Hard Knocks: Training camp with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicks off August 8 on HBO.
The Making Of “Strength Of A Woman” (VH1 Trailer)
Watching the trailer for “The Making Of: Strength Of A Woman” (debuting on VH1, May 2nd at 11pm EST) you get a sense that Mary J. Blige is laying it all on the line in a few ways. First, she mentions a couple of times that this “Strength Of A Woman” project she is dropping is about healing herself; sharing her struggles, not prescribing or preaching for anyone else. That more than infers a second; Mary putting her business all the way out there (which she has done before, but that “that’s my Becky With The Good Hair” line implies some SCANDALOUS storytelling is in store). Third, The Queen Of Hip-Hop Soul declares that this LP is the ‘real Mary‘… almost like a love-it-or-leave-it decision point will be laid out for the fans who cop. Risky, but hey, it’s Mary J; so folks will likely love it.
Now, we’d be pound foolish not to mention the coup of leveraging Mary’s brand in pushing an ‘album documentary’ timed around the release of “Strength Of A Woman” on VH1 where her target audiences (longtime fans of hers AND longtime fans of reality show level DRAMA) will be watching. Plus, peep all the contributors’ cameos, from Diddy to DJ Khaled.
There’s a reason the Queen is the most powerful attacking piece on the board. The Queen Of Hip-Hop Soul is on the move, starting with tomorrow’s release of “Strength Of A Woman” followed by this tell-everything documentary on May 2nd.
La Granja (Trailer) [NSFW]
Breaking Glass Pictures got the rights to this Puerto Rican indie drama and is planning to put it on some U.S. screens; in theaters, then making video-on-demand and DVDs available in June. Check out the trailer for “La Granja” (Not Safe For Work) above.
Damn. All that… from a random horse-in-a-park sighting. If this movie is anything like the trailer teases, it is WORTHY!
Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger (Series Trailer)
Good move for Marvel for 2018: Push further into TV. DC is doing it… very well… on The CW (Supergirl, The Flash, Legends Of Tomorrow, Arrow) and Fox (Gotham). Five shows to Marvel’s one-and-a-half (Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. with Legion counting as a ‘half’ for now).
And this trailer for Marvel’s “Cloak & Dagger” – set to debut on Freeform (formerly ABC Family). DOPE!
(Plus, Marvel is already RULING all on Netflix. Maaaan!)
American Assassin (Trailer)
Oh ho hooooo sh!t!!! Sometimes a kill-people-that-need-to-be-killed movie is the way to start a kick-azz weekend. Sometimes most of the time. In September… it’ll be one (or more) of those weekends! But today, you can start your weekend with this trailer.
AMERICAN ASSASSIN follows the rise of Mitch Rapp (Dylan O’Brien), a CIA black ops recruit under the instruction of Cold War veteran Stan Hurley (Michael Keaton). The pair is then enlisted by CIA Deputy Director Irene Kennedy (Sanaa Lathan) to investigate a wave of apparently random attacks on both military and civilian targets. Together the three discover a pattern in the violence leading them to a joint mission with a lethal Turkish agent (Shiva Negar) to stop a mysterious operative (Taylor Kitsch) intent on starting a World War in the Middle East.

Awake, A Dream From Standing Rock (Extended Trailer)
The fight is still on, just not on your TV any more. Like most relevant revolutions… not televised. So what are the Sioux still beefing about over there? Pipelines for certain. But “Awake” goes deeper; telling the story of Native-led defiance that forever changed the fight for clean water, the environment and the future of the planet. You know, ‘trivial’ pursuits like that.
Guess this is not worth the mainstream (or those who say they are not mainstream) media’s air time, huh? Good thing for this documentary.
Beatriz At Dinner (Trailer)
Whoa! That part at the end. Where Salma (sexy as HELL even dressed ‘all the way down’) told that chick, “You don’t know me.” That was too real. Like just the other day almost-said-to-coworker real!
Beatriz (Salma Hayek), an immigrant from a poor town in Mexico, has drawn on her innate kindness to build a career as a spiritual health practitioner in Los Angeles. Doug Strutt (John Lithgow) is a cutthroat, self-satisfied billionaire real estate developer. When these two opposites meet at a dinner party, their worlds collide and neither will ever be the same.
And wowwww… Don’t know Lithgow as a person, but playing THAT much of an azzhole in this movie HAD to take WORK (one hopes, even though there are some mega-anuses out here in ‘real life’ – real talk).
“Beatriz At Dinner” hits the theater screens June 9th. Watch the trailer above.
Detroit (Trailer)
That’s John Boyega, dude from ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens.’ No light sabers in this one, but no less compelling a story… Plus, it’s real.
From the Academy Award winning director of THE HURT LOCKER and ZERO DARK THIRTY, DETROIT tells the gripping story of one of the darkest moments during the civil unrest that rocked Detroit in the summer of ‘67.
Check out the trailer for “Detroit” (in theaters August 4th).
Dear White People (Latest Netflix Series Trailer)
Buckle up! ‘Dear White People’ is coming to Netflix on April 28th. The whole series, available for binging, that day. Despite that line about the black dildo (what?!), this will be a Netflix-and-NO-chill deal.
Based on the acclaimed indie film, this series satirizes “post-racial†America as students of color navigate a predominantly white Ivy League college.
Rodney King (Netflix Trailer)
Spike Lee with another Joint. Can you believe it has been 25 years since the uprising over the “Rodney King” verdict (that exonerated the LAPD cops that beat the F**K out of him)? Given recent events, you likely think:Â ‘Damn. It has been 25 years since we thought the police beatdowns should have been over… and they STILL aren’t over.’ Watch this trailer and get ready for another hot-blooded summer, courtesy of Netflix and Spike Lee.
His story shook the world and lit LA on fire. Now it comes to life in a powerful one-man show.
Compelling presentation & performance by Roger Guenveur Smith.
The Hitman’s Bodyguard (Explicit Trailer)
The homie Corey (aka DJ D-Block Da MixDragon) shared this trailer for “The Hitman’s Bodyguard” and wrote a PERFECT post to accompany it:
Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson in a movie together. ….Deadpool and Nick Fury in a movie together. The amount of ways ‘muthf**ka’ will be used in this movie will be legendary!!!!!
Bwaaaahahaaaaaa! That write-up, and the trailer, just made this movie make my must-watch list. See ya in August folks!

Sandy Wexler (Netflix Trailer)
Wowwwww. This has got #NetflixAndChill all over it. Please call up that special someone and get some heartfelt laughs going over some hot buttery popcorn on the couch tonight (or whatever night this weekend is good). Chuckles beget silly snorts, silly snorts become snuggles, and one thing, leading to the bada-bing… aaaand who’s making breakfast *wink*
In the 90’s one man ruled Hollywood with an iron fist. Sandy Wexler was not that man.
– Netflix
An ‘Iron Fist’ huh? Clever, Netflix, clever. And kudos, Adam Sandy, that Jennifer Courtney is some serious Eye Candy!
Thor: Ragnarok (Teaser Trailer)
In Marvel Studios’ “Thor: Ragnarok,†Thor is imprisoned on the other side of the universe without his mighty hammer and finds himself in a race against time to get back to Asgard to stop Ragnarok—the destruction of his homeworld and the end of Asgardian civilization—at the hands of an all-powerful new threat, the ruthless Hela. But first he must survive a deadly gladiatorial contest that pits him against his former ally and fellow Avenger—the Incredible Hulk!
– Cinelinx
Rock’em sock’em on an intergalactic other-worldly level! But how in the Asgard did Hulk go from (literally) flying off into the sunset on the last Avengers movie to going the f**k off in the super-powered gladiator arena fighting Thor? No answers… yet. But an action packed teaser for the next Thor chapter… YES!
All Eyez On Me (Latest Trailer)
“All Eyez On Me” is not just a career-making album anymore. Soon, it will be the go-to for convos on the life & times of one Tupac Amaru Shakur. The dude that plays Tupac, great casting. They got the dude that played Biggie from “Notorious” to reprise his role. But look at the dude playing Suge Knight though. Ringer!
Master Of None (Season 2) [Series Trailer]
Heeee’s back… in the States! Aziz, with his Mom and Dad (awww). For real, his parents play his parents. Just in case you aren’t up on things, go binge season 1 of “Master Of None” on Netflix. Season 2 comes out on May 12, so you have a little bit of time.
After traveling abroad, Dev (Aziz Ansari) returns to New York to take on challenges in his personal and family life, a new career opportunity, and a complex, developing relationship with someone very meaningful to him.

Former NBA Player Kenny Anderson’s New Documentary Film “Mr. Chibbs” (Trailer)
One of the best pure point guards in the NBA.
That’s Kenny Anderson. And that’s a hell of an intro for a basketball player… drunk driving, womanizing, babymaking machine. And balancing it all, reflecting on and coming to grips with it all, and the journey forward as a sober, responsible man and father… ought to make for one hell of a documentary.
Yep. Call the movie “Mr Chibbs.” Looks like a slam dunk for a must watch.
