"You lying! You ain't never met Martin Luther the King!"
How ironic that I hung out today with the man who directed the movie with that iconic line! Yes, this is me and one of my absolute favorite directors, @johnlandisofficial THE John Landis! (Animal House, Blues Brothers, Trading Places, Coming To America,the THRILLER music video... just to name a few!)
HAPPY MLK DAY!!!

Happy 5 year anniversary to Jingle Jangle and Happy 17th Birthday to the brilliant and beautiful heartbeat of the film, the one and only @madalenmills

Memories from our Christmas classic Jingle Jangle:A Christmas Journey! It was incredible doing this reimagining of the song This Day from our movie with @usher and @kianalede ! When I tell you Usher gave us so many gems to play with and I made sure all of them were in the song with our fabulous music producer @harveymasonjr !! This is just a piece of it. Go listen to the whole song on @spotify and listen to all the nuances in the song. It’s a masterpiece in my book. I still sometimes go listen to Usher’s vocals a cappella because they still give me chills. Enjoy Jingle Jangle with your family this holiday season and many years to come. It’s All Possible!
Sad to hear of the tragic passing of entertainment icon Rob Reiner and his wife, Michelle.
Had the pleasure of speaking with Mr. Reiner when I jokingly insisted that he owed me lunch because his film Bucket List beat my film First Sunday by 500k to become the #1 Movie in America. Or, I said, "Maybe I owe you lunch for all your work as an actor, director and producer (All In The Family, When Harry Met Sally, A Few Good Men, Misery, Shawshank Redemption, Seinfeld) that inspired me." He paused for a moment and then with his signature full bodied laugh replied, "Yeah, I think you owe me lunch."
RIP Sir. Thank you for a life well lived and the amazing body of work that will live forever. Prayers to your family. 🙏🏾
