Why We Laugh ft. Bill Crosby, Chris Rock, etc.
Directed by noted actor-producer-director Robert Townsend (“Hollywood Shuffle”), the documentary, which originally screened at Sundance in 2009 in the Premiere section, features interviews with prominent scholars, politicians, cultural critics, and a host of notable comics, including Bill Cosby, Chris Rock, Keenan Ivory Wayans, Steve Harvey, and Katt Williams. “Why We Laugh” tracks the evolution of black comedy from the character of Stepin Fetchit and minstrels in blackface to the politically tinged humor of Dick Gregory, and from the television success of Good Times and The Jeffersons to the big-screen accomplishments of stars such as Eddie Murphy and Whoopi Goldberg. The film also turns a perceptive eye on the controversial career decision of Dave Chappelle and the implications of corporate efforts to capitalize on the massive success of Russell Simmons’s Def Comedy Jam and Spike Lee’s The Original Kings of Comedy.

Prima J talks about getting record deal
June 2008 - Prima J is on Latina Magazine,About Prima J, rnrnThe name of their debut single may be “Rock Star,†but the two cousins that make up Prima J are everything but. In fact, Jessica and Janelle Martinez are so down-to-earth, it seems just as odd that their song is the lead track from the Bratz™ Motion Picture Soundtrack (released by Geffen Records July 31st, with the movie following August 3). rnrn

Boys of Baraka ( another good trailer )
When LokiFilms brought "Boys of Baraka" to the Coolidge Corner in Brookline, alt-newspaper reviewers didn't like it. Well, THE BOYS are grown up now and you can check them out to see how they are doing on the net. This film had a core theme that would make people think all Black Kids in Baltimore, MD are doomed, but its not quite that bad, is it?
