Thoughts on "Comedy Warriors: Healing through humor"

Stopping in the blog about a recent movie review I did for a film called Comedy Warriors: Healing through humor. I reviewed the film right before the Fourth of July holiday which was great timing for the movie. The film's theme is perfect for Veteran's Day, Memorial Days and other Patriotic Holidays. Also perfect if you want to get a glimpse on the lives of wounded warriors.

Here is the trailer for the movie...

It is a documentary. The movie did share some of the humor but it left me wanting to catch these warriors' full comedy set!

Here is a link you can find out more about the project. The film is definitely worth checking out!

"You Belong to Me" Ruby McCollum and Live Oak

It is funny how reviewing music, movies or theatre how a show can connect with you. My latest movie review was set in Live Oak, Florida. I've past through Live Oak several times when I visit my parents in Jacksonville. It is a long and boring drive across all of Northern Florida. I also spent a few days there when I covered the 2011 Wanee Festival. A typical Southern small town. Not much to it. The town appeared old to me and certainly it had some history.

A picture I took of the river which is featured in the film...

I reviewed an excellent documentary about a famous murder that happened in the 1950's in Live Oak called You Belong to Me: Sex, Race and Murder in the South. You can read my review here.

Here is a trailer for the film:

Like I said I imagined the town had history but I never imagined this. However, I did think it was thought provoking considering recent race issues.

Well I will be back soon with another post.
