CrimsonTide4 · #1 02-15-2001, 02:32 PM

I am a big movie, book and music lover as evidenced by my posts on those topics.

I was browsing MY YAHOO today and found what movies will be coming out this summer and spring. Among the titles include:
a. JOSIE & THE PUSSYCATS (remember the cartoon)
b. RUSH HOUR 2
c. DR. DOOLITTLE 2
d. SPIDER MAN
e. JASON X

Here is the link to check out the many others that are coming soon: http://movies.yahoo.com/movies/feature/comingsoon.html

Black is a mystery, and part of my history. Black is bold and worth a hell of a lot more than gold.

I like movies, but mostly the ones that have me mad at first but then crying. I love sad and love stories like Love and Basketball. Not really a comedy person. I usually do not go to the movies I wait for them to come out on video. You can hear it better at home.
Do you also like plays? Well I like going to gospel plays eventhough they can become a little expensive but they be worth it. The last play I saw was Be Careful What You Pray For. It was very good. It is on tour at the moment so if it comes in your area this is a must see. Shirley Murdock, Steve Urkel's twin sister, a comedian that has been on comicview, and other people are cast in the play. I recommend this to everyone especially if you are one that love Gospel plays.

Hey everyone!
It's been a while since my last post so HOOOOOWDY-HOOOOOOO! to all sorority members and sisterfriends.

Everyone one already knows that the sequel to the Matrix is being taped in Australia. Trinity from part 1 will not be in the sequel, but Jada Pinkett Smith and Aaliyah (did I spell that right?) are in the movie. I am not sure what role they will play but I hope it is the bomb. For those that like the hbo series OZ, the character Adebesi will also be seen in Return of the Mummy. Not the same character, just the actor.:-D I know there is a Harry Potter movie due out in the fall. I did know about the Josie and the Pussycats movie b/c I was buying a a t-shirt (in the village) with the cartoon logo on it and one of the people working in the store told me that some chick shopping in the store said she was working on the set of the film. Can you say run-on sentence? :-D TTFN

COUNTDOWN to the BROTHERS' PREMIERE this Friday!!

CrimsonTide4 · #11 04-18-2001, 06:55 PM

I just read that SCOOBY DOO is headed for a theater near you starring Freddie Prinze, Jr and Sarah Michelle Gellar.

It's amazing how many of our childhood cartoons are now becoming Big Screen attractions. There was the Flintstones, Rocky and Bullwinkle, and Josie and the Pussycats.

NEW QUESTION: Which cartoons would you like to see hit the big screen, if any??

I would like to see the Smurfs, Woody Woodpecker, Tom & Jerry, and the Jetsons.
Some might be too difficult but where there is a will there is a way.

I saw the previews for one of John Singletons upcoming movies. It's another "hood" movie and I think it's called "Baby boy" starring Tyrese. I can't wait...

Has anyone heard about the movie "the Visit". It comes out tomorrow 4-20-01. It stars Hill Harper, Billy Dee Williams and some other folks I can't remember right now.

I am going to try and check it out this weekend.

Holla back if anyone else has seen any previews for it.

I have only seen information about it on the Black Planet's home page. It comes out tomorrow? Hmm. Rae Dawn Chong is also in the movie.

UPDATE:
Based on a play inspired by a true story, the family drama THE VISIT is a heart-warming story of one man`s triumphant journey from despair to love and ultimate redemption.

Alex Waters (Hill Harper) has been sentenced for 25 years for rape: a crime which he insists that he did not commit. Abandoned by his family and left to his fate, Alex fantasizes of escaping his cell and traveling on the trains that run past the prison walls.

Weekly sessions with prison psychiatrist Dr. Coles (Phylicia Rashad) give Alex the courage to face his personal demons. Alex`s wish to mend his fractured relationships with his family - his successful older brother, Tony (Obba Babatundé); his loving mother Lois (Marla Gibbs) and his domineering, unforgiving father, Henry (Billy Dee Williams) - begins when he asks Tony to help him bridge the gap with their parents.

His dream of a better life is strengthened with the reappearance of his childhood friend Felicia (Rae Dawn Chong). With love and compassion, Felicia inspires Alex to reconnect with the idea of spiritual and emotional freedom. Alex is ultimately able to chart a new course that changes forever the fate of those of love him and their memories of him.

**SOUNDS LIKE A WINNER

CT4,

Thanks for posting the info about the movie. Once you posted who was in it, I then remembered the other characters,

... But this does sound like it is going to be good. I am definitely going to try and check it out this weekend for sure!! Hell if I wasted money to go see Kingdom Come, I can damn sure check this one out.
