Movie Reviews and Previews Keke, SZA, and Issa’s one big day (movie) Yesterday, Sony Pictures dropped the trailer for a new movie called One of Them Days, produced by Issa Rae and starring SZA and Keke Palmer.

Oscars 2024 Far, Far Away From A Barbie World By now, the sting of the snub is gone away – nobody, not one person or hopeful 8 year old child, believed the throwaway ‘Best Picture’ nomination for Barbie was going to be anything more than a cute clip montage.

Gorgessity Michaela, Marisa, and Issa: Weekend Fashion Highlights We haven’t seen too much of Michaela Coel this year so the sight of her on a red carpet is always welcome.
