The Grammys 2011
There was a time when I used to watch the calender and do my own private countdown until Grammy night, however, it is a routine I abandoned a few years back. I don’t know, perhaps it might be because I lost interest in award shows all together. One thing for sure is that I am […]
Anthony Anderson’s explosive web series, “Anacostia”
I just got through viewing the last three episodes from season 2 of Anthony Anderson’s riveting web series, “Anacostia“, and I have to tell you that I am amazed by his creative gift of bringing dramatic cinema to life. The cast is an array of talented women and men who literary become the characters they […]
Teena Marie (March 5th,1956 – December 26th, 2010)
“Since Day One” a warmth was generated inside of my heart from the “Irons In The Fire” that were yielded from your beautifully written lyrics, so poetic were they and “365″ days a year I carried your messages of love and spiritually within my soul, inspired by the gift of voice and melody you so […]
Basia at Bimbo’s in San Francisco California: An Author G. D. Grace Concert Review
Anyone who has seen the YouTube links I post on Facebook knows that my musical taste is vast; from Gospel to R&B, from Jazz to Light Pop, and Rap to Light Rock, if I find a connection with the lyrics, the melody or the message in a song my ears can be stroked and seduced […]
ABC’s “UGLY BETTY” – author, G. D. Grace reflects
I’ve always been drawn to shows with comedic and dramatic overtones, and I believe it has a lot to do with an absolute need for escapism. Literary expression and the cinematic experience are artistic vehicles that can transport me to places and situations outside the realm of normalcy and actuality, and while there I am […]
“For Colored Girls” – an Author, G. D. Grace Pre-Review
Even though I have yet to see this movie, I have heard a lot of backlash regarding the storyline of it. I just jumped off of a blog talk radio show where the host and chat room participants were pretty much slamming the entire movie. I believe that people are entitled to their own opinions, […]
TV ONE’S “Shadowboxer” – Movie review by author, G. D. Grace
“Shadowboxer” is a cinematic drama released in 2006, staring Oscar winning actor and actress Cuba Gooding Jr, and Mo’Nique. Also in the cast are Helen Mirren, Stephen Dorff, and Vanessa Ferlito. Mo’Nique plays a crack-smoking character named Precious (ironic huh?), the love interest of a neurotic doctor in the film but, unfortunately, her on-screen time […]
Oprah’s Interview with Katherine Jackson an Author G. D. Grace review
A mother’s love transcends time and space. Her maternal instincts are extraordinary and divine in nature, so regardless of a child’s behavior the only one that truly understands, wholly, that child, would be the woman who gave him or her life. My own mother has shared wisdom with me over the years that has always […]
VH1′s “Fantasia for Real” – an Author, G. D. Grace review
In an age where booty-popping, pants sagging off the ass, and half-naked women in videos reign supreme, it is always refreshing to see music artists who rely more on their natural singing abilities as opposed to thin-vocals enhanced by studio gadgets. On last Friday’s “Mizz Richburg” show, Ric Evans, a seasoned show business veteran said […]
TV ONE’S “UNSUNG”: Finale “The O’Jays” an Author, G. D. Grace review
Without any doubt, television programming had taken a turn in the wrong direction for me for a while. Between all of the reality shows, and the lack of quality shows about people of color, I had somewhat shunned television all together, utilizing the DVR to scan and create my own line-up of shows to watch […]
