pictures, I am saddened that my scheduled review of the film would be released one day
after his passing.Nonetheless, I am
honored to have had to opportunity to get up-close and personal with Lewis, via
this documentary.
JOHN
LEWIS: GOOD TROUBLE (2020) is
simply brilliant! From the moment the film begins and we see Lewis
walk into an almost empty auditorium, for what would be his private
viewing of images and video related to this documentary, we know we are in for
a special treat.
As he gently sits on the stage,
looking up towards the black & white images as they flash across the
screen, he admits he has never seen many of the images before.However, you quickly come to understand his
in-depth knowledge of the moments the images were captured more than 60 years
prior.He asks the theatre technician
to pause an image for a moment.Lewis
then states,“I’ve never seen this photo before. You see the man standing next to me?He’s got his hand up to his nose because he
knows we are getting ready to be gassed.”
JOHN LEWIS: GOOD TROUBLE fast forward and rewinds us back and forth
60 plus years throughout Congressman
John Robert Lewis’ life.We are afforded
the opportunity to walk with him through the halls of the US Congress, the
streets of Washington D.C., his private home, and then back to his childhood farm
where, as he says, “As a child, I wanted
to be a preacher SO bad, that I’d gather the chickens around and I’d preach to
the chickens!” Lewis laughs and goes
on…“Yes, my siblings wouldn’t sit long enough to listen to me. So I’d
preach to those chickens.” He laughs some more.
Through the age of 80 he preached
a new message to the world from his seat in the US Congress. And his message is simple.“Go out
and get into some good trouble!”Lewis would say.And with these words, Lewis is told us to not
be afraid to speak up and spark the kind of trouble that will cause positive
change in our society and world.
In JOHN LEWIS: GOOD TROUBLE (2020)
the film’s Director, Dawn Porter(Trapped (2016) -
Gideons Army (2013), along with Producers: Erika Alexander, Ben Arnon
and Laura
Michalchyshyn, do an excellent job of not only getting up-close and
personal with Congressman Lewis, who
represented the 5th District of Georgia, they are able to capture
the true sense of Lewis’ character.We witness
how Lewis sincerely cared, not only for the public, but for those who work for and
serve him in private. We watch the gentle
way in which he addressed his personal executive assistants, drivers and staff,
giving back to them equal, if not more, service than they render unto him.
JOHN LEWIS: GOOD TROUBLE (2020)
chronicles Lewis' 60-plus years of social activism and legislative action on issues
including: civil rights, voting rights, gun control, health-care reform and
immigration. The film co-stars, Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Henry Louis Gates Jr. Corey
Booker, ILhan Omar, Nancy Pelosi, Eric Holder, Michael Collins, Jamila
Thompson, Beto O’Rourke and Stacey
Abrams.Rareimages and video footage of Julian Bond, Lyndon B. Johnson, Malcolm X,
Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. are also contained within the
documentary as well.
US Congressman and
Representative, John Robert Lewis passed away on July 17, 2020, at age 80.He was a key figure and confidante of Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr. during the height of the Civil Rights Movement.And through this film, we learn the very
private details of exactly how he and King met after unknown activist; Lewis
wrote Dr. King a personal letter. King would
later invite Lewis for a private meeting eventually adopting Lewis into his
inner circle with Lewis ultimately becoming one of Dr. King’s most trusted
confidants and advocates of the non-violent philosophy and Civil Rights
Movement.
JOHN LEWIS: GOOD TROUBLE (2020)is a greathistorical film about US Congressman and Representative, John
Robert Lewis (February 21, 1940 – July 17, 2020).It is a documentary people of all races
should see along with their children.It
will be the best “GOOD TROUBLE” you’ll ever watch.
“Thank you Congressman
John Robert Lewis for your life of
service and for teaching us all how not only to serve our Nation, but how to serve
one another and GOD. May you forever Rest in Peace.AMEN.”–

With well-written 'sketch type comedy scenes' all surrounding Sedaris' kitchen talk-show character's crazy personality, this is one cooking show, audiences can jump into for wacky talk- food fun. Yep. That beautiful head of lettuce had to start somewhere... dirt!

In the aftermath of 'Captain America: Civil War,' Scott Lang grapples with the consequences of his choices as both a Super Hero and a father. Known as Scott Lang when he’s off duty, the Ant-Man's superhero career
got off to a shaky start.
He's an electrical engineer turned thief
turned superhero who doesn’t have a mythology, natural powers or a
dramatic original story that can be repeatedly retold for eternity. What
he does have is a cool suit that enables him to downsize and scale up
while having superhuman strength and allows him to communicate with
insects that do his bidding. Sometimes, he hitches a ride on the back of
a flying ant.

As he struggles to re-balance his home life with his responsibilities as Ant-Man, he's confronted by Hope van Dyne and Dr. Hank Pym with an urgent new mission. Scott must once again put on the suit and learn to fight alongside The Wasp as the team works together to uncover secrets from their past.
In this new sequel, “Ant-Man and the Wasp,” is an engaging goof that resists bludgeoning you with bigness and instead settles for good vibes and jokes. Director, Peyton Reed, (Ant-Man-2015, Bring It On, Yes Man), took special care in directing his very first major motion picture sequel.
"It was great and a different experience for me mostly because I had never directed a sequel before in my career. I had chances to direct sequels, but I hadn’t been interested. This one, for obvious reasons felt like, okay, there’s a lot more story to tell with these characters that I have a genuine affection and kind of protective feeling about these characters." said, Reed.
With Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Michael Douglas, and Michael Peña returning, plus a new set of characters, including Michelle Pfeiffer as the original Wasp, Janet van Dyne, Reed says he was in a unique Directorial position to do exactly what he always wanted to do with Ant-Man and the Wasp.
