Fall Into Film Review-FAME & I Can Do Bad All By Myself

When I looked at the film line up for the fall season, I can only say one word, “Inspiration.” The two films that I will discuss will be, Tyler Perry’s, “I Can Do Bad All By Myself, and (Generation) Fame. These are two must see films for FALL 2009.

Who can forget FAME?  A 1980’s Film that later turned into a hit tv series where Debbie Allen played a determined dance teacher who educated gifted dance students who lived in New York’s inner city. With a mixture of Dance, Drama, Music and Art these students taught us what exceptional performing arts looked like. With their toe tapping, hips swaying, body rocking moves showed us why they were the best and why they deserved to make their dreams of FAME come true.

Now over 30 years later the 2009 rendition of FAME hits theaters nationwide September 25, 2009 and by looking at the trailer you can feel they really took the time to research this film; by taking a look at today’s talanted kids and tapping into the feelings and emotions they are enduring. They are calling this film, “Generation FAME.”

We’ve all heard it before! “I Can Do Bad All By Myself.” Well most of us have either thought this way or felt this way about someone something in our lives. But Tyler Perry takes it to another level this fall by putting it on film.

On September 11, 2009, I Can Do Bad All By Myself starting Taraji P. Henson, Mary J. Blige and Gladys Knight will come to theaters nationwide. This film tells of April (Taraji P. Henson) a nightclub singer who has to make the sudden decision to care for her sister’s children who has just been caught looting the house of Madea (Tyler Perry).

By taking on the responsiblity of sixteen-year old neice Jennifer and her two brother she is forced to also deal with her demons with drinking and the trails of her live-in married boyfriend.

Life takes a turn when a Mexican immigrant worker seeking work moves in her basement appartment takes a liking to her neice and nephews and shows her the true mean of life, love, and happiness.

Will April hold on to everything that has destroyed her life, or find new meaning in family relationships and a love that has been waiting to sweep her off her feet. This film is sure to be one that will make you laugh, cry and think about what you can do for others that will turn your life around.

 FALL INTO FILM THIS SEPTEMBER

RIP Micheal Jackson-The One True Wiz

With This Dedication We Say: Thank You Micheal Jackson For Being The One True “Wiz,” That has captivated us all.

The Wiz was a film that has captivated the imagination of many young and old for over 30 years now. With the cast of Diana Ross, Nipsey Russell, and Richard Pryor who would have thought a, “KING,” would humble himself to play the role of a outcasted scarecrow who would captivate us, motivate us and have us moving and grooving for years to come.

Micheal Jackson’s scarecrow was truly the star of this film, one that he will be remember for, not only for dancing and singing his way into our hearts and lives, but believing that we to could dream, and take the roads less traveled to find our true purpose.

This Blog is a dedication to his work in not only song and dance but is contribution to Film and Cinema Arts. Thank you for allowing a little five year old girl dream the impossible dream of one day remaking this film as a dedication to the work, life and art of you, Micheal Jackson. Thank you so much for your contribution to this earth. As we look today upon your memorial I thank God for sending an angel to bless us all. Thank you for leaving your legacy in the earth.

From the staff and writers at DT Productions we salute you Micheal Jackson, and may the Lord God, rest your soul and spirit in his great peace and love.
