One reason we like showcasing music videos beyond the music of course is to see how the director showcases the artist. This video is directed by Dre Films. It's pretty good work with smooth flowing Stalley and Rashad starring. Shot in black and white with the streets as a backdrop, combined with live audience shots, the video tells the story with the vibe of the music. Keep em coming Rozay. |

THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO
Why you should see it NOW.
By Shelby Jones
Truth is "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" is simply one of the best films I have seen all year. I have been away for awhile and happy I was to avoid some of the recent crap that invaded theaters in December 2011. Wait a second, crappy stuff invaded theaters all year. Kinda like a sports team in need of their ace to come through in the end, Hollywood should be kissing the feet of David Fincher for bringing this trilogy to the big-screen in a sexy, commanding, scary, complicated, and complete way. There were many rumors and talk in the trades about how Tinseltown studio-execs were crossing their fingers on the possible success of "Mission Impossible" and "The Girl with Dragon Tattoo" to save 2011's box-office tragedies. Tom didn't deliver but Fincher came through like Jordan in the 4th or Ali in the 12th.
If you do not know David Fincher's work, you should. His way of making a film is unique and most importantly, he tells the story in the time allotted like very few ever have. Possibly at the end of this film he rushed some parts, but other than that, watching "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" feels like you are watching the story in real time. "The Social Network," "Seven," and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons" all share this compelling DNA from Fincher. All of those films missed not one beat in introducing you to the characters and allowing their arc to crescendo right when the credits are about to roll. When you leave the theater, you will feel like you know all there is to know about "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo."
Our film begins when hot shot magazine writer, Mikael, played superbly by the new James Bond man, Daniel Craig, writes an article that lands him in court because he didn't check his facts thoroughly (note to self - check complete facts before tell all on ____________) before outing a one-percenter for being a snake in business. When he realizes his career could be over, he his summoned to the estate of one of the craziest Swedish families ever to walk the earth. Full of former swastika wearing Nazis and modern-day suit wearing Nazis, this family is personified by scandal, lots of money and power and apparently a lunatic serial killer in their family.
But this time around, Mikael is provided with one bad-ass fact checker, Lisbeth Salander, aka the girl with the dragon tattoo. Played with a lil freaky sex-appeal, insanity and bad-ass tude by Rooney Mara, Mara will shock many by being sexy-with a punk rock edge. Huh? WTF you say? Yes, her character, although brutally raised and now brutal herself comes off the screen as a girl who deserves to be loved by someone as her life has been one big-godamn dragon. For you football fans out there, did you know that Rooney can go to any NFL game because yes, she is a part of the Rooney clan. If you don't know the last name Rooney, you are no football fan. Rooney Mara was born in Bedford, New York in 1985. She is one of four children born to New York Giants executive Timothy Christopher Mara and Kathleen McNulty, the granddaughter of Art Rooney, Sr., the founder of the Pittsburgh Steelers football franchise. Her father's grandfather was Giants founder Tim Mara. Her mother's maiden name was Rooney. (IMDB)
Now that Mikael has tgwtdt, our two heroes set out to solve one murder. Who killed Harriet, one of the youngest daughters in the family way back when. We know the killer is still alive because the patriarch who summoned Mikael is receiving a keep-sake every year that only he and Harriet shared. Who could it be? And that is the beauty of this film. It is part whodunit, part drama, part James Bond where the Bond Girl is actually the real badass. What chic isn't a bad-ass with a dragon tattoo? See it today, thank me tomorrow.

ABOUT RED TAILS
1944. World War II rages and the fate of the free world hangs in the balance. Meanwhile the black pilots of the experimental Tuskegee training program are courageously waging two wars at once -- one against enemies overseas, and the other against discrimination within the military and back home. Racial prejudices have long held ace airman Martin "Easy" Julian (Nate Parker) and his black pilots back at base -- leaving them with little to do but further hone their flying skills -- while their white counterparts are shipped out to combat after a mere three months of training. Mistakenly deemed inferior and assigned only second-rate planes and missions, the pilots of Tuskegee have mastered the skies with ease but have not been granted the opportunity to truly spread their wings. Until now.

RED TAILS
Director ANTHONY HEMINGWAY
Takes you Behind The Scenes in the making of this remarkable film.
Director Anthony Hemingway speaking on making RED TAILS. They put the cast through boot-camp, flight school, experiencing G-Force and all the things that make a cast/crew work properly and become believable. He also discusses how Prayer was a major part of making it happen. All I will say is don't wait for this on Netflix or go looking for Craig and nem' on the corner with a bootleg because he is not gonna have it and hopefully never will. None of that. Get with your friends, colleagues, family, children, church or honey and go to a theater next weekend, January 20, and see it with hundreds of others on the big screen. Trust me. You will like it and it is not a dime wasted. |
