Film:”Platinum Status the Movie”

Shout out to the homie Surge Requena he is a gangsta & a gentleman and now movie star! (Follow him on twitter @SurgeRequena I heard he funny). Surge along with a nice star cast including @thereallumidee & @djcamilo will be in this film. Platinum Status the movie is a film made by DJ Locorious. This flick looks right up my alley. A lot of East Coast hustling going on. Check the preview and movie coming soon.

I love independent movies. There are a lot of classic movies out there that didn’t cost $10 mil to make. These films are someones vision, hard work, blood and guts. They’re not advertised all over television. You have to keep your ear to the street. Independent film is like underground hip hop to Hollywood. Make sure to check Platinum Status.

Broad Street Movies & Luxe Films

Here are two movies,films,flicks,theatrical releases or whatever you choose to call them on my must see list for 2010. First is a Film Festival hit, “Gangster Paradise:Jerusalema“. This South African gangster movie might be good enough to sit next to my City of God, Slumdog Millionaire & Gangster #1 DVDs. I like foreign gangster cinema. Enjoy the preview: Coming soon to select theaters…

Wall Street 2:Money Never Sleeps” looks like a very Luxe gangster movie. Yes in my opinion this is categorized as gangsta. This sequel to the 1987  ”Wall Street” directed by Oliver Stone is again directed by Oliver Stone. Michael Douglas also returns as Gordon Gekko. Fresh out of prison trying to fit back into society. Sound familiar? Sorry Charlie Sheen fans you will have to settle for Shia LaBeouf (Transformers).  Yeah so anyway enjoy the preview: In theaters Sept. 24, 2010 

These two movies may seem worlds apart, but they’re really not. Broad St. & Luxe Blvd are closer than you think. Dont be afraid to come out of you comfort zone. A wise man once said, “I got the shot gun you got the briefcase. Its all in the game right?”   R.I.P. Omar Little

Iron Man 2:Product Placement

What a great beginning of summer blockbuster movies. This weekend I had the pleasure of viewing the Iron Man sequel. I’m not a crazy comic fanatic but I do enjoy the films. I have to say Tony Starks is the only super hero super star that ever made me say,”Wow, I have to get that”. And I don’t mean in a kiddie I want Batman’s boomerang kind of way. I mean I can actually go to Neiman Marcus  and purchase grown up toys.

 I take great pride in taking the risk in buying things before I see some celebrity give a product thier stamp of approval. It takes some effort to be one step ahead of Hollywood & Rap stars. But I will admit its a losing battle. While viewing  Iron Man 2 here are some things I placed into my shopping cart or wish list.

These Initium “All In” sunglasses are a must have for me. I saw them I want them. Metal frame, polarized lenses and spring loaded hinges. Retail for $154. Maybe they fit my face shape maybe they don’t. The shades are Luxe. Breaking the face shape rule is Broad St. All sunglasses worn in the film are by Initium

Tony Starks vehicle of choice is the Audi R8 V10 Spyder. If you haven’t seen it here it is. Estimated price $165,000 ,4wheel drive & 0-60mph in 3.7 seconds. And it looks good really good.

Even down to the timepiece it is serious. Will the watch that Iron Man wears be more in demand than James Bonds?
