From IW: All fairly mediocre returns for Easter weekend. There is always at least one movie on this list that I don't know anything about, and couldn't care less to find out. This week it is "Under The Same Moon". What is that?
Black Cinema releases seem to always debut in a solid second place. Did anyone see "Meet The Browns" or are you waiting for "Hustle Man" at the local barber/beauty shop?
NOTE-FOR TONITE 3/24! This is for my Atlian fam---this film stars Jazsmin Lewis, who I talked about the other day, and Carl Gilliard, who I did a "7 Questions" interview with on this blog:
