In new comedy Here Today, Billy Crystal is Charlie, a veteran comedy writer who meets New York street singer Emma Payge (Tiffany Haddish) and they begin an unlikely friendship.

Written/directed by Crystal, Penn Badgley, Sharon Stone, Kevin Kline, Laura Benanti and Barry Levinson are among the key cast.

The week I become crazy busy and too exhausted to publish a post for nearly three days is the week that this little gem of a trailer is released.

I’m excited because Haddish and Crystal together is a partnership I didn’t know I needed to see until this trailer happened. And as a big fan of stories about beautiful/unexpected friendships, I hope this turns out great.

Anyone else get reminded of Haddish’s brilliant story about her dancing skills? Seeing her relationship with Crystal’s character here took me right back to that great story. If you haven’t heard it already. Treat yourself, at once!

Shiloh Verrico, Joanna Adler, Louisa Krause, Anna Deavere Smith, Susan Pourfar, Nyambi Nyambi, Lisann Valentin and Alex Brightman also star.

Here Today Release Dates: May 7th, 2021 (US)…

Read my spoiler-free movie review of  Mariah Carey’s Magical Christmas Special (2020).

Mariah Carey’s Magical Christmas Special is a Holiday special that promises music, dancing and animation. All of which is driven by a universally heartwarming story to bring us all together in 2020.

Directed by Roman Coppola and Hamish Hamilton; Mariah Carey’s Magical Christmas Special also stars, to name just a few, Jennifer Hudson, Snoop Dogg, Tiffany Haddish, Ariana Grande and Jermain Dupri.

I’ve personally been in the Christmas spirit for a while now, and this film right here is going to send me right over the edge. And I’m not mad about it.

As a Carey, Snoop, Haddish, Grande, Dupri and Hudson fan, I can’t wait to experience the seasonal spectacle, humour and oh, so beautiful voices.

Mariah Carey’s Magical Christmas Special Release Dates: December 4th, Apple TV+

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.

Salma Hayek, Tiffany Haddish, Billy Porter and Rose Byrne, are the stars of Like A Boss, a new Miguel Arteta directed comedy about two friends who decide to start a beauty company together.

A key challenge being that one is more practical, while the other’s focus is mainly on earning her fortune so she can live a lavish lifestyle…

Fingers crossed for a great result because I really do like the cast I’m quite sure I’ll enjoy the colourful costumes too.

Jennifer Coolidge, Ari Graynor, Billy Porter, Karan Soni, Catherine Parker, Jessica St. Clair, Jimmy O. Yang and Jacob Latimore also star.

Tiffany Haddish, Elisabeth Moss, Melissa MacCarthy and Domhnall Gleeson are the stars of new crime / drama The Kitchen.

Directed by Andrea Berloff, it’s the story of the wives of New York gangsters in Hell’s Kitchen in the 1970s, as they continue to operate their imprisoned husbands’ rackets…

I’m in for the Widows (2018) vibes. I’ll of course be comparing the two movies. Which will I like more? I wonder…

Common, Margo Martindale, James Badge Dale, Jeremy Bobb, Bill Camp and Brian d’Arcy James also star.

NIGHT SCHOOL (2018): The Thing I liked…

Night School, Kevin Hart and Tiffany Haddish ‘s comedy about adult troublemakers forced to get ready for the GED exam during night classes is not all that I’d hoped.

My very favourite moment in the whole nearly two hour duration of the movie is the beginning. Reason being, that’s when it had the most promise. Unfortunately though, from that point on my interest in the characters just decreased more and more as the film continued.

I definitely think that the movie should have been at least 20 minutes shorter. I like what it had to say about second chances and how instrumental the right teacher can be in getting the best out of seemingly difficult students. Nevertheless, I wanted the film to have my whole attention, without my mind wandering as it played. It’s therefore not as funny or engaging as the trailer had me hoping.

Give it a chance if you’re a big enough fan of Haddish, Hart and Taran Killam Just know that you probably won’t consider it one of their best movies.

NOBODY’S FOOL (2018): New Trailer From Tyler Perry Starring Tiffany Haddish, Tika Sumpter, Whoopi Goldberg, Omari Hardwick…

Nobody’s Fool is a new comedy/drama directed by Tyler Perry and starring Tiffany Haddish, Tika Sumpter, Whoopi Goldberg and Omari Hardwick.

Haddish plays a woman released from prison who helps her sister find  the identity of her catfish (fake identity on a dating/social networking service).

The plot certainly appears to be a little thin. However, the key reason I want to see this is Whoopi Goldberg’s performance.

I’m sure Haddish will be entertaining. Though, how much fun I have will likely depend quite a bit on how much of a ‘clone of her Girls Trip (2017) character’ this new role will be.

Nobody’s Fool Release Dates: November 2nd, 2018 (US); Novemeber 23RD, 2018 (UK)…

In new comedy Night School, Kevin Hart plays a member of a group of grown up troublemakers who are forced to attend night school in hopes that they’ll pass the GED exam to finish high school.

Tiffany Haddish, Taran Killam and Mary Lynn Rajskub also star…

I’m giving this one a chance in hopes that I’ll be plenty amused. Director of The Best Man (1999) and The Best Man Holiday (2013),  Michael D. Lee is in charge. So the hope is very much alive.

Additional cast includes Keith David, Ben Schwartz, Megalyn Echikunwoke, Bresha Webb and Jacob Batalon.

Night School Release Dates: September 28th, 2018 (US & UK)…
