Octavia Spencer, Tiffany Haddish, Carmen Ejogo and Blair Underwood are the stars of Self Made – Inspired by the Life of Madam C.J. Walker. The extraordinary story of trailblazing African American entrepreneur Madam C.J. Walker.

Walker built a haircare empire that made her America’s first female self-made millionaire…

I love stories about inspirational humans and I can’t wait to hear Spencer assert herself, speak as Walker and deliver lines that make me want to cheer.

Seeing this trailer also reminded me of another story about a real-life female entrepreneur  Joy Mangano, the subject of David O’Russell’s Joy (2015).

Kevin Carroll, Keeya King, Dalila Ali Rajah, Garrett Morris, Mouna Traoré, Sydney Morton, J. Alphonse Nicholson, Bill Bellamy, Sheila Isaro, Cornelius Smith Jr. and Devante Goulbourne also star.

Written and directed by Dan Gilroy of Nightcrawler (2014), Roman J, Israel, Esq. stars Denzel Washington, Colin Farrell, Carmen Ejogo and Shelley Hennig in a story about a driven, idealistic defence attorney. One who, as a result of a tumultuous series of events, finds himself in a crisis that leads to extreme action…

Of course I’m in! Washington and Farrell,  such a promising pairing – and thats before one even mentions Mr. Gilroy, the man responsible for the movie that really should have resulted in an Oscar nomination for Jake Gyllenhaal.

Roman J, Israel, Esq. Release Dates: November 3rd, 2017 (US); December 1st, 2017 (UK)…

Ethan Hawke has a new movie and this time he’s playing jazz musician, Chet Baker…

From Writer / director  Robert Budreau and also starring Carmen Ejogo and Natassia Halabi, Born To Be Blue appeals to me because it’s a come-back story. Who doesn’t need one of those at least once in a while in their life? I’ll be there for the inspiration and the music.

I just noticed that it’s only February 2016, but already we have two biographies about legendary jazz musicians coming up. Just a few weeks ago the trailer for Don Cheadle’s very intriguing  Miles Ahead (2015) was released and it looks good too.

Born To Be Blue Release Dates: March 25th, 2016 (US)…
