COMMON PLAYS EX-CON IN “LEARNING UNCLE VINCENT”

By Lyric | November 30, 2011 | Movies, Video | No comments

L.U.V. (an acronym that stands for Learning Uncle Vincent), is a feature film that centers on a day in the life of William “Woody” Watson (played by newcomer Michael Rainey Jr), a shy and timid 13-year old in search of a family and a better life, who looks to his Uncle Vincent, an ex-con, played by Common, hoping to find the father figure he’s never had, and has always wanted.

The film, directed by Sheldon Candis (a graduate of the USC School of Cinematic Arts), takes place over the course of 1 single day.

Joining Common (who is also acting as one of the producers on the project) is an all-star cast of mostly seasoned actors in Dennis Haysbert, Danny Glover , Charles S. Dutton, Lonette McKee, Megan Good, Michael K. Williams, Russell Hornsby, and Tracey Heggins.

“DEATH AT A FUNERAL” DAMN FUNNY!!!

Morgan excels…Lawrence and Rock, not so much.

After catching Neil LaBrute’s remake of a British film, Death At A Funeral, I must say it was very comical and surprisingly entertaining!! The film, which features comic legends Chris Rock and Martin Lawrence, gets fantastic performances from Tracy Morgan and James Marsden…both of whom make the film a comedic success! (Good thing, too because Martin and Rock were waaaay less than legendary in the film!!)

James Marsden outdoes (and undresses) himself as “Oscar”

Danny Glover, who plays the wheel chair-ridden Uncle Russell, was quite funny as well.
