By Keesha B. Having read and reviewed the book “Think Like a Man” I wasn’t sure about seeing the movie. Admittedly, I was having a hard time getting over the whole “Steve Harvey as counselor” bit. But after hearing my parent’s review of the movie I decided to grab a girlfriend of mine, Vyne Reader Gigi, and check it out for myself. Before we could get in to the theater, drama had already ensued. Between the parking lot and the [...]

The Vyne Movie Review: Ate, Prayed, Loved It!
Last Saturday I decided to get some r&r with my sister-friend Gigi. What better way to do that than over dinner and a movie? Since “Eat, Pray, Love” was the talk of the weekend it was only fitting that we partake of some fab cuisine before checking out the movie, which is exactly what we did. If you’ve never eaten at Seasons 52 before, take my word for it, the food is fantastic. The menu includes yummy seasonal food and [...]

The Vyne Movie Review: SATC2
After a relaxing afternoon in NYC, partaking of tea and light Japanese fare at Franchia followed by creamy all-natural yogurt from Red Mango, we decided to check out Sex and the City 2. While this was Keesha’s second time seeing the film, it was Kailei’s first. So in the spirit of Siskel and Ebert, we thought we’d share our separate reviews of the films. Keesha’s Review Generally, sequels fall way short of the original. So I went into this film [...]

The Vyne Movie Review: Just Wright
It seems like ever since the late nineties, we’ve all been craving for that next great romantic love story to knock us off our feet the way Love Jones and Love & Basketball did. About a week ago I went to see “Just Wright” with Vyne contributor Gigi of the Yummy Librarian. While neither of us said it, we were both secretly hoping to be swept away by loving, sappy one-liners weaved throughout a hopelessly romantic plot. So we grabbed [...]

The Vyne Movie Review: TP’s “Why Did I Get Married Too?”
By Keesha Boyd It never fails. Every time someone tells me how great a movie is going to be I go into it with a whole lot of expectations. Sometimes those expectations are met or exceeded and other times…well…not so much. In this case, I have to say while I didn’t hate it…I wasn’t really loving it either. I’ll give credit to the cast, particularly Janet Jackson and Jill Scott for really stepping up the dramatic acting this time around. [...]

The Princess & The Frog: A Commentary on SBFs
Last weekend, me and a good girlfriend decided to indulge the “little girl” in ourselves by going to see “The Princess and the Frog”. We settled in with our popcorn and store bought vitamin waters, ready to share a few giggles over a typical Disney storyline. Much to our surprise we were treated to way more than just a few giggles. I can’t count how many times throughout the film we looked over at each other, stunned to see that [...]

The VW Best Movie Rentals
Have you ever found yourself working hard during the week and making it to the weekend only to find that you have an equally demanding weekend schedule? We have! So every now and then we like to partake in a little “mindless” activity to unwind from the week. One way to do this is by curling up on the couch and watching a great movie. We have so many favs so here are just a few dramas and romantic comedies that we [...]

Go See: Away We Go
Went to see this last weekend and loved it! This cleverly funny movie about a couple in their 30s expecting their first child stars the multi-talented Maya Rudolph (formerly of SNL , HBO’s The Black List v2). Though quirky in a Juno sort of way, this film is not only “laugh out loud” funny but also tugs at the heart strings. It’s an anytime movie that we may not take our mothers to, but it’s great for a night out [...]
