Mea Culpa by Tyler Perry is a Beautiful Disaster

Image
Mea Culpa Mea Culpa, produced, written, and directed by Tyler Perry, is making quite a splash on social media. Released on Netflix the film stars Kelly Rowland and Mea Harper, Trevante Rhodes as Zyair Malloy, RonReaco Lee as Jimmy, and Nick Sagar as Ray. The story follows Mea, a defense attorney, who takes on a high-profile murder case in the defense of Zyair. A couple of things to get out of the way. Nick Sagar looked so familiar to me, then I realized he was in the Princess Switch. However, his being the love interest in the Princess Switch movies with Vanessa Hudgens would have been the farthest thought from my mind because the characters were so different. But yet, he is one and the same; good job on him. If you haven’t watched the Princess Switch movies on Netflix, you should but only if you enjoy cute, corny Lifetime Christmas movies. There’s three of them and they are sickeningly corny and cute. Secondly, this whole review is going to be spoiler-filled so if you think you are go...

Mary J. Blige Joins Tyler Perry’s ‘I Can Do Bad All By Myself’

Tyler Perry is at it again and I am curious to see what he comes up with this time. The last movie of his that I watched was The Family that Preys, and I loved it. I have not had a chance to see his latest, Madea Goes to Jail. It did hold the box office number one spot for two weeks though. Mary J. Blige Joins Tyler Perry’s ‘I Can Do Bad All By Myself’ MTV.com - ‎3 hours ago‎ Tyler Perry wastes no time counting his box office earnings, or contemplating deals. According to The Hollywood Reporter, he’s already begun shooting “I Can ...

The Family that Preys

So ... don't even ask where I've been. I've been in da cut. Anyway, I caught this preview in the theaters then a friend of mine sent me the e-mail about it. So what do you all think? Is this another Why Did I Get Married hit? I am not a fan of all of Tyler Perry movies, but there are a couple of them that I absolutely love. From the looks of this trailer, The Family that Preys seems like it is going to be a very good watch. I am hoping so because I am rooting for TP . He is providing a lot of people with an avenue to exercise their talent that may not have had as much opportunity to do so if he were not in the game. Therefore, I am hoping for the best and I plan on going to watch this at the movies, not boot leg people :). Check out the trailer or visit the official site. Office website: The Family that Preys

Why Did I Get Married? Review

Image
Number one at the box office this weekend, pulling in over 21 million dollars, Why Did I Get Married? is a must see. Real talk, this is one of the best movies I have seen in a while. If you did not get a chance to watch, you have to go check this out. You will laugh (definitely laugh), cry (only if you have a heart), get ticked off, and feel inspired all through out this film. Tyler Perry does not disappoint by throwing in whopper size secrets in there but don't expect that this is like his plays. The only similarity is the ongoing message of having God in your life. The acting was great. The pacing was right on time. The writing was on point especially with the dialogue between the guys. Tyler Perry kept it real. It is easy to insert people you may know in your own lives into those of the characters. Tyler Perry as Terry- He did a great job of portraying a regular dude trying to get some time with his wife. Terry's characterization was that of the guy next door (if there is...

Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married

Is it just me, or has the picking of Black movies been slim to none this year? I do not pay attention to the movies as much anymore since I do not get to go to the movies that much anymore but I do tend to notice when there is a good Black movie, and there just hasn't been that many. Well, never fear! Tyler Perry to the rescue (I hope). Why Did I Get Married, starring Tyler Perry, Janet Jackson, Sharon Leal, Jill Scott, and Denise Boutte, is a vacation full of drama when four married couples get together for their annual trip, only this year secrets come out and feelings get hurt. Tyler Perry directs and produces the film. I just may try to see this movie, without the kids of course.

Tyler Perry's House of Payne This is the first season of the show Tyler Perry fans have been hearing him allude to over the past couple of years. Tyler Perry's House of Payne airs on TBS at 9/8 central on Wednesday nights. Critics are killing it with bad reviews and I think I know why. I have watched a couple of the shows and I have to say that they are actually funny but ... now you know there had to be one. As I was watching, I thought the laugh tracks were grossly misplaced to the point where they made the show seem dull. There are some very funny and witty jokes, in my opinion, made on the show; however the laugh track completely ignores them and is instead placed somewhere that doesn't make any sense. The reason this is a problem is because it leaves the viewer wondering what was so funny that they felt the need to place a laugh track. Lets face it, when utilized properly, laugh tracks can be your best friend, but if they are over used or used incorrectly, as it seem...
