Last Black Man in San Francisco

“Last Black Man in San Francisco” is a film  starring Jimmie Fails, Jonathan Majors and Danny Glover. Fails, who plays himself in the film, wrote the story which so resembles his own and Director Joe Talbot together with Rob Richert co-wrote the screenplay. This is a tender, warm, well written and well acted story of the city of San Francisco and its diversified and unique group of residents who struggle to survive, recapture and hold on to their past. But the real essence of the film and its story is family history and how difficult it is to remain close to it as the adult years overtake us. I give the film 3 stars and suggest that after seeing the film the viewer will leave more than his or her heart in the city by the Bay.

Late Night

"Late Night" stars Emma Thompson, John Lithgow, Mindy Kaling and a

host of other supporting actors in this film whose screenplay was written by

Ms. Kaling ("The Office", "The Mindy Project") and directed by a very

talented Nisha Ganatra. Well paced and equally well written Ms.

Thompson brings to the role a broad spectrum of drama and comedy as

she portrays a late night talk show host facing personal and professional

issues as she is aided and abetted by Ms. Kaling's character. I give the film 3 stars

and recommend it for a rare and enjoyable movie experience not

available to the viewing audiences during these past few months.
