TrailerWatch: “Night School”

Posted on April 3, 2018 by Denise

Let’s go back to school y’all! I’d go back to school to get another diploma if Tiffany Haddish was my teacher – talk about making school fun! But ’til then, here’s the trailer for the Haddish/Kevin Hart comedy, Night School. Synopsis!

Star Kevin Hart and producer Will Packer, who partnered for the hit Ride Along and Think Like a Man series, bring their signature style to Night School.
The comedy from director Malcolm D. Lee (Girls Trip) follows a group of misfits who are forced to attend adult classes in the longshot chance they’ll pass the GED exam.

Night School is in session September 28th, 2018.

Wayback Review: “Young Adult”

Posted on March 27, 2018 by Denise
Originally published at Geek for e back in 2011.  WHOA.

High school.  Whatever.  But for some, high school was their best, shining moment; the time where they were everything to everyone and nothing could stand in their way.  Like Mavis Gary, a former Queen Bee of her high school that moved to the big city and became a bestselling writer.  Oh, so that sounds good to you?  Me too.  But for Mavis, her world is a revolving door of writing, drinking, passing out face-first on the bed, and regret.  Her way out of this slump?  Go find her high-school boyfriend and get him back, of course.  I’m sure his wife and baby girl won’t be too much of an obstacle.

CON NEWS: (RE)GENERATION WHO 4 – CAPALDI! GOMEZ! COSPLAY!

Posted on March 25, 2018 by Denise

Well’p, it’s time to get to the meat of ReGen4 – Saturday! And things were hopping. As I figured on Friday, the place was a whole lot busier, but even with the sharp increase in attendees (as is usual for weekend convention days) the place moved along nicely.  I heard “Whovians are the nicest!” several times during ReGen4, and Saturday proved it.  Crowded?  Sure. But there was a friendliness, and camaraderie that made getting around easy.  People worked together, got out of each other’s way, and happily showed others open seats next to them that were free.  It was a lovely atmosphere.

From Movie-Blogger.com: Friday’s ReGen wrapup!

Posted on March 23, 2018 by Denise

Check out the original piece HERE!

Time to hop into the TARDIS and have an adventure, Whovians – (Re)Generation Who has returned to Baltimore, Maryland for its fourth year.  And like years past, this con is some of the best fun you can have with or without a sonic screwdriver.  This small (by Dragon Con, Awesome Con, and SDCC standards) convention packs a whole lot of entertainment opportunity into it’s weekend-long run.

Today was the kickoff of ReGen4, and while Fridays tend to be much less busy than their official weekend counterparts, I noticed a definite uptick in attendees since last year.  That’s not a comment on how low attendee numbers were last year, instead ReGen4 is gaining traction as a Doctor convention worth checking out.  As it’s been one of my favorite cons – and I’ve been to a lot of ’em – I’m happy to see this con getting the love it deserves.  Though I’m sure I’ll soon be one of those con goers that’s all “man, I remember when ReGen wasn’t so crowded…”. Because I’m a jerk. Continue reading →
