New Chris Rock Movie "Good Hair"

Chris Rock has released the trailer for his new movie "Good Hair" which documents the evolution of black hair from pre-relaxer to post perm. The movie starts by going back in history and documenting how perms started and how they've kept their relevance in the current day. The movie even goes as far as having avid, weave wearers Lauren London, Nia Long and Meagen Good speak on their experience with weaves. Now, when I first heard about this movie I was skeptical. But, looking at the amount of questions people have surrounding weave, I feel this will provide a concise, in depth documentation of the force that is "The Weave." Now, we just have to wait and see how the weave wearers react.

Sex In The City Sequel

All the Sex and the City fans can get excited; it's been confirmed that Carrie and her crew will be hitting the big screen again May 2010 with the Sex and the City sequel.

Denzel On Sex Scenes In Movies

The Training Day Oscar winner triumphed over legend Clint Eastwood to be named as the best actor in Hollywood.

Yet, critics of Denzel Washington claim the sex symbol rarely features in sex scenes and has even refused to do them in some movies.

In a recent interview the Oscar winner defended his decision saying, “I’m not into the explicitness of sex scenes if it doesn’t fit the movie. I’m not just going to do it because some producer thinks it will sell tickets”.

Another star who also avoided sex scenes prior to “Seven Pounds” was Will Smith who tied for third place on The Actors Poll. Several sources claim Smith’s reluctance to do sex scenes was based on his admiration of Denzel, who often avoided or petitioned the scenes to be cut.

The movie which co-stars Ali Larter of "Heroes" fame plays a temp who becomes obsessed with Elba's character. The movie is being tauted as the new millennium version of "Fatal Attraction". While the plot isn't exactly original. I'm excited for this movie, maybe Beyonce can step out as a real actress with this role.

He Put A Ring On It, This Time!

When I saw these rings by Melanie Lynn I instantly thought about Stanley Tucci, better known to many as Nigel, the quiet yet suave sidekick to Miranda in the Devil Wears Prada. Always adorned in a designer suit or immaculate sweater, Nigel was the tea in The Devil Wears Prada. Before seeing him in the movie I was never a big fan of rings on men, unless wedding bands. But, by seeing the way Stanley Tucci rocked the bohemian styled rings with his designer suits I saw a glimpse of hope for jewelry for myself in 09. I told you men, it's about coloring outside those lines in 2009.

I'm off to find some of The Intellect's rings

Sssssssssssh, it's a secret, I don't want her to know.

The Secret Life of Bees

Set in South Carolina in 1964, The Secret Life of Bees tells the story of Lily Owens, whose life is shaped by her blurred memory of the afternoon of her mother's accidental death. When Lily's black "stand-in mother," Rosaleen, insults three racists in town, they escape to Tiburon, South Carolina, a town that holds the secret to Lily's mother's past. Taken in by an eccentric trio of black beekeeping sisters, Lily is introduced to their mesmerizing world of bees and honey, is forced to confront her own dark past and learns what it means to be a family.

As an avid movie viewer, I must tell everyone to check out "The Secret Life Of Bees" starring Queen Latifah, Dakota Fanning, Jennifer Hudson, Alicia Keys and Sophie Okonedo. I can't articulate into words how great this movie is. From the astonishing cast to mind-blowing plot, it's a movie-must see. It's rare a movie grabs you during the opening and holds you until the end but, Secret Life Of Bees.. does! So with that said, finish checking You Got Tea and head to the movies right now. We need to continue to support our black films.

Will Smith Blockbuster On Deck

Awhile back there were pictures of Will Smith, scantily clad showing off a toned physique. Well those pictures were from "Seven Pounds" a movie starring none other than blockbuster-hit maker himself. Will plays Ben, an IRS agent who is depressed and guilt-ridden about mistakes from his past and sets out to make amends by helping seven strangers. I'm excited about this film, it appears to be a great role for Will. These past few movies we've seen the whole super-hero character. So, this will tie the Will we previously saw in films such as "Six Degrees of Separation" and "Pursuit of Happyness" which was directed by the same director as Seven Pounds, Gabriele Muccino. The movie is set to release in December so stay tuned for more details.

Anna Faris Is Cunt Boots

Get into the trailer for House Bunny, the new comedy featuring Scary Movies' Anna Faris. I love the scene where she is tippin like Marilyn Monroe. From watching the trailer this movie seems to be a fresh, young comedy which I like. I've enjoyed Faris' past work in Scary Movie even though they tend to become tedious. But, nonetheless I look forward to seeing 'House Bunny' when it hits theatres on Friday, August 22nd.
