I came across this CD that some people may like. It’s a compilation CD of various artists that’s called “Revenge of the B-Boy : Episode 2 (Attack of the toyz)”. Apparently this is the second CD in the series. I’ve never heard of it, but hey, you never know. The album features 12 newly recorded, old-school pop-locking grooves from an assortment of international producers and DJ’s from Switzerland, the U.K., Australia and the US. With tracks designed to inspire the dancer in everyone. Get the free CD.

I came across this book that parents or teachers may enjoy for their students or children. The book is called “Tailey Whaley”. It was written to help teach tolerance and understanding and discourage children from bullying and encourage kindness toward children who get picked on. You can get a free version of the whole book online at TaileyWhaley.com or WhaleBook.com. The book is also available in stores and on Amazon.com.

I’m not a fan of the real Royal family and I could really care less about the Queen (sorry), but this is a movie I wouldn’t mind seeing if only for Helen Mirren’s performance. She’s such an amazing actress and she’s wonderful to watch. Her performance and transformation really are astounding. If you don’t see this movie, definitely check out something else that Helen is in.

The Queen is an intimate behind the scenes glimpse at the interaction between HM Elizabeth II and Prime Minister Tony Blair during their struggle, following the death of Diana, to reach a compromise between what was a private tragedy for the Royal family and the public’s demand for an overt display of mourning.

One of the best movies of the year, Dreamgirls, has been released on DVD as of May 01, 2007. This is a really great movie that I’m sure you’ll enjoy. It’s really worth seeing if you love music. I’m a huge fan of musicals and movies based on singers or about singers so you know I love this movie. Jennifer Hudson gives an amazing performance in this movie and I’m sure you’ll love it, so go out and rent or buy it this weekend!

Based on the 1981 Broadway musical comes Dreamgirls, a story of greed, tough hate, and romance. Three young women Deena Jones (Beyonce Knowles), Effie White (Jennifer Hudson), and Lorrell Robinson (Anika Noni Rose) desire to become pop stars and get their wish when they’re picked to be backup singers for the legendary James “Thunder” Early (Eddie Murphy). Then they’re set free for leads, but Curtis Taylor (Jamie Foxx) and Effie’s brother C.C. (Keith Robinson) decide for Deena to be lead which upsets Effie. This movie contains both original Broadway and new songs and it’s one movie that the whole family will enjoy!
