Image Credit: Amazon.com Clueless is one of my all-time favorite movies. When I was a teenager, I used to watch Clueless every third weekend. The other two movies constantly in rotation were Waiting to Exhale and Bad Boys. There's so much to love about this movie. It captured the vernacular of teenagers at the time perfectly. For those that… Continue reading #Flashback Friday – Clueless
3 Movies To Watch This Weekend

#Flashback Friday – 90210

My #WCW – Regina King
Image credit: Amazon.com I remember Regina King in her first role on the sitcom, 227. There weren't a lot of minority families on TV in the 1980's and the Jenkins were one of my favorites. (My absolute favorite TV family is the Hubbards on All My Children.) Most of my favorite 227 episodes focused on Brenda (Regina King), including… Continue reading My #WCW – Regina King
