Kerry Washington up for DJANGO UNCHAINED?

Posted on by

Another day, another bit of news coming out of the camp of Quentin Tarantino.

With Jamie Foxx all but signed for the male lead of his upcoming film DJANGO UNCHAINED, it’s looking like he’s set to cast his romantic lead, the character of Broomhilda, Django’s wife and the woman who makes him seek revenge, moving the film forward.

Variety is reporting that Kerry Washington is in the running for the role, a perfect fit for a rather important character. Now, the character itself doesn’t amount to much, as she doesn’t get much to do other than act like your run-of-the-mill damsel in distress, but it is a character that at its core is the reason the story is able to move forward in the first place. And you know what, it’s tough to think of a more interesting name to fill that role with than Kerry Washington. Continue reading →

Theatrical Review: MOTHER AND CHILD

Posted on by

Rating: 3/5

Director: Rodrigo Garcia
Cast: Naomi Watts, Annette Bening, Kerry Washington, Samuel L. Jackson, Jimmy Smits

Produced by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, MOTHER AND CHILD  follows a similar three-part asynchronous narrative structure as Inarritu's global epic BABEL. The film centers around three women (Watts, Bening and Washington) and their lives as they experience various stages of motherhood. The film is really about adoption and how that process has effected each character.

Watt's character Elizabeth is a cutthroat lawyer who, after being abandoned, becomes cut off from the emotional world entirely and even goes so far as to have her tubes tied as a way to claim ownership on being given up. She is adrift and eventually plants her flag at a new firm that Samuel L. Jackson heads, and their relationship develops into something more serious which allows Elizabeth the chance to start investing in life again. Continue reading →
