Film Review: James Brown Bio ‘Get On Up’ Stuck in a Funk
Submitted by PatrickMcD on August 1, 2014 - 4:25pmCHICAGO – “Get On Up” contains one dynamite performance trapped in a frustratingly mediocre movie.

Submitted by BrianTT on September 9, 2010 - 1:42pmCHICAGO – Tyler Perry’s films have been steadily improving but the ones that work still rely heavily on their leading ladies – for example, Taraji P.
