The international trailer for the upcoming ensemble comedy Grown Ups has been released, and it’s slightly better than the domestic version. The film’s main characters are mostly played by “Saturday Night Live” alumni, with the exception of Kevin James. The latest trailer gives us some new footage, and highlights some of the wives in the film that includes Salma Hayek.
Somehow this new comedy managed to fly under my radar. Chris Rock and Martin Lawrence have teamed up to star in a remake of Death at a Funeral. The original film came out a couple of years ago and was directed by Frank Oz, and for some odd reason Rock and a group of his friends thought it would be a good idea to redo it.

Tonight on NBC, Merry Madagascar will air as a new Christmas special for the peacock network. A few months ago, word had spread that the popular animated film would make the jump to network television and it’s finally here. All the usual suspects from the cast will return with a brand new story to tell.
A teaser trailer has finally been released for the ensemble comedy Grown Ups, which mostly features Saturday Night Live alumni except for one. And we’re not referring to the Will Ferrell era of SNL, we’re talking the bad boy years that featured Adam Sandler, David Spade, Chris Rock, and Rob Schneider. All of them will be on the big screen together along with Paul Blart Mall Cop, Kevin James.

Chris Rock has a new documentary, titled Good Hair, coming out on Friday, and can you take a guess of what it’s about… Hair! A better description is Chris Rock’s journey across the United States and into India, to shine a light on all the things black women are willing to do to their hair to get it to look the way they want it. Why are women spending everything they have to have what they think of is “good hair?” From weaves to relaxing and the fear of wearing it natural, Rock takes us for a ride leaving us with the real question: Is his movie about hair is any good?
Check out the players, the plot, the good, and the bad…
Recently, we had the opportunity to talk to Chris Rock and Nia Long about weaves, wigs, and perms for the new documentary, Good Hair. Rock was inspired to make the film after his daughter asked him why she didn’t have good hair. In her case, she was referring to the European look of straight long tresses, but is that everyone’s ideal? The film features very candid interviews with many African American actresses, including Long and Raven Symone, who talk about the ins-and-outs of their hair.
Here, Chris and Nia talk about the surprising facts they found out about the hair industry, and some of the raw material that didn’t make the theatrical cut.
Check out what they had to say…
I have been itching for this film to come to conventional theaters. Actor/comedian, now documentary filmmaker Chris Rock has decided to place focus on an aspect of the African American community that many don’t talk about, their hair. In his latest film Good Hair, Rock decides to take a refreshing look at the billion dollar Black hair industry and how it effects everyone from actors and politicians to your average Joe. As an African American myself I’m excited to see his spin on such a hot topic!

Last month we reported on an untitled SNL infused comedy that features a who’s who of comedic actors. As of today that roster just got a whole lot prettier. According to Variety, Academy Award nominated actress Salma Hayek has signed on to co-star in the film. Hayek will join Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, David Spade, Kevin James and Rob Schneider in the feature that will be directed by Dennis Dugan. As if there wasn’t already enough comedic talent in this film, two more Saturday Night Live veterans have joined the cast as well.
