Momma's Man Starring Matt Boren

Momma's Man is a film that stars my friend Matt Boren. I just came across this trailer and it looks really good, Matt definitely did his thing! The story seems interesting about a man who's married with a kid and goes back home to his parents and doesn't want to grow up. I know a lot of married men with children can relate to this movie in a lot of ways. The films been getting great reviews from the New York Times and in the UK about the superb Acting and writing. By the way Matt is also a comedic writer, has a blog meeshandthebelly.blogspot.com and most importantly a new Dad!

Congratulations Matt & Michelle!

Harold Hunter RIP

It was Harold Hunters Birthday last weekend and someone posted some photos and a video of him on Facebook. Harold was so funny and he knew everyone and everyone loved him. Aside from being a pro-skater, he was in the movie "Kids" along side his Best friend Justin Pierce who died a couple years after the movie "Kids" came out. Before I met Harold I didn't know of any Black skaters and now most of the kids I see today are on skateboards and there are more African American pro-skateboarders then ever. Harold Hunter was the Basquait of our generation, if it weren't for him there would be no Skateboard P. I miss him but most importantly honored to have known such an amazing guy!

RIP Harold Hunter...We miss you!!!

Karl Lagerfeld - Lagerfeld Confidential


The Karl Lagerfeld Documentary is hilarious! Before the Doc, like most people, my perception of him was fabulous and that he was a big queen but after seeing the doc I see him in a whole new light. He's still a big queen but the Karl Lagerfeld's persona in the film is very un-American, I love that! Not that I'm anti-American but Americans are so Politically Correct that it's boring and bullshit. I love people that keeps it real...I LOVE YOU KARL!!!!

YSL video part 1


YSL designer Stefano Pilati has created seven short films exploring his interpretation of this collection which is about Masculinity. He wants Fashion Films to become his trademark and considers this to be the future of Fashion. All I have to say is WORD Up!

a nos amours



This is a French film by Director Maurice Pialat and is part of The Criterion Collection. This film takes place in the eighties and the wardrobe is amazing but subtle.The story is about a confused young woman, from a dysfunctional family. Sounds like a typical teenager but of course the story is well done. I can't guarantee that you'll come away with anything other than...Sandrine Bonnaire looks young and beautiful in this film. There's definitely more to it than that but check it out for yourselves.

Cu-kie

Solomon Gibbs Directorial Debut...starring Ishmael Gibbs.
My son Solomon is 4yrs old and entitled his first short film "Cu-kie". Solomon coaches Ishie, his little brother to say random words like "Cu-Kie". Excellent Job for his first attempt. Look out for more shorts from Solomon Gibbs.

Kai Kuhne does a Fashion Video


This is a fashion video for designer Kai Kuhne who also designs for AsFour. Mr. Kuhne decided to do a Fashion video, instead of a Runway presentation and I believe this will be the wave of the future. Finacially it makes more sense and as a designer you have a more creative forum for your art/product. Look out for my Fashion videos in the latter part of 09. Designers...submitt your requests now

Rosie Perez working it out! (Pls excuse the bad quailty)

This is a Throw back Movie where the hair, wardrobe and dancing is phenomenal and let's not forget how this movie defined a generation! That was almost 20 years ago??? What happened people!! What happened that is that studio heads like most other major corporations believe in Quantity over Quality, the cream always rises to the top. So look out for more talented directors and movies that actually have to be creative with no budget.

I'm sure the director for the Kai Kuhne video did not reference this video but check out the comparison between the Fashion video and the intro to "Do The Right Thing", before the technology was there to make the outfit and scene changes look seamless. Got it give it up to Spikes editor, he was on it!

A Band Of Horses video - The Funeral

The Band Of Horses Video, "The Funeral" is directed by Matt Lenski. Matt and I go way back and I'm real proud of his work, I can see how he's evolved as an artist. This video is dope because it looks as if it is vintage footage but the lighting is so blown out and over-exposed that your like, Damn this looks real O.G.
Whether it is or isn't, props to Matt for making me rack my brain and think about it.

Polly



"Who are you, Polly Ma Goo" is my one of my favorite fashion films. Director, William Klein was ahead of his time and really blended the two worlds of Fashion and Film as we know it. The fashion alone is inspirational as a designer and an artist. Check out this clip and buy it for your film archives. I'll be following in William Klein's foot steps soon.
