Mission Impossible Three

Great summer action movie. Tom Cruise can do anything he wants offscreen because he delivers the goods onscreen. He seems to have a knack for placing himself in excellent films. And he is perfectly cast to drive those big budget movie machines. There are also 3 fine ladies in the film.

A wind farm provides the setting for one of the best action scenes when Cruise is in a helicopter and is being chased by another helicopter through the whirling blades. A missile from the bad guys' helicopter blows up one of the wind turbines. The bad guy helicopter is also chopped in half by one of the blades from another wind turbine. Two God curses (seems to be required in most Hollywood films).

Hollywood Dogs Prince George's County

Gina Davis' ABC TV show "Commander-In-Chief" helped to keep businesses from locating in the county by presenting an unrealistically negative image of this Washington, DC suburb. Okay, so the murder rate is rising rapidly in Prince George's County. But massive protests in Hyattsville about the increase? Ludicrous. The lady president comes to eat in the county and it is a chitlins and chops joint. Hilarious. And a bit stereotypically racist. We like lobster too. They could have also visited a nice restaurant at Capital Centre or Bowie Town Center. What about also mentioning that Prince George's is the richest majority black county in the U.S.? But it is also the poorest county in the Washington Metropolitan Area. What about the fact that Hyattsville is a model of integration and chic old school suburbia? AAEA Headquarters is in Prince George's County. ABC should consider another show that presents the many postives in the county.

The politicos held a big press conference and howled about the negative characterization. At a time when only two of the largest 125 public companies in the Washington Metropolitan Area are in Prince Georges's County, the last thing the county needed was a national television show advertsing that the county is a murder haven with inarticulate, chitlin-eating Negroes. At a fictitious meeting on the show to address grievances, one black woman says we need, "more better police." I mean Gina Davis as the president has a black chief of staff, who is a Republican from Prince George's County (and here we thought Lt. Gov Michael was the only one), so you would think she would have a sensitivity to the development needs of the county. Instead she ordered federal marshalls in to help subdue the murdering, chitlin-eating, inarticulate Negroes. Egads, forced into a whining position again.

UPDATE: Commander-In-Chief was cancelled right after this episode (at least for the rest of this season). We wouldn't be surprised if they try to resurrect it in the Fall.

Coca-Cola Goes Blak

Coca-Cola is introducing a new drink that mixes the flavor of coke with coffee. Although similar mixtures by other companies have failed in the past, Coke is banking on its new Blak product. I think we also have some black consumer marketing going on here too. Nothing wrong with that. Starbucks has 11,000 stores all over the world and Coke is a worldwide product too. And Starbucks recently financed a black movie: Akeelah and the Bee. Coke knows people like coca-cola and coffee, so why not combine them. Ever taste their Vanilla Coke? Interesting new taste for awhile. Don't know how much it sold, though it is still on the grocery store shelves. Right on Coke. Get your blak on.

Starbucks Finances Movie

Starbucks Entertainment has joined with Lionsgate and 2929 Productions to release the film "Akeelah and the Bee," a story about a girl succeeding against all odds to compete in the National Spelling Bee. Blacks often succeed 'against all odd' it seems. And of course blacks have to be two or three times better at this cliche. But we digress. Morpheus, uh, Lawrence Fishburn trains Neo, uh, an inner city black girl, to compete in the bee. Starbucks is to be commended for financing this movie.

Go see the film. It opens on April 28.

Omarosa's Online Short Film Debut

The movie "Soul Sistahs," starring Omarosa, left, is about space, power, and a red dress. The promo for describes the action: "An old yenta drag queen from outer space kidnaps Omarosa and forces the reality star to steal Donald Trump's hair in an effort to control the universe." Arnold Schwarzezegger had Red Sonja and Conan the Barbarian, which ultimately led to The Terminator. Let's hope "Soul Sistashs" will do the same for Omarosa.

VIEW THE FILM

Some observations: Donald Trump's hair as a source of power is a good plot angle. Why does Omarosa stand with her legs far apart? The special effects are right out of early "Star Trek." Why the name "Soul Sistahs" when there are few characters and Omarosa is the only black person in the short film?
