Big Props to Preston Whitmore
This is a wonderful feel good family movie. I'm usually all for getting a bootleg, but I may have to change my stripes. I'm impressed with all the effort these actors and producers are putting into getting these "primarily black" family movies on the big screen.
I took my four nieces and nephews to see this film and they loved it. I looked it up on IMDB and it got like a 5.1 out of 10. I may stop looking at their ratings due to the fact they gave "Enchanted" an 8 out of 10 and that shit was horrible
.
I'd give this movie an 8 out of 10. I loved the characters and I was blown away by Chris Brown. I never paid him much attention but Will Smith better look out he is a natural born actor. And he was singing his ass off in this movie.
I don't feel they let Joseph Black show his true potential but other than that this movie was FANtastic
I believe "This Christmas" could be a classic Christmas movie The only other one I can think of is "Friday After Next"
I must say I was disapointed that we were nearly the only folks in the theatre. It hasn't even been open a week has it?
Blacks are always saying we need more positive role models more positive images for the next generation. When Menace II Society came out you had to fight to get a seat in the theatre.
On a different note (didn't want to make two threads)
Week Of Nov. 26, 2007: Idol Schmidol - Jordin Not Setting Off Sparks
Posted Wed. Nov 28, 3:47 PM ET by Paul Grein
Jordin Sparks’ eponymous debut album. That’s the lowest entry to date for a debut album by an American Idol winner, taking that dubious title away from Season 3 champ Fantasia, whose Free Yourself opened at #8.
Sparks’ album sold 119,000 copies, which is a drop in the bucket compared to the 30,740,000 viewers who watched Sparks beat Blake Lewis in the Idol season finale last May. My arithmetic skills aren’t what they used to be, but I think that means that only about 1 in 250 Idol viewers went out and bought the album. (Where’s an eighth grader when you need one?)
Sparks’ opening week sales tally (as distinct from chart ranking) is also the lowest for a debut album by an Idol champ. It’s less than half of the opening week sales (298,000) rung up by Season 5 winner Taylor Hicks. It’s even less than half of the old low-end record tally (240,000) held by Fantasia. Sparks’ opening week total is scarcely more than that achieved by Season 5 runner-up Katharine McPhee (116,000). To put these numbers in a little perspective, the strongest opening for a debut album by an Idol winner is Ruben Studdard’s Soulful, which opened with sales of 417,000. (Clay Aiken, who was runner-up to Studdard in Season 2, had the strongest opening of any Idol contestant to date. His Measure Of A Man started with sales of 613,000.)
Part of the problem may be Sparks’ single, “Tattoo.” It’s an attractive, well-crafted single, but also an utterly generic one. It could be by just about anybody. It gives little hint as to what makes Sparks unique.
