Girl: “This is a one night stand.” Boy: “It’s only been one night…can’t do anything about that.” Boy. Girl. The City of rises and falls. Here is a 24 hour observation of the story between these three characters. Boy is average height, lanky, dark chocolate soulful eyes, full beard. Nice. Girl is tal ...

The Film: While Medicine for Melancholy clearly wears its influences on its sleeve, I found it to be an engaging film about two accidental lovers spending a day together after a booze-filled one-night stand.

But then came Barry Jenkins and his debut feature film Medicine for Melancholy and my world turned upside down. Throughout the entire film my visual and emotional ce ...

I must admit that I cringed when I first heard about Slim Thug's appearance on Comedy Central's Daily Show. Come on, you know why...few have been as seamlessly successful as Jamie Foxx when it comes to pulling recording artist/actor (and vice versa) double duty. But, since the Big Boss of the North ...
