Charlize Theron's Real, Raw Take on Motherhood Gives Tully Heart

Charlize Theron has never been one of those starlets who stayed  away from a part because it wasn't glamorous.

Gabrielle Union Is Ultimate Mama Bear in Breaking In!

Gabrielle Union Is Ultimate Mama Bear in Breaking In!

What I mostly love about Breaking In is that Shaun Russell never appears as a victim.  She's in control every second under the most stressful of circumstances.  She never wavers in her determination to protect and keep her family safe. Produced by Universal Pictures Breaking In opened Mother's Day weekend and is in theaters now!!!

In a world where gender equality remains a critical issue, this controversial film, doesn't set out to challenge the Catholic Church doctrine, but asks a very modern question... Should women be allowed into seminaries to study for the priesthood? "Created Equal is a film that gives you a voyeur experience into the stained glass ceiling that exists in the Catholic Church and asks the question about women being allowed into seminaries without actually taking sides," shares Bill Duke. "We are so excited that the American Black Film Festival has officially selected our film as a world premiere and look forward to the conversation that is created around this highly debated topic."
