You both will be in my thoughts and prayers... 

Same here sis.

I wasn't able to support it this weekend like I wanted to because I've been at the hospital all weekend with my mother, but I plan to go support it as soon as I can.

   

Prayers up for your mother.  Lots of hugs for you

VG, your mother is more important than a movie.  Take good care of her.

Despite  George Lucas’s struggles to get any major movie studio to take a film featuring an all African-American cast, Red Tails proudly sits at second place at the box office.

According to Dealine.com :

Hollywood studios were stunned by how well the No. 2 film, George Lucas banner film Red Tails, did in matinees today. Until they discovered that the Lucasfilm/Twentieth Century Fox movie’s marketing inside the African-American community resulted in busloads of schoolkids and midday filmgoers for the Tuskegee airmen’s story.

Some industry professionals believe that this big win in the box office is a one-time thing. They feel after opening weekend, Red Tails will start to see ticket sales spiral down.Right now the pic appears very frontloaded but could keep surprising by flying towards $20M because of its ‘A’ CinemaScore from audiences.

Red Tails showcases a star studded cast including singer Ne-Yo, actor Terrence Howard and many others. Red Tails can be currently seen in theaters across the nation. Do you think major Hollywood studios will now fund more Black films?

I don't know, white folk are very funny and are very predictable. Since this movie did so well the first week, they will get curious and check it out for themselves. I don't expect the film to take a hung nose dive next week.

I really enjoyed the movie.  Great to see new faces on the screen.  Neyo should sing and write music ONLY!!!

But, at least his acting is better than Beyonce!!!!!

Great Movie....  During our seating.. it received an  from the audience.

Well worth it!!!

How was Method man

I thought the movie Red Tails was an excellent movie.  It was filled with storylines of comedy, action, and drama all rolled up into one movie.  I can't hardly wait for the prequel/sequel.

Meth didnt have much in regards to lines.... but I'd rather Meth as an actor than NeYo anyday.

Good movie, but I liked HBO Tuskegee Airmen better. Real names of pilots an more detail.

I HAVE TO AGREE. ...AND I WILL STILL BY A DVD COPY WHEN IT COMES OUT.

What we REALLY need to do is petition Tony Brown to re-release his series "Black Eagles" from his PBS show Tony Browns Black Journal from 1983.

It was 6 or 7 one hour episodes of Tony Browns Black Journal devoted to the "Tuskegee Experiment" as the War Department called it. It covered the story of the tuskegee Airmen in TREMENDOUS DETAIL from start to finish.

He even came back 20 years later and did a coda "Tuskegee Airmen: Still Flying" for Tony Browns Journal.

THE best, MOST definitive exposition of the story of the Airmen ever done. 

I WISH it was available...
