THE CANDYMAN MOVIE TRAILER

Written and directed by Bernard Rose, the original Candyman film was released in 1992. Based on a short story, “The Forbidden” by Clive Barker, the film began by following the character of Helen Lyle (Virginia Madsen). A graduate student in sociology, Helen conducts work on urban legends, which leads her down the trail of Candyman – the son of a slave who was murdered in the 19th century. She soon fears that the legend of Candyman might be real. Two sequels followed and, in the years since it released, the film has been viewed as a modern horror classic.

All American

MICHAEL EVANS BEHLING is fresh, super talented and so dope. He stars as hot shot quarterback striving for the attention of his father Billy Baker, played by Taye Diggs. Michael’s character Jordan Baker gets into deep ‘dish in season 2–almost fathering a child, excessive drinking, all while remaining star football team.
At center point of this series are several conversations taking place within the story line, not really feeling black or white, labels, Los Angeles culture and familial deceit. The series seamlessly navigates through both worlds of Crenshaw and Beverly Hills. One of strife, instability and the latter filled with privilege, financial support and a full family structure. “All American” airs on the CW Network Monday’s at 8:00pm.
