We wrap up our series covering the 1998 NAACP Image Awards Outstanding Lead Actress in a Motion Picture Nominees with George Tillman Jr.’s Soul Food. Does he deliver the sentimental and heartwarming family drama he intended? And how hungry does it make us? Tune in!
We continue our 1997 NAACP Image Awards for Outstanding Lead Actress nominees series with a conversation about Theodore Witcher’s only film, Love Jones. Is it a first film with questionable casting decisions, unbelievable dialogue, and badly paced editing? Or is it a good example of what romantic comedy dramas are supposed to be with enjoyable characters and a great ending?
The members have spoken and decided that, instead of a good film with real possible options for an alternate 1998 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Lead Actress, we should talk about Mark A.Z. Dippé’s Spawn, based on Todd MacFarlane’s comics. Poor Theresa Randle. Still, it makes for a fun conversation!
We continue our series looking at the nominees at the 1998 NAACP Image Awards for Oustanding Lead Actress, this time delving into our first Quentin Tarantino film on the show, his fantastic Jackie Brown. Lots to love and lots to discuss!
We kick off our series looking at the 1998 NAACP Image Awards Outstanding Actress nominees, starting with the brilliant Eve’s Bayou, Kasi Lemmons’ first film. Haunting, beautiful film worthy of a discussion. Check it out and tune in!
