Psych Draws Vinnie Jones, Olivia d’Abo & Kali Hawk
6 June 2013 8:51 AM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
Psych is stacking the deck, drawing actors Vinnie Jones, Olivia d’Abo and Kali Hawk, and adding those wild cards to their already impressive hand. With these additions, season 8 should be aces.
Vinnie Jones recently played the bad guy, Sebastian Moran on CBS’s Elementary. I know the former professional footballer best as Bullet Tooth Tony from the cult classic Guy Ritchie crime film, Snatch. He also played the Juggernaut for X-Men: The Last Stand.
It comes as no surprise that on Psych, Jones will play a “brutal British criminal”. I mean, those three words may as well be the actor’s middle name.
Olivia d’Abo was a Wonder Years star once upon a time as Kevin Arnold’s older sister. TV Line reported on her impressive new role as a “master infiltrator” and number two in Vinnie Jones’ criminal organization. How fiendish! Speaking of villainy, d’Abo also »

Exclusive: Craig Robinson, Kerry Washington and David Allan Grier Talk Peeples
12 May 2013 9:13 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Sparks fly when Wade Walker (Craig Robinson) crashes the preppy Peeples annual reunion in the Hamptons to ask for their precious daughter Grace's (Kerry Washington) hand in marriage. Wade might be a fish-out-of-water among this seemingly perfect East Coast clan, but he's not about to let himself flounder. Instead, in a wild weekend of fun, dysfunction and hilarious surprises, Wade is about to discover there's room for all kinds of Peeples in this family, no matter their differences. Writer and first-time director Tina Gordon Chism (writer of Drumline) joins forces with Tyler Perry to present a laugh-out-loud look at the family ties that freak us out, but bind us together with love. Watch our exclusive interviews, where the world-renowned cinematologist Todd Gilchrist sits down with cast members Craig Robinson, Kerry Washington, David Alan Grier, and S. Epatha Merkerson, along with writer/director Tina Gordon Chism and gets to the root »

Kali Hawk is Kerry Washington's lesbian sister in "Peeples"
11 May 2013 9:14 AM, PDT | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »
Tags: Kimrie Lewis-DavisKali HawkKerry WashingtonPeeplesmoviesMovie NewsIMDb
Tina Gordon Chism's new film Peeples stars Kerry Washington as a well-to-do woman named Grace whose less-than-rich boyfriend, Wade (Craig Robinson), intends on proposing to her after he meets her family. It turns out that Grace hasn't told her family about Wade at all, and everyone seems to have secrets of their own. This includes Grace's younger closeted sister Gloria (Kali Hawk), who has a girlfriend named Meg (Kimrie Lewis-Davis). Gloria is a successful CNN broadcaster who brings Meg home as her "best friend."
Reviews indicate that the film is largely focused on Wade and Grace's relationship, but if you're a fan of Kerry Washington (who isn't?), you'll never feel its a waste of time. Although Gloria isn't as big of a role, it's great to see a black lesbian coming to terms with her sexuality and introducing her partner to her family. »

Peeples – The Review
10 May 2013 10:31 AM, PDT | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
One of the great obstacles for young couples, even in this modern age, is the big meet, or reveal, to the family of the romantic partner. The women are often not “good enough” for Mother’s “perfect son”. And then there’s the woman’s father, armed with withering stares and sometimes physical aggression (as part of protecting “Daddy’s lil’ girl”). Certainly this has been the subject of movie dramas and thrillers, but recently it has become a comedy staple thanks to the box office smash Meet The Parents and its two follow-ups. Well, now movie mogul Tyler Perry is jumping in, this time as producer, and gives us an African-American spin on this awkward part of the mating ritual. It’s time to meet the Peeples.
We first meet Wade (Craig Robinson) on the job entertaining and educating preschoolers with song. It’s not quite his dream job, »

'Peeples' review: Craig Robinson and David Alan Grier head African-American 'Meet the Parents'
9 May 2013 6:00 AM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
"Peeples" is an African-American "Meet the Parents" that slips funnyman Craig Robinson into the Ben Stiller role. Casting the musically minded Robinson in this formula comedy about screwing up your first encounter with your potential in-laws is like replacing Stiller's Greg Focker with Jack Black.
Yeah, that might work. And here, formulaic or not, it's funny.
Robinson plays Wade, an entertainer for kids who sings songs about learning to "use your words" and not pee your pants. How he ended up with stunning U.N. lawyer Grace (Kerry Washington) takes a bit of imagination.
Until you meet her parents. Not that she's anxious to let Wade meet "the Chocolate Kennedys." She does her family weekends in Sag Harbor without her live-in lover.
But Wade, egged on by his "doll doctor" brother (Malcolm Barrett, hilarious) decides to follow her to the Hamptons and surprise her and her folks with a proposal. »

Bad News For Tyler Perry
8 May 2013 11:12 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
The people of "Peeples" make a better impression than most collections of oddballs in the weary mold of comedies centered on meeting the prospective in-laws.
They still overstay their welcome, though.
With a long, boring buildup that finally pays off with scattered laughs in the second half, "Peeples" also manages to leave a better impression than the "Tyler Perry Presents" tag on the posters might imply. This is broad comedy, but nowhere near as broad – or boorish and shrill – as producer Perry's own family adventures (for disclosure's sake, there are screechy relations here, but Perry's Madea fortunately isn't among them).
Craig Robinson moves up from caustic supporting player on "The Office" to show himself an engaging romantic lead in the chubby, lovable, gregarious Jack Black school, while Kerry Washington lightens up from heavier drama as the love of his life, a daddy's girl whose daddy, naturally, doesn't approve.

Film Review: ‘Peeples’
4 May 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Domestic comedy “Peeples” may appropriate its entire premise and plot structure from “Meet the Parents,” but its heart is suffused with French cinema. Not the cinema of Godard or Rivette, exactly, but rather that specific strain of heated, horny, hyperactive farce that Gallic auds actually attend. Set amid the bourgeois black upper class rarely glimpsed on film, and driven by the discreet charm of lead Craig Robinson, writer-helmer Tina Gordon Chism’s debut pic deals out generous doses of anarchic hijinks without stressing over the narrative connective tissue in between, and the end product holds together just well enough. Modest B.O. beckons.
Last year, the Paul Rudd comedy “Wanderlust” was released on Blu-ray with an alternate “bizarro” cut that re-created the same rote plot as the theatrical cut, using only deleted scenes and outtakes, and it’s not difficult to imagine “Peeples” following a similar route. Hilarious bits of »

This (Past) Week In Black Television
23 April 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
**This was originally supposed to post over a week ago, but due to technical difficulties with my S&A account it sadly could not.** This week we focus on the Bet Network sitcom Let's Stay Together and the return of NBC's Revolution after a long hiatus. I've ragged a lot on the Jacque Edmonds Cofer (Living Single, Reed Between The Lines) executive produced Let's Stay Together in the past year plus of this column, about how the acting is often stiff, the situations flat-out silly and the comedy inconsistent and non-existent. All that said, there were also traces of quality within, something that the writers and cast seem to have taken a hold of in Season 3. Last season ended with Charles (Burt Belasco) trying to prevent his still-newlywed wife Stacy, played by Nadine Ellis, from seeing the episode of the always-entertaining Cheaters that he appears on when they caught his childhood friend kissing him. »
