TV Review: Hit the Floor
23 May 2013 7:07 AM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
Although the obvious comparison is to CW’s short-lived cheerleader drama “Hellcats,” “Hit the Floor” — a terrible title for VH1’s soap about, to cut to the chase, the Laker Girls — bears a closer resemblance to Lifetime’s “The Client List,” in that it’s so trashy and terrible, it’s kind of good.

Zimbabwean Director Of 'Pride' Heading Home To Shoot 'Riding w/ Sugar' (Watch Short Version)
14 May 2013 9:56 AM, PDT | ShadowAndAct | See recent ShadowAndAct news »
It never ocurred to me that the 2007 drama, Pride, which starred Terrence Howard, Kimberly Elise, Bernie Mac and others, was directed by a Zimbambwean filmmaker named Sunu Gonera. Film blogging wasn't anything I was doing at the time, and I think was more focused on filmmaking, so I don't recall if I ever bothered to find out who directed the film, or if I did, but didn't do any further research on his name to find out that he was an African man. It's not exactly often that black African filmmakers are helming Hollywood studio movies, so I figured this one deserved mention, since his name really hasn't been mentioned on this blog - well, once, about a year ago, but more as a footnote »

Here's a second, longer teaser for the VH1-ordered Kimberly Elise scripted hour-long drama Hit The Floor (previously-titled Bounce), which co-stars newcomer Taylour Paige, Charlotte Ross, Logan Browninghas and Dean Cain. Still no sign of Elise though. Obviously the show's emphasis is on the young dancers, and not their mothers. And it is VH1, so the target audience the upcoming series skews younger anyway.
