One of the issues I’ve had with the Cars movies is, they are usually slow and dragged a bit. So I didn’t expect much for Cars 3 but I liked it! Yes, there are some slow moments but once it picked up it was fun to watch, and I have a new hero/heroine in Cruz Ramirez, voiced by Cristela Alonzo.

I have to agree with many who say, Cars 3 may be the best movie in the franchise, and after listening to the new cast members along with returning favorites, you could hear their enthusiasm about the film.

In this first part of the press conference we’ll hear about their experience on the film. Now watch producer Kevin Reher, director Brian Fee, Kerry Washington (Natalie Certain), Armie Hammer (Jackson Storm), Cristela Alonzo (Cruz Ramirez), Owen Wilson (Lightning McQueen) and moderator Ray Evernham (auto racing crew chief) talk about what they brought to the Disney•Pixar movie and in part two, watch Isiah Whitlock Jr. (River Scott), Lea DeLaria (Miss Fritter), Nathan Fillion (Sterling) and Larry the Cable Guy (Mater) tell us what it means to be part of the movie franchise.

The Birth of a Nation: A Lesson in History

The Birth of a NationSoraya Machado Powell screened The Birth of a Nation, written and directed by Nate Parker. It is a far different version than D. W. Griffith’s The Birth of a Nation (originally called The Clansman) from 1915.

Here is what she had to say: “Set against the antebellum South and based on a true story and part of our American History, it is about Nat Turner, an enslaved Baptist preacher who lived on a Virginia plantation owned by Samuel Turner. With rumors of insurrection in the air, a cleric convinces Samuel that Nate should sermonize to other slaves, thereby quelling any notions of an uprising. As Nate witnesses the horrific treatment of his fellow man, he realizes that he can no longer just stand by and preach. On August 21, 1831, Turner’s quest for justice and freedom leads to a violent and historic rebellion in Southampton County.

“I highly recommend this movie. It may not be appropriate for children under 14, as it is graphic and bloody.”

The film stars Nate Parker, Armie Hammer, Penelope Ann Miller, Aja Naomi King, Aunjanue Ellis, Gabrielle Union, Dwight Henry, Colman Domingo, Tony Espinosa, Roger Guenveur Smith, and Esther Scott.
