Nappily Ever After by Trisha R. Thomas My rating: 2 of 5 stars Nappily Ever After has been on my TBR list for over ten years, spanning back to my days of working at Borders Bookstore. There were talks of then “It Girl” Halle Berry adapting it into a film. For whatever reason, not only … More Sherring’s Goodreads: Nappily Ever After
I did it. I finally did it. Why did I do it to myself? Possibly because Halloween was this week. I watched Coco. Last night, after a perfectly fine Friday, and good week for that matter, I scrolled through Netflix and chose Coco. I wanted to end the day by watching a movie, not a … More Sherring’s Goodwatch: Coco
#BlackLoveBooks Challenge Day 8: #WCW Three words: Waiting. To. Exhale. That was my introduction to Terry McMillan. I loved the book, the movie, and the soundtrack. I had absolutely no business reading McMillan’s novel about four grown women’s romantic issues while I was just a high school student. Thank goodness my father never monitored my … More #BlackLoveBooks Challenge Day 8: #WCW
Too bad I don’t have Amazon Prime Video. If I did, I’d watch Z: The Beginning of Everything when the series airs Friday, January 27, 2017. The trailer has been airing on TV, but I paid it no mind. I don’t subscribe to the streaming service, but Wednesday, through my membership with the New York … More Sherring’s Goodwatch: Z: The Beginning of Everything
My calendar has been marked with the release date of When the Bough Breaks for months. After watching a version of the trailer on Facebook for the first time, September 9, 2016, could not come quickly enough. From the creepy, slowed down remake of Brandy and Monica’s 1998 hit song The Boys is Mine to a … More Sherring’s Goodwatch: Morris Chestnut
So the Oscars are over. Unlike past years, it wasn’t pure torture to watch. This is coming from someone who likes (used to love) to watch award shows. Hello, ALMA, GLAAD and Country Music Awards. They are usually a chance to see once in a lifetime collaborations, performances and tributes. Despite the #OscarsSoWhite controversy and … More #ChrisRockSoFunny
Last night the first installment of the mini-series The People V. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story aired on FX. Not wanting to sit through commercial breaks, I set my DVR and started watching after it had been on for about half an hour. I passed time painting my nails while talking on the phone with … More Goodwatch: The People V. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story
Two of my favorite shows attacked the issue of racism in the workplace last week. (The post is late because I watched the DVR recordings only recently.) While I wasn’t surprised to see it addressed on BET’s Being Mary Jane starring Gabrielle Union, I was pleasantly surprised to see it unfurl on ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy, … More It’s Not Your Thing
To call myself a (former) fan of Donald Trump would be an overstatement. Long before I knew he was a real estate mogul, and way before he decided to run for president, I simply knew him as a divorced millionaire. As a follower of pop culture since a young age, I watch the entertainment news … More Why I Will Watch Trump Host SNL
If the 2014 Sochi Olympics and I had been dating, I would’ve been a bad girlfriend. My confession would’ve been “I like you a lot, but I’m not in love with you.” My lack of commitment to the winter games led to no shows, few dates and when I did show up, divided attention. Days … More I like you a lot, but I’m not in love with you
