The Movement — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 16:09:37 +0000

Saturday afternoon, a flash mob took over Times Square in New York City to honor the memory of “Soul Train” creator Don Cornelius. Playing 70′s classics like The Jackson Five’s “Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough”, some fans really got into the spirit by donning Afro wigs and roller skates and grooved down the now classic “soul train” line.

Cornelius, 75, was found dead in his Los Angeles home this past Wednesday, reportedly from an apparent suicide.

Denzel Washington Breaks Down Struggles of Blacks in Hollywood

The Movement — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 16:32:18 +0000

In a sit-down interview with The Grio’s Chris Witherspoon, actor Denzel Washington shared his views on the invisible ceiling black actors and directors hit when it comes to funding black films.

“Tyler Perry can make movies up to a certain budget, and then he hits a ceiling….it’s more they (Hollywood) don’t want to take a chance. Because this town, black or white, they’re just bean counters. They’re just crunching the numbers.”

Washington, who just wrapped up filming Flight with director Robert Zemeckis (“Forrest Gump”), admits that Paramount Studios only gave the project a mere $32 million budget because of the movie’s somber subject matter–Denzel’s character is an alcoholic airline pilot.

Anthony Mackie on Black Cinema: “Our Hustle Is Way Behind”

The Movement — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 02:00:24 +0000

Anthony Mackie unintentionally created a lingering story when he shared his thoughts about the state of Black cinema. Mackie said that Blacks have not done enough to get their stories told. Speaking with NPR, the New Orleans-bred actor said his statement was “blown completely out of proportion,” but did acknowledge that it “was a bad choice of words by me.” He did, however, echo a similar sentiment, citing the late Don Cornelius, Bill Cosby, and Robert Townsend on using their own money to put their products out there.

He said: ”If you look at all of these people from the analogs of African-American history in entertainment, they gave us a blueprint on how to make money, and how to make it work. And I feel like, you know, you get out in the L.A. life. You’re laying in the sun. You’re being invited to parties. You’re having a good time. You have girlfriends, boyfriends. You have expensive cars. You forget the idea of hustle. And I think right now, our hustle game is way behind.”

Anita Baker Victim of Bad Directions, Not Break In

The Movement — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 01:23:49 +0000

On Monday, celebrated R&B singer Anita Baker called police to her home in Grosse Pointe, Michigan after she spotted a woman looking through her windows and heard sounds that suggested the person was trying to enter the house by way of the back door. Anita jotted down the woman’s license plate number and turned it into the authorities. After an investigation, it turns out the woman “sneaking around” was just a cleaning lady with a faulty GPS system.

Detectives found the woman and her cleaning crew to straighten out the matter. Grosse Pointe Public Safety Director Stephen Poloni explained to Grosse Pointe Patch that they had no idea it was Baker’s home, but quickly realized that they were on the wrong street after they were unable to enter the home freely as instructed. Anita had reason to be suspicious all the same: Last year she had to call the police to her house after a young man showed up at her doorstep at 3:00 A.M. — singing to her hoping she could help him be discovered.
