VIDEO : 'Talk To Me' - Trailer No. 2
A story about an ex-con who becomes a popular radio talk show host and community activist in Washington D.C during the 1960's.
You may have heard this before, but before there was HDTV, there was just regular TV, kind of pixilated. Before there was cable and satellite TV, there was just regular broadcast TV, received -- for free -- via an antenna. Before there were remote...
Some 300 movies came out in 2007, and we managed to see almost every one that mattered (sorry, 'Who's Your Caddy?'). Hollywood had a good year, despite all those three-quel let-downs. We battled like Spartans (but with fewer casualties) to hammer out this...
I've always been drawn to radio on the big screen. It seems antithetical -- a sound format being so perfect for a medium full of sound and imagery. Video killed the radio star ... right? Nevertheless, radio leads to wonderfully aural expression that gives...
Iron Man opens this week, and thus the summer movie season has officially arrived. I love a good summer movie as much a the next guy, but this morning I found myself looking back at some of the little films that cropped up during the summer; some of them...

Don Cheadle, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Cedric the Entertainer, Taraji P. Henson and Martin Sheen were extraordinary in this movie. I laughed, cried and was simply amazed at the history of the radio station an... d the educational aspects of this awesome movie. Don Cheadle can invade my movie theatre any day with movies like this one. The best thing is that everyone who was fortunate enough to see it said they LOVED it and would see it two or three more times...I was one of those people. The most unfortunate thing was that I took my 14 year old a week later to see the movie (my second time) and was surprised to find out that it was no longer playing in Columbus, Ohio. After only one week running. I don't get it....WHY? Why give such a good and educational movie such a short run. The movie Managers missed it on this one...I hope you bring it back before it goes to DVD...I give this movie 5 Stars! Full Review
This movie was great, it did exactly what it set out to do-make me laugh and cry, think and re-think but most of all remember why I love the men that I love (Dr.King, Ali, James Brown, John and Bobby ... Kennedy) so much form the erra in which I grew up. I am so glad that I got a chance to meet Mr. Peetey Green-You Go Boy and Don YOU GO and GET YOUR AWARD.Loved this movie and it's actors 5 stars.. Full Review
One of the best this year. Oscar award should go to Don Cheadle.This movie is playing only in one theater in Palm Beach County and one in Broward County in Fla.WHY????????????????
the movie was shown in only one theater and they only kept the movie in the theater for a few days. I'm sorry I did not get a chance to see this movie in the theater. I guess that is to be expected in... a small country town like Shelby and Gastonia, North Carolina Full Review
This movie makes you laugh (very very funny in many parts), cry, and be inspired (very very inspiring). I was deeply touched by this movie. The acting, the screenplay was absolutely superb. Don Che... adle deserves an Academy Award for his performance. The true story of Petey Green shows that even an alcoholic ex-convict can make a difference and be loved by so many. The only complaint I have is that this movie is not showing in more theaters. Everyone should see this movie. You walk away a changed person. Full Review
