A forthcoming James Brown biopic will reportedly star Chadwick Boseman as the soul legend.

  Marvel Studios announced several new films set to debut over the next couple of years, and one of them features its very first black superhero. 42 and Get On Up actor Chadwick Boseman has been tapped for the lead role. 

The day I thought that Chadwick Boseman was James Brown, he lit up the screen with his rosewood colored skin and small gap. He was not the real James Brown except that he was, for over two hours he was James Brown. “Get On Up” was the first time I’d seen Chadwick’s acting skills, but […]

In my family, we have a tradition of cooking and sitting with the grieving, especially when they have no words. Especially when the tears have been ripped out and the well to produce more has disappeared. We honor the lives of the folks who’ve been lost, beaten, and violently shredded from this world by sitting […]

According to WTOP, the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture has obtained props from the film Black Panther, including the superhero’s suit. The museum received the items following a February screening at the facility’s Earl W. & Amanda Stafford Center for African American Media Arts.

I’m wondering what words there are in existence that could be used to accurately describe Black Panther. Stunning, breathtaking, and majestic come close.

Nearing the end of each year, I like to compile a list of upcoming films that look intriguing to me or that I have been anticipating for months, or even years. This year, I tailored my list to be extensive and hella Black, just for y’all. Each of these feature a predominantly Black cast, Black […]

The King has returned. T’Challa and the Afrofuturist paradise and visual feast that is Wakanda is back again, and this time we got a full theatrical trailer, unlike the mini-trailer that dropped during the NBA Finals. In this one, we get a glimpse of Erik Killmonger, portrayed by Michael B. (some call him Bae) Jordan, […]

By Law Ware It should have worked. In theory, a film about a city on edge that erupts into violence because of police brutality should inspire conversations and think pieces about how little things have changed in the 50 years since the incident being represented. We could be discussing how the film shows the historical […]

LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers orchestrated the highest scoring first quarter in the history of the NBA Finals on Friday, but there’s a good chance a lot of fans missed a big chunk of it. Instead of watching the Cavs drop 49 points, a lot of us were stuck staring at our phones and […]
