REDTAILS!

              Yesterday I went to United Artist Theater to see RED TAILS with my family. Before I give my opinion on the film let me just remind you all that, when going to support a black film (or a director, or production company that you favor) you should always make sure that the ticket you receive says the MOVIE of our choice title on it. I remember going to see a Tyler Perry film a few years back and the  ticket I received read "MALL COP, PAUL BLART"... I was so confused but then I realized that this was a scam to keep opening week numbers down for a Tyler Perry Production. Opening weekend is EVERYTHING for a film. I am actually eager to retrieve to my bedroom to put on New York one to see what "RED TAILS" did in the box office this weekend.
                RED TAILS was a great film, Terrance Howard's performance was exceptional. The story of our  men, Black History The Tuskegee Airman's Story is being told. As I sat in the theater proud to be an African American I was also proud to watch so many young black African American men on screen. Might I add that Tristan Wilds and his young handsome self made the film that more enjoyable. I want to encourage you all to go see this film this WEEK. Help opening week sales grow, take a young man with you so he can learn about HISTORY YES HIS-STORY!
