I saw the screening of the movie Marshall. It was about Thurgood Marshall's involvement in a case of a Black chauffer being accoused of raping the wife of a advertiser. The case Connetticut Vs.Joseph Spell was a sensation that hit the media.

I remember this case. I saw a reenactment of it on an Investigation Discovery program. It was a very tragic story.
Just seen The Mountain Between Us this noon around 12. Beautifully shot movie, wonderful acting. The critics who said it wasn't good I'm wondering what they are looking at, but it did get praise by some top critics. It is a wonderful date movie which is missing, the critics that did love this movie. Lesson learned again, the reason why I didn't want to spend money on it when it first came out was because it was getting luke warm criticism. I'm glad Aubrey(my gf) convinced me since we weren't doing anything today to go see it. I wouldn't put it up there with A United Kingdom, but it is a pretty good and rare IR romantic film. Fans(mostly female fans) love it too as it is doing well despite going up against some stiff competition, in it's first week it was no. 2 at the box office bringing in $10.1 million dollars, second week numbers hold steady at no. 5 staying in the top 5 for it's second week: from variety 1.)Happy Death Day (UNI/BLUM), 3,149 theaters / $11.65M Fri.

I have just rented a teen horror flick that I never heard of before 10 minutes ago lol. I've only seen half the movie trailer and that's all I needed . . . most trailers stupidly spoil most movies so as soon as I saw you-know-what I exited backout like "Rent" lol. "All the Boys love Mandy Lane" starring a Pre-Johnny Depp Amber Heard set in her home state of Big Texas where she plays the highly-sought, never-been-bought student/athlete superstar virgin . . . well all those good, ole boys are rolling the dice to win her affections and I won't spoil anything since I haven't seen shit lol. Amber was giving some play to a Black classmate who wanted to put his bid in and she responded well and seemed receptive which probably pissed off the Caucasian competition who witnessed them walking hand & hand I have 48hrs to watch so I will post a review later. How I love this time of year with horror flicks all over cable tv and I seem to have stumbled upon one with teen interracial potential
Amber Heard is in another movie that came out in select theatres earlier this year where she has a black husband and they are swingers. I posted the trailer on here a couple of pages back.
I saw the film Echo Park. It was a drama about a socialite, living with her boyfriend(a guy she knew from childhood and rich). One day, she leaves him and the environment she lived in for a neighborhood in Los Angeles. She meets a black man in the coffee shop and their relationship begins. I don't want to give anything away. I don't know if this film was posted here. But it is worth a look.
