Written and directed by Stella Meghie, The Photograph brings a sweeping love story about forgiveness and finding the courage to seek the truth, no matter where it may lead you.
Starring Issa Rae, Lakeith Stanfield, Chanté Adams, and Y’lan Noel.
Here are two more trailers that speak for themselves.
Three of the following four clips are in the trailers. The one clip, a flashback, tells more about the story.
The featurette communicates the importance that this movie comes across as a black people’s movie.
The following two featurettes were released before the movie arrived in the theatres, so they get you interested in going to the cinema.
I like this movie clip because the chemistry is sizzling between these two people, and they seem comfortable with each other.
The story of Little sounds familiar because it is a take-off on some top-rated comedies.
Co-written and directed by Tina Gordon Chism, Little resembles movies like Freaky Friday or Thirteen Again. A woman suddenly becomes a teenager again. The film follows Jordan Sanders, played by Regina Hall (adult) and Marsai Martin (teenager). The adult Sanders is Hall, taking no prisoners tech mogul, and the 13-year-old version of Sanders is Martin.
Young Sanders wakes up in her adult self’s penthouse just before a do-or-die presentation. Watching the movie trailer, Martin is hilarious and fun to watch.
Sanders’ assistant, April, played by Issa Rae, is there to help. But Sanders is one of the worst bosses anyone has ever experienced. April’s suffering under her abusive behavior is now confrontational with Sanders at a younger age. Yet, April is the only one loyal enough to be in on the secret of her daily tormentor -Sanders. As everything is on the line, Sanders is now trapped in an awkward tween body.
Little is an irreverent new comedy about the price of success, the power of sisterhood and having a second chance to grow up — and glow up — right. The movie is an all-new perspective to the body-swap comedy.
The story is by Tracy Oliver, and the screenplay is by both Oliver and Chism and is based on an idea from Martin. Martin is a talented teenager who is also executive producing this movie.
The movie trailer is a kick to watch. I laughed a lot, and it has some funny bits.
The movie clip shows how mean and domineering Sanders comes across, but her assistant is just as strong.
The following two interviews I am adding because Hall is a fantastic actress and Martin is funny. These two separate interviews tell you what the movie is about and how it plays out.
The following two movie clips shine a light on Issa Rae and how talented she is on film. She carries the movie and is a fine choice of casting.
The following three clips take you on a great escape from a typical office or home day. Do yourself a favor and watch these clips. They are hilarious and move at a nice clip. The first one is with the Child Protective Services representative. This lady is funny, and both these actresses have met their match. My hat goes off to the casting director and director.
The following movie clip is so cute, with the school security watching these two actresses in the parking lot.
Here, we have Oscar winner Regina King playing the older version of Sanders before she becomes little. I am amazed at how she is owning up to being a tyrant. King is a true talent. The movie clip is no longer available, but the movie is super funny.
I posted a movie clip with some nice eye candy for us girls, but the studio blocked it. It is an essential clip because it gets interesting when Little Jordan goes to school. I can see the jealousy happening between these two women.
Directed by George Tillman, Jr. from the New York Times bestseller by Angie Thomas comes a poignant and contemporary story about the social scales tipping over as police officers unjustly kill a childhood friend.
The poster is so much better than the first. The star on the poster tells us it is a young girl’s story.
The Hate U Give follows Starr Carter, played by Amandla Stenberg, who constantly switches between two cultures. Two very diverse cultures from the poor, mostly black, neighborhood where she lives and the rich, mostly white, prep school she attends.
The strained balance between these cultures is toppled over when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil, played by Algee Smith, at the hands of a police officer.
Now, facing the community’s social pressures, Starr learns she must find her voice and stand up for what’s right.
Tillman helmed several movies and produced quite a few TV series and films. He is best known for Soul Food, his first movie as a director, which he made for $7 million. The movie grossed $43 million.
Audrey Wells adapted the screenplay. She has scripted and directed Under the Tuscan Sun and Guinevere while writing screenplays for diverse films such as George of the Jungle and Shall We Dance.
The Hate U Give also stars Regina Hall, Russell Hornsby, Issa Rae, KJ Apa, Sabrina Carpenter, Common and Anthony Mackie.
