bf_key_art_web2.jpg

Written by Rosita Torres

In Brooklyn New York, being a cop ain’t easy.  Director Antoine Fuqua attempts to tell the story of three police officers working for one of the toughest cities in the U.S. as they all deal with the hardships that the drug scene has created in Brooklyn.  With a talented cast to support, Fuqua gives insight to the alleged police brutality displayed throughout the film.


Brooklyn’s Finest follows officer Eddie Dugan played by Richard Gere, undercover Detective Clarence “Tango” Butler played by Don Cheadle, and Detective Salvatore “Sal” Procida portrayed by actor Ethan Hawke.  Each character is struggling to perform the job that they always dreamed of having while trying to balance their personal lives and maintain their sanity all at the same time.  This story takes place during a hot summer week in Brooklyn following each character separately only to briefly cross paths in unfortunate situations.

Monique and Kathryn Bigelow Take Home Big Wins At The Oscars

Kathryn Bigelow and her Best Director win for “The Hurt Locker” made Oscar history last night as the first film ever to grant an Oscar to a female director who would then go on to win Best Picture. Bigelow, who seemed both shocked and overwhelmed by her win, will also have the bragging rights that not only did she beat out her ex-husband, “Avatar” director James Cameron; she beat out the top-grossing movie ever. She can also say that she triumphed over nine other films, the first film to do since 1943.



Comedian/actress Mo’Nique may not have made history as the Best Supporting Actress for “Precious,” but she referenced it in her acceptance speech.

Heading into her junior season as the undisputed centerpiece of the Ohio State women’s basketball team, center Jantel Lavender sensed the Buckeyes were adding even more pieces to a championship team.



“I think Tayler (Hill) brings so much to the table and Amber (Stokes) with her speed,” Lavender said excitedly at the Big Ten’s preseason media conference in Chicago last October. “I think Sarah (Schulze) being able to hit the trail three. It’s just a whole lot of looks that we have. We have Andrea Walker who can post up and block shots well. So it’s just a lot of different things that we can throw at people.”
