Hello, everyone! I’m happy to report that I traveled back to my childhood today for two hours and have safely returned to adulthood in one piece!
I admit that I was a bit nervous going into this live-action version of Beauty & the Beast because it was always my favorite Disney movie. Not to mention the back and forth chatter on whether or not Emma Watson could pull off the role of Belle AND the “news” that Josh Gad’s character, LeFou, was homosexual (SIDE NOTE: Kudos for including this aspect in the film tastefully. Everyone should’ve known that LeFou was homosexual in the original, but I’m glad the folks who created this live-action update didn’t leave it out to please those who are afraid of PEOPLE based on sexual preference.)
With that being said, I thought this version of the film was fantastic! It stayed true to it’s original form, save for a few minor updates: feminism and diversity! There were also a few new songs included here that explained a bit more of the connection between Belle and the Beast. Some viewers were not fans of Emma Watson’s singing, but I thought she did a great job! It’s not written anywhere that every singing actress has to sound like Adele, but I thought Watson did a great job and really lived up to the expectations.
The visual quality here was stunning as well. In some parts the visual effects were lacking just a tiny bit, but the rest of the movie made up for what it lacked in certain areas. It was such a colorful, lively film that shows a strong-minded young woman making her own choices and not sitting around waiting for things to happen to her. Belle is kind, well-read and respectful to all around her…which is something that we should all be teaching our daughters, our nieces and granddaughters. Never fear, young boys can also learn a thing or two from this version of the film. The prince was spoiled and shallow, taught to be cold-hearted from his father at a young age and is cursed into “beast mode” until he learns a lesson in humility.
So take a chance on this film and take your family on a trip down memory lane!
Genre: Family, Fantasy, Musical Length: 2 h 9 min Rating: PG Director: Bill Condon Writers: Stephen Chbosky, Evan Spiliotopoulos Cast: Emma Watson, Dan Stevens, Luke Evans, Josh Gad, Kevin Kline, Hattie Morahan, Ewan McGregor, Ian McKellen, Emma Thompson, Nathan Mack, Audra McDonald, Stanley Tucci, Gugu Mbatha-Raw

“Art is the one tool we have against the true horrors of the world. I hope that GET OUT is an inclusive experience that inspires people to just talk.”
– Jordan Peele
In Universal Pictures’ “Get Out,” a speculative thriller from Blumhouse (producers of The Visit, Insidious series and The Gift) and the mind of Jordan Peele, when a young African-American man visits his white girlfriend’s family estate, he becomes ensnared in a more sinister real reason for the invitation.

Now that Chris (Daniel Kaluuya, Sicario) and his girlfriend, Rose (Allison Williams, Girls), have reached the meet-the-parents milestone of dating, she invites him for a weekend getaway upstate with Missy (Catherine Keener, Captain Phillips) and Dean (Bradley Whitford, The Cabin in the Woods).
At first, Chris reads the family’s overly accommodating behavior as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter’s interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he could have never imagined.
Equal parts gripping thriller and provocative commentary, Get Out is written and directed by Peele (Key and Peele) and produced by Blumhouse’s Jason Blum, as well as Sean McKittrick (Donnie Darko, Bad Words), Edward H. Hamm Jr. (Bad Words) and Peele. The film also stars Caleb Landry Jones (X-Men series), Stephen Root (No Country for Old Men), Milton “Lil Rel” Howery (The Carmichael Show), Betty Gabriel (The Purge: Election Year), Marcus Henderson (Pete’s Dragon) and Lakeith Stanfield (Straight Outta Compton).

LOGO DOCUMENTARY FILMS SERÁ EL PRIMERO EN TELEVISAR “STRIKE A POSE”, UN DOCUMENTAL QUE CELEBRA EL 25to ANIVERSARIO DEL FAMOSO TOUR DE MADONNA TITULADO “BLOND AMBITION”
El Documental Explora las Vidas de Sus Siete Bailarines, quienes le Mostraron al Mundo Cómo Encontrar el Coraje para “Expresarse tal y como Son”
El Film Debutará en Logo el Jueves, 6 de Abril a las 9pm ET/PT
Poco después de revelar que Lady Gaga aparecerá en el programa “RuPaul’s Drag Race” en Logo, la cadena anunció hoy que el primer documental de Logo Documentary Films este año será “Strike a Pose”, cuyo debut en Logo será el jueves, 6 de abril a las 9pm ET/PT. La película sigue los pasos de siete jóvenes bailarines – seis homosexuales y un heterosexual – que forman parte del polémico tour de Madonna titulado Blond Ambition y del posterior documental “Truth or Dare”. Sin proponérselo, los jóvenes acaban convirtiéndose en iconos de los derechos de los homosexuales y de la libertad sexual. Veinticinco años después, los bailarines revelan la verdad sobre sus vidas durante y después de la gira, y hablan de la importancia de haberse embarcado en una travesía conmovedora y repleta de coraje para, según canta Madonna, “Expresarse tal y como son”. Aclamado por la crítica, el documental de los cineastas Ester Gould y Reijer Zwaan y de Logo Documentary Films, ganador de Emmys, fue elegido oficialmente para participar en los festivales de cine de Tribeca 2016, Berlín y Hot Docs.
“Estos siete bailarines del tour de Blond Ambition inspiraron a toda una generación. Desde los pasillos de los salones de baile al escenario principal, su atrevida manera de expresarse a sí mismos fue una verdadera inspiración para la cultura pop”, dijo Taj Paxton, vicepresidente de Logo Documentary Films. “Estamos orgullosos de mostrar a los hombres detrás de la mujer y alentar a la próxima generación de líderes y creadores de tendencias de la comunidad LGBTQ”.
Conoce a los bailarines:
Oliver Crumes III – Nació y creció en los proyectos de vivienda pública de Nueva Orleans. Admite que al unirse por primera vez al elenco era homófobo, y agradece a Madonna y a otros bailarines que le abrieran el corazón.
Carlton Wilborn – En “Truth or Dare”, Carlton se convirtió en la personificación del orgullo a través de la expresión de sí mismo – riéndose a carcajadas, bailando salvajemente y saltando desnudo en la cama de Madonna. Pero a cuestas con un gran secreto, su personalidad extrovertida era más una pose que verdadera confianza.
Luis Camacho – En la década de los 80, Luis y su pareja de baile, José Gutiérrez, se dedicaban a posar por las salas de baile de Harlem – la escena gay y drag donde los hombres compiten entre ellos para demostrar su destreza bailando, su estilo y su presencia sobre una pasarela. José y él le enseñaron a Madonna cómo zarandearse como una modelo y protagonizaron junto a ella el famoso número “Like a Virigin” durante la gira de esta.
Salim “Slam” Gauwloos – Nacido en un pequeño pueblo flamenco y de padres belgamarroquíes, Salim dejó a todos helados en “Truth or Dare” al besar a su compañero de baile Gabriel Trupin – el primer beso gay en exhibirse en una película de peso. Hasta hace poco, Salim no era conciente de lo mucho que el tour y “Truth or Dare” representan para la gente en todo el mundo: “¡Hemos ayudado a que el mundo salga del armario!”
Kevin Stea – Cuando Madonna expulsó del tour a uno de sus bailarines, Kevin recibió una invitación para unirse al conjunto como bailarín y capitán de danza. Para Kevin, el tour le permitió alcanzar su madurez y consagrarse. Kevin ha trabajado con estrellas como Prince, Beyoncé, Michael Jackson, Cher, David Bowie y Lady Gaga.
Gabriel Trupin – Gabriel, el bailarín más introvertido y callado de la formación, murió en San Francisco en 1995 a los 26 años, tras perder una batalla silenciosa con el SIDA. Gabriel mantuvo en secreto su enfermedad hasta que ya no pudo ocultársela a su madre y a sus parientes más cercanos. Cuando Gabriel se enteró de que la famosa escena del beso francés con Slam iba a ser parte de “Truth or Dare”, le suplicó a Madonna que no la usara. Pero ella acabó utilizándola y Gabriel la demandó por haber divulgado su homosexualidad públicamente sin su consentimiento. Las dos partes alcanzaron un acuerdo extrajudicial.
José Gutiérrez – José continuó trabajando con Madonna durante años después del Blond Ambition Tour y apareció en el vídeo “Justify My Love”. José y Luis coreografiaron el vídeo “Vogue”, que fue nominado a un premio MTV. José sigue siendo una conocida figura de la escena ‘vogue’ y se la enseña a la juventud LGBT de Nueva York y de todo el mundo. Su contribución más reciente fue a la serie “The Get Down” de Baz Luhrmann.
Logo Documentary Films adquirió los derechos televisivos del film después del Festival de Cine de Tribeca. El lanzamiento de la película tuvo lugar a principios de este año. Pamela Post y Taj Paxton supervisan el debut televisivo de la película como parte de la división de documentales de Logo.
