New Release - Red Tails (2012)
As much as I love film, there have been very few times where
I’ve actually really anticipated the opening of a new movie. This year marks the arrival of probably the most
anticipated film in the history of me; THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. But before the month of July can grace us
with its presence, RED TAILS managed to spark my interest from the very first
time I viewed its trailer last year.
STAR WARS baby-maker and executive producer George Lucas lends his
talents to this rather inspirational story about the Tuskegee airmen, their
missions and the adversity they were faced with to earn and succeed in those
missions.
Who else to lead a cast of predominantly African-American
acting talent than Terrence Howard who to me sometimes looks, from the way he
delivers his lines and throws his “coolness” into his parts, like he is vying
for the title of ‘the next Denzel Washington’.
He plays Colonel A.J. Bullard who heads the Tuskegee airmen program and
fights and scraps to get his men a mission worth bragging about. After finding themselves doing nothing but “killing
traffic” after a slew of assignments blowing up supply trucks and military trains,
they finally receive their chance.
