June 10, 2020June 19, 2020 Sharronda Williams 0 Comments Alexis Chikaeze, Channing Godfrey Peoples, Miss Juneteenth, motw, Movie of the Week, nicole beharie

Channing Godfrey Peoples’ Miss Juneteenth is a beautiful exploration into the dreams we have for our children and the lengths we go to make sure they are realized. Nicole Beharie delivers a phenomenal performance as her character explores the regrets of her life choices while also showing how Black women continue to overcome no matter what life brings their way. Peoples delivers a promising debut that will leave many excited to see what is next in her bright career.

SELMA – Review by Sharronda Williams

June 3, 2020June 8, 2020 Sharronda Williams 0 Comments Ava DuVernay, black lives matter, black movies matter, dr martin luther king, George Floyd, Oyelowo, Selma

Ava DuVernay’s Selma, focusing on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s heroic fight for voting equality in Alabama, never shies away from showing the inherent dangers of being Black in the South. DuVernay embraces terrifying moments to honor the spirit of Dr. King and all those whose struggle, and sometimes death, became a catalyst for change. Selma is still relevant today because the fight for equality still rages on.

Disney’s animated film Aladdin turned into a live action film, is a dazzling magical ride filled with new surprises. Will Smith is entertaining and hilarious, truly making his own mark on this infamous role. Naomi Scott was born to play Jasmine and shines effortlessly in every musical number she’s in. Be sure to head over to my YouTube channel to check out my thoughts on the film.
