September 19, 2013 By: Dwight Brown

Thousand of film lovers travel to Toronto every year to witness the latest crop of Oscar®-caliber films at the Toronto International Film Festival. In between screening compelling dramas like 12 Years a Slave (2013 People’s Choice Winner), thrilling sci-fi films like Gravity and foreign language epics like The Liberator (Libertador), attendees find time to eat […]

Miami: Discover Luxury Hotels Off The Beaten Path

September 6, 2013 By: Dwight Brown

Vacationers, by the thousands, flock to South Beach crowding the streets, hotels and restaurants. But if you prefer a luxury Miami vacation, away from the throngs, you can find swank havens in Mid Miami Beach, Bal Harbour, Aventura and on Fisher Island. Swank, wellness-orientated hotels. Beverly Hills-caliber accommodations. Golf resorts with championship courses. Private island […]

Lee Daniel’s The Butler (****)

August 26, 2013 By: Dwight Brown

By Dwight Brown NNPA Film Critic It’s about time. Finally a major-release film about the African American struggle for equality, told from a black man’s perspective. Why has it taken Hollywood (aka the film industry) so long to do the right thing? Eugene Allen served eight presidents, Truman to Reagan, over 36 years in various […]

Fruitvale Station (***1/2)

August 26, 2013 By: Dwight Brown

By Dwight Brown NNPA Film Critic If you don’t live in the San Francisco Bay Area, you might only know the rudiments of this tragic event and subsequent upheaval: Black man, in handcuffs, shot in back by white police officer in Bay Area Rapid Transit train station. Protests. Riots. Unrest. This thoughtful, methodical and contemporary […]

Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain (**1/2)

August 26, 2013 By: Dwight Brown

By Dwight Brown NNPA Film Critic Kevin Hart is a diminutive comedian (5’2″) who carries a very big audience (60,000 fans during two sold out Madison Square Garden performances). Tiny in stature with a mouth the size of the Grand Canyon, he’s ready to conquer the world. And he does, somewhat, in 75 minutes of […]

Twenty Feet From Stardom (****)

August 26, 2013 By: Dwight Brown

By Dwight Brown NNPA Film Critic They can sing a joyful noise. In pitch-perfect harmony. Never missing a beat. Yet they rarely take center stage. Why? Background singers, are the unsung heroes of music. Without them, lead singers sound hollow. Now their voices are heard, in an enlightening documentary that is as illuminating as it […]

August 26, 2013 By: Dwight Brown

By Dwight Brown NNPA Film Critic Jackie Robinson’s life is lesson in courage. It’s a sobering but inspiring reminder of the barbaric cruelty of racism and those who rallied against it. This revealing film tracks his ascension from the Negro Leagues to Major League Baseball. And though you think you may know his story, you […]

The Call (***)

August 26, 2013 By: Dwight Brown

By Dwight Brown NNPA Film Critic “911. What’s your emergency?” Call center operators, they’re the unsung heroes. Everyday they answer the pleas of frantic people in distress. But even they weren’t prepared for this call… We don’t call 911 often, but when we do, we expect the person at the other end of the line […]

War Witch (***)

August 26, 2013 By: Dwight Brown

By Dwight Brown NNPA Film Critic “You will come out of my belly one day. I don’t know if God will give me strength to love you.” That’s the lament of an expectant mother, a child soldier, in this gripping, heart-wrenching drama that chronicles the plight of kidnapped children turned into killing machines. A quiet […]

LUV (***)

August 26, 2013 By: Dwight Brown

By Dwight Brown NNPA Film Critic Never has contributing to the delinquency of a minor been so wonderfully tragic and compelling. Sometimes Woody Watson (Michael Rainey Jr.), an 11 year-old, is a vulnerable kid, “Only one place I have is OK. Inside me where I can hide everything.” Other times he’s a little man, a […]
