SPIKE LEE FIRED FROM JAMES BROWN BIOPIC

  




According to EBONY magazine and ROLLING OUT.COM,   Spike Lee has been fired as director of the upcoming JAMES BROWN movie.  

 Spike has always been my number one choice to directory JB,s story and while no explanation was given as of yet,  I hope that this film does well.

The news that he is being replaced by the guy that directed "THE HELP" (who is white by the way)  is a little unsettling.

  Not the fact that he is white, but he doesn,t have much of a track record ( aside from the aftermentioned movie).  But everyone has to start somewhere and he just might turn out to be a GREAT director!

It,s not about the color folks! I believe that Spike would have done justice to the JAMES BROWN story; a prime example would be the film MALCOLM X.

I don,t care if the director is BLACK, WHITE, BLUE, GRAY or POLKADOT as long as the script and the cast is right.


Another way of looking at it is by hiring a white director the film won,t be looked at as being a BLACK FILM PROJECT only, gaining more universal and hopefully international attention.

About the new director, regardless of color,  I just want to see a GREAT film about Mr. Brown done.


Steven Spielberg did an EXCELLENT job with "THE COLOR PURPLE", delivering a powerful, emotional film that has and will always stand the test of time. 

  I wish Spike was still on board but let,s give this new guy a chance, along with our support and wish him the best!

WHITNEY HOUSTON: TRAGIC LOSS OF A LEGEND







I am shocked and saddened, as are many others around the world, by the death of  beloved superstar Whitney Houston.


She was a true diva, despite her troubles in the past few years.  We have lost  Whitney, along with Etta James and Jimmy Castor, among others.



Although the real cause of death has not being released yet,  most likely drugs and alcohol have some place in it.  God Himself only knows what trials and tribulations she had to endure. 


Many of us wish for fame and fortune and there is nothing wrong in that.


The danger is that if one doesn,t have God first these things are likely to take the place of things we really treasure, the things money can,t buy.


Family, love, trust, caring, kindness, freedom; they can,t be bought at any price.


Please don,t misunderstand; I am not trying to judge Whitney. I have not walked in her footsteps or lived her life.


Although her voice was damaged by drugs and she couldn,t perform at the level she used to, she was still loved and adored by the masses, many who were rooting for her to make a comeback.





Remember Whitney Houston as a true superstar, who broke many records and for her great acting in the films, "WAITING TO EXHALE",  "THE BODYGUARD", and "THE PREACHER,S WIFE".
 She was human and subject to mistakes like any other human being.  I was overjoyed when it was announced there would be a "WAITING TO EXHALE PT.2"!

I knew that she still had her acting ability and she could go on to make some great films, like in the past.


Sadly now, that won,t be the case.

Whitney Houston is gone, but she won,t be forgotten.
