Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Representing Communities of Color

This week, we got an early sneak peak of Black Panther: Wakanda forever. This all-new Marvel film will undoubtedly flood theaters today, because there is so much to look forward to.

After the tragic passing of Chadwick Boseman, there was much speculation as to how the saga continue. To my pleasant surprise, the film adapted a new storyline that is creating a huge buzz among Marvel enthusiasts, and people of color. The Latinx community is overjoyed with the implementation of Namor (Tenoch Huerta), and the Mayan culture.

Watch the trailer here.

There were many emotions surrounding the death of both T”Challah and Boseman, (he has two Screen Actors Guild Awards, a Golden Globe Award, a Critics’ Choice Movie Award, and a Primetime Emmy Award, among other accolades).

Synopsis:

Queen Ramonda, Shuri, M’Baku, Okoye and the Dora Milaje fight to protect their nation from intervening world powers in the wake of King T’Challa’s death. As the Wakandans strive to embrace their next chapter, the heroes must band together with Nakia and Everett Ross to forge a new path for their beloved kingdom.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever takes viewers on an action packed adventure. It gives us a closer look at the Mayan indigenous culture in the Marvel World.

Are these two powerful forces friends or foe? There are so many unexpected twists and turns that you don’t want to miss!. Go see it in theaters today!

Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris Hits Theaters July 15th Only

Earlier this week, we got an early screening of Mrs. Harris Goes To Paris in Los Angeles, California. This delightful Focus Features film hits theaters for one day ONLY, Friday July 15th!

When I was a little girl, I would get lost in the pages of Vogue magazine. I would dream about one day owning a couture Valentino dress, and yet my dream has not been fulfilled. The new film, Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris is an enchanting story of a London housemaid who lives out this very dream of owning a sensational gown like this.

Watch the official trailer here.

Synopsis

n 1950s London, a widowed cleaning lady falls madly in love with a couture Dior dress, deciding she must have one of her own. After working to raise the funds to pursue her dream, she embarks on an adventure to Paris that will change not only her own outlook — but the very future of the House of Dior.

This inspiring film tells the story of a sweet and kind maid that lives in London. She lives a very ordinary life, but something would move her and change her forever.

She stumbles upon a Dior dress at one of her employer’s homes, and something inside of her says that she must own one herself. She saves every dime, and travels to Paris to find the dress of her dreams, not knowing what would be in store for her.

This new film showcases some historic couture dresses that took my breathe away. Oscar winning costume designer, Jenny Beavan worked with the Dior archival team in Paris to recreate famous 1950s designs for the film. (Cruella costume designer)

English actress, Lesley Manville stars as Ada Harris. She is compelling, endearing, and captivating. This film was smartly written, and the cast was brilliantly selected. I laughed, I cried, and I also fell in love with the magnificent fashion!

Go see it in theaters today!

Sonic the Hedgehog Hits Theaters at Supersonic speed Valentine’s Day

Last month, we headed we screened Sonic The Hedgehog and attended the press conference in Beverly Hills. We were thrilled to meet the sensational cast, and talk about the new film!

Thank you Paramount Pictures for inviting us to the Sonic The Hedgehog screening and press conference. All opinions are my own.

Synopsis

Based on the global blockbuster video game franchise from Sega, SONIC THE HEDGEHOG tells the story of the world’s speediest hedgehog as he embraces his new home on Earth. In this live-action adventure comedy, Sonic and his new best friend Tom (James Marsden) team up to defend the planet from the evil genius Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey) and his plans for world domination. The family-friendly film also stars Tika Sumpter and Ben Schwartz as the voice of Sonic.

This cast is like no other, with their large grins and eccentric voices, their eyes glazed over with excitement as they spoke about their characters. They created content for children, with the intention of sending life long lessons, and the importance of kindness and friendship.

My daughter Clarissa choked up when she met her favorite actor, Jim Carrey.

They spoke from the heart, and from a place of sincerity, as improv was frequently used by these insanely talented actors. The children in the crowd gravitated towards the actors, sparkles in their eyes, often asking questions as if their favorite characters were real, sitting in front of them.

Can’t help but to fall in love with this little blue guy after watching this film. It was action packed and took us on a wild supersonic adventure. When my 12 year old son and I are equally sharing belly laughs while watching a film, it’s a winner… 💙

Ben said, “In my performance, whenever he is talking or anything like that I try to do it that when you hear it you feel like the energy, of that young kid trying to do the things he’s dreamed to do.”

This adorable film hit our hearts at sonic speed. Happy Valentine’s Day!
