I have to admit it, I have been in love with movies since a very early age. There's so many things to enjoy about the experience of going to the theater (sans the current ticket prices) from the big bucket of buttered popcorn; to memorizing the opening theme songs of every movie studio. I knew them all. Seriously, I will beat you if movie studio theme songs are part of trivia night.
The bottom line is, I love movies. And lately, I've been privileged to review a couple of new narrative films and documentaries for TheGrio.com. If you're not familiar with the site, check it out:
THE GRIO

TheGrio.com, an NBC news site really does some great work. It's the, "first video-centric news community site devoted to providing African Americans with stories and perspectives that appeal to them but are underrepresented in existing national news outlets. TheGrio features aggregated and original video packages, news articles, and blogs on topics from breaking news, politics, health, business, and entertainment, which concern its niche audience."
And without further ado let's get on to the reviews.
