Celebrate the Film Music of
Spike Lee and Terence Blanchard

He may have lost the battle with TNN, but his name speaks volumes and so does his music. Through the years that he’s directed films, the music that Director Spike Lee has incorporated in them serves as secondary characters that at times go unnoticed. Well, if you happen to be Chicago (July 26th) or Los Angeles (July 30th), please try to catch the last 2 remaining concerts of The Film Music of Spike Lee and Terence Blanchard, which is being presented by his favorite composer Terence Blanchard, with some songs sung by some talented artists, click here.

Nominated for an Oscar last year for best foreign film and coming out now is Mondays in the Sun, a heartfelt story about a group of guys whose friendship gives each a peace of mind while still struggling to find work during hard times.

Bad Boys II (in Film)
Bad Boys II is action-packed and filled with excitement. Besides the reunion of Smith & Lawrence, who bring in their “A” game, the
car chase scenes alone are worth the price of admission.

Pirates of the Caribbean (in Film)
Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl has enough wit, action scenes, horror moments, and dazzling special effects and fight scenes that would place it amongst the best Pirate films ever. Not to mention one of funniest performances given by Johnny Depp.
