Dr. Cornel West

New Movie: DIARY OF A DECADE produced by Funkjazz Kafe


PRODUCED, WRITTEN & DIRECTED BY JASON ORR

for FunkJazz Kafé/ Life Arts Films

This film is the story of a cultural legend as told by the innovators
of an important, and in some cases overlooked, era in Black culture.
Spanning the late 1980′s through to the early 2000′s, this story goes
deep into the fabric of soul music, it’s definitions, it’s pioneers,
it’s offspring, it’s movements and the challenges with the “mainstream”
industry.

THE BOONDOCKS is returning for a 3rd season

The ever so popular show The Boondocks  featured on Adult Swim will finally return to television screens in early 2010. The Boondocks has been missing from the Adult Swim TV lineup since March 2008 to the dismay of many die hard fans.

We can thank controversial cartoonist, Aaron McGruder, for being the original creator of this political and racially-charged animated series.  In December McGruder let the public know his popular series would return in the
new year through a Twitter update:  “Hey folks… Boondocks coming back May 2nd! (We swear!),” ... “Please follow @boondocksBTLG for the latest info and updates.”
 
Fun fact:  The Boondocks came into some controversy in its second season after two episodes heavily criticized BET executives Debra Lee and Reginald Hudlin. Ironically, Hudlin is the co-creator of The Boondocks.  Later that same year, Hudlin left BET.  Aaron McGruder also gained some notoriety for feuding with BET founder, Bob Johnson, over the programming of the network.
