Tyler Perry's Good Deeds

Tagline:  Wesley Deeds is About to Discover the Person He Was Meant to Be.

Synopsis:  A successful, wealthy businessman, Wesley Deeds (Tyler Perry) has always done what’s expected of him, whether it’s assuming the helm of his father’s company, tolerating his brother’s misbehavior at the office or planning to marry his beautiful but restless fiancée, Natalie (Gabrielle Union). But Wesley is jolted out of his predictable routine when he meets Lindsey (Thandie Newton), a down-on-her-luck single mother who works on the cleaning crew in his office building. When he offers to help her get back on her feet, the chance encounter with someone so far outside his usual circle ignites something in Wesley. This one good deed may finally spark his courage to exchange the life that’s expected of him for the life he’s always really wanted.

Release Date: February 24, 2012

Just Me
I'm not sure about this movie.  There hasn't been too much written about it or any reviews.  It comes out next month and I haven't seen any previews on television or at the theaters.

Considering the last Tyler Perry movie I saw I witnessed a baby being dropped out of window, I will have to wait and see what others say about this movie first before going to see it.

Gods Behaving Badly

What if Greek Gods were alive and living in New York?  Isn't that an interesting concept?  Well that's the premise for the new movie adapted from the novel by Marie Phillips.  This movie is only in pre-production without a release date.  But it has already garnered a large amount of attention, and rightfully so. 

The film tells the story of the Greek Gods, alive and well and living in a brownstone in New York City, as they cross paths with a young couple, Kate and Neil. The intersection of the Gods and the mortals threatens not only the couple’s budding relationship, but the future of everything else. Kate will be played by Alicia Silverstone and Neil by Ebon Moss-Bachrach. The gods are: Aphrodite — Sharon Stone, Apollo — Oliver Platt, Artemis — Edie Falco, Demeter — Phylicia Rashad, Dionysus — Nelsan Ellis, Eros — Gideon Glick, Hades — John Turturro, Hermes — Henry Zebrowski, Persephone — Rosie Perez and Zeus — Christopher Walken.

For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf

I have already gone on record stating that this was  a good movie.  But I think I will retract my statement and say the movie was at best "alright".  But the performances the actresses gave in the film were nothing short of amazing.  There were so many unique characters I haven't seen Black women play in film. 

Crystal:  Let's start off with Crystal played by Kimberly Elise.  Crystal is a mother of two who is loyal to her long-time partner Beau.  Beau is an alcoholic, war veteran (Michael Ealy) that doesn't seem to like himself or his place in the world.  And in return takes his unhappiness and self loathing out on Crystal and their two kids.  But despite the abuse, Crystal is faithful to him.

Juanita:  Juanita, played by Loretta Devine, is an older lady who has been strung out on the same man that treats her bad year after year.  And she's keeps letting him back in her life time and time again.  We all know someone like this, don't we?

Yasmine:  Yasmine is played by Anika Noni Rose.  She is a a single woman in her 30's, a dance teacher, and a mentor to young girls in her community.  Yasmine's world changes drastically when she naively begins dating a man who seems just too good to be true.     

For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf

For Colored Girls...

Alright, alright, alright Tyler Perry has yet another project in the works.  I swear it's like a full-time job trying to keep up with this guy.  I just saw his movie, Why Did I Get Married Too.  And while I was thinking about writing the review for it, this news pops up...

Perry's next film will be For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf (extremely long but powerful title).  This movie is based off of a 1975 play by Ntozake Shange.  It begins shooting in a couple of months and is scheduled to be released next winter season.  The star-studded casting for this film was recently revealed:  Janet Jackson, Jurnee Smollett, Kerry Washington, Kimberly Elise, Macy Gray, Mariah Carey, Phylicia Rashad, and Whoopi Goldberg.
