Black History Month Essay #13

My essay is about my favorite singer, India. She is best known for her lovely voice, her sense in fashion, and her fierce loyalty to her African/Indian heritage.

India was born in May of 1977. Unfortunately this was the month that Star Wars came out, so even her own parents ignored her. However, not for long as she recovered from this set back. Her natural singing talent led her to release her first album in 1994. It's titled Hi Naturally and it helped people during awkward introductions. Her career took off from there.

When not appearing in music videos with such respected people like Madonna and Ja Rule, India also had an acting career. I can't see her complete list due to the restrictions on my browser, but the list looks long. Hang on, she has appeared in a number of Sista movies, which I'm sure are the kind of movies that appeal to teen girls. She was in 8, 9, 10 before the movies lost their way. However, she returned in Sista 16 to let the series go out with dignity.

Acting was still a side job for India. In 2003 she sang for the parody film The Walking Tall, which winked at audience about how anybody could replace Joe Don Baker in an action role. Her latest hits include Get It Girl, a song about a harsh self-reminder whenever she nearly forgets her keys. Her last album was the 2006 Role Play, which I can only assume is about spikey haired emos with big swords and magic powers.

In conclusion, this essay is not about trying to lure people to my blog.

Black History Month Essay #12

This essay is about Pam "Rosie" Grier, who is best known for her work in The Thing With Two Heads. She never got to meet Ray Milland, though, due to bluescreen.

Pam was born in 1949 in Salem, North Carolina. She went to beauty contests to pay her way into college. Unfortunately for her, this all ended tragically when she moved to California and got a job at AIP.

Naturally she started appearing in horribly cheap movies. Her first film was Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, which Roger Ebert only wrote so he could criticize the writing in movies. Things got even worst as Roger Corman started giving her roles. She appeared in Women In Prison films. She was the one who held Barbie and moved her around in "The Big Doll House", a rare family WIP film. These tend not to work out so well, and "The Big Bird Cage" also flopped.

Her career reversed course and started digging upward as she appeared in Coffy. This film was a comedy about guys sitting around talking about what they like their women to be like. She next appeared in "Foxy Brown", an unusual film about a person not yet born who adopted a musical style not yet created. Despite that, she became popular enough to start appearing in a hot new genre that experts thought would last forever. "Friday Foster" and "Sheba, Baby" were both Blaxploitation films about a woman who would blow away pimps but only after she found someone to take care of her children.

Unfortunately for Pam word got out that she knew Roger Corman, and her career went into decline at the end of the seventies. For the rest of the eighties she was stuck doing appearances on sitcoms like Night Court. While this was humiliating it did help her eventually get a role in "The Original Gangstas." She appeared in other blockbuster comedies like Mars Attack!, a film made when one producer bet another one that he could make a movie that wasted as much talent as possible.

She became popular enough that a red hot Quentin Taratino decided to put her in one of his films. This movie was Pluto Nash, but the end result was so bad that it was shelved for 5 years and Quentin made a quickie apology movie for Pam called "Jackie Brown."

Nowadays you can find Pam on The L Word, one of the 26 spinoffs of Sesame Street. Her character is popular but she is unconfortable from time to time in a role where she can't blow away the druggie muppets.

Clearly Ms. Grier makes a case that you can have a long, successful career as long as you stay away from Corman and Tarantino.

Black History Month Essay #11

My essay is about LeVar Burton. He is best known for his ability to cause earthquakes, and that's about it.

LeVar was born in the good half of Germany in 1957. He was raised with his two sisters by his mom, who was an English teacher. Without any evidence I can only assume that she was hot.

In the seventies he started his career in acting. He landed a role that made him famous as Cap. Jackson in Looking for Mr. Goodbar. Unfortunately he was worried about being seen as a candy bar seller, so he took a more serious role. No would make fun of him after he landed on a show named Rebop.

He also took the role of Kunta Kinte on a television series named Roots. Roots was about a bunch of system administrators and LeVar used his codename "Toby" to hack some very secure computers. This role won him admiration among geeks and helped him land the ultra-dork role of Lt. Geordi LaForge on Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Also in the eighties LeVar was able to land a role on Reading Rainbow. His intentions were good but no kid ever read a book featured on the show. They just loved the theme song. Also, a scandal broke out when it turned out that LeVar didn't read the book about how magic rings don't exist and even if they did, random earthquakes don't really help the enviroment.

These set backs really hurt LeVar's career. He ended up directing episodes of Star Trek: Voyager and Enterprise. He even appeared on Family Guy!

Despite this, LeVar has had a very worthwhile career. His greatest accomplishment was curing his pinkeye by wearing an air filter. Truly he has taught me that I can be anything.

Black History Month Essay #10

My essay is about Vivica A Fox. She is best known as the spokeswoman for Batman and Robin, but she is still a worthwhile person.

Vivica started her acting career on such soap operas like Days of Our Lives. There is truth to the rumor that that show will outlive us all. Later she was cast for a role on an ABC show called Living Dolls. Even though she was replaced after the pilot the stench of being on a Who's The Boss? spin-off hurt her early career and forced her to guest star on several more sitcoms.

After her critically acclaimed appearances helped her to land several important roles. Kids learned a lot just from the title of Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood. Booty Call taught us about phone etiquette. And critics uniersally praised her for her stereotype-shattering character of Ms. B Haven in Batman and Robin.

You'd think people would get tired of her stuffing messages down their throats, but she continued to make these kind of movies. She starred in a instructional film about alarm clocks in Set It Off. Later Vivica appeared in the film Soul Food, a film used to promote Ecto-Cooler. She even taught us about freedom in her role as a flame-retarded superhero in Independence Day.

Tired of her moralizing, the public sent Uma Thurman to kill her. Uma was jealous of Vivica after Viv stole every scene she was in in Batman and Robin. This fight was filmed and appears in Kill Bill, Vol. 1. Despite the fact that Vivica was killed, no one ever dies in Hollywood.

She couldn't just jump back into her career, so she starred in a Canadian show appropriately called Missing. When she made her comeback she did it with style. I'm referring to, of course, her reality show Glam God.

Vivica's career is still going strong. She will appear in an upcoming movie called Junkyard Dog, costarring Duane Chapman. Another one of her films is Caught on Tape, which is still floating around on the internet. Truly she's a great actress.

There is no truth to the rumor that I phoned this essay in.

Black History Month Essay #9

My essay is about Richard Roundtree. He is best known for being the Lincoln of the seventies.

Richard was born on July 9th, 1942 in New Rochelle, NY. It was a very complicated birth. His mother later described it as giving birth to a machine. Shut up.

As a young adult Richard attended Souther Illinois University on a football scholarship. He would later give up a career in athletics because the touchdowns gave him the creeps. Instead he became a model with the Ebony Fashion Fair before joining the Negro Ensemble Company in 1967. Seriously, shut up.

He made his debut in the movie that put him on the map, "What Do You Say to a Naked Lady?" Turned out he didn't have to say a damn thing, and that made him a star. Around this time a fringe movie industry exploded, so Richard was set to star in a movie called Shaft, but the producers wimped out at the last moment. The altered film has it's defenders, including aliens. Leftover scripts led to the sequel "Shaft's Big Score!" Be quiet.

Even though the cut scenes were lost to time, it's clear that Richard's sexuality was out of control. He got the nickname Earthquake at this time. Seeking a more serious role, he made "Shaft in Africa" as an excuse to study the continent. This led to his role in "Roots." Damn right.

[Shaft In Africa is in no way endorsed by Tork's Blog. Yuck.]

Richard was so popular in the seventies that he was being paid in diamonds, and he peaked at the end of the decade with "Game for Vultures", a film about the video game "Phoenix". Unfortunately, things took a turn for the worst when the seventies ended and everybody was tired from all the sex and the subgenre went to geeks and nerds. Richard tried to bring new ideas to The Love Boat, but it didn't work out and his career suffered. Richard tried to take out his frustration on Ichon, but that didn't help. He was as stable as a maniac cop as he went from his fame to the crack house, but he never copped out.

In the nineties he made a comeback by being a head of the curve. In Se7en, he brought bad computer spelling to the masses. He got more roles, including a unique role where he was the only person in the nineties to laugh at Thomas Haden Church. The nineties were filled with remakes, and Richard made "The Original Gangstas", a new take on the Little Rascal shorts. Dig?

In the turn of the century Richard's career revival landed him in a dream role. Appearing in a Chris Kattan film was one of the highlights of Richard's career, and it helped him get a role in the remake of Shaft. The remake is about...who cares?! Isn't Samuel L Jackson the coolest?! He had a purple lightsabre, gosh darnit!

Richard Roundtree still continues to make films. One of his upcoming movies is The Bitter Earth, a PSA about what not to lick. This will be followed by Spats, which is about what not to wear.

Richard Roundtree had a great career, and this essay has shown that he was truly the great emancipator. To this day, though, very few people understand him.

Black History Month Essay #8

My essay is about Tyra Banks. She is best known for a chain of depositories named after her, which she has used to become a celebrity.

T. Banks was born in 1973 in Inglewood, California, but nothing interesting really happened when she was a kid. When Tyra went to high school, she was already hot, but that was because she was a Catholic school girl. Due to this and the fact that her mother had a career in photography, Tyra decided to pursue a career in modeling. There's probably truth to the rumor that many adult filmmakers cried when she went to Paris instead of wherever they make those films, but I'm sure they got over it fast.

In Paris Tyra quickly set records for walking on a runway and soon became famous. She appeared in several ads, and was the first to appear in both a McDonald's ad and a Victoria ad successfully. This led to the jealousy of her rival, Naomi Campbell. Naomi was never able to prove that Tyra caused her to fall offstage, but that hasn't stopped Naomi from making allies with Hugo Chavez to get her revenge.

Tyra moved into acting in the mid nineties. She appeared as a recurring character on Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Her character was so important that it's mentioned on a wikipedia page! Due to roles like this she went on to appear in movies. Higher Learning was her first big role but she began to get nervous when she learned that Michael Rapaport had connections to Naomi Campbell.

Tyra's next movie was the cynical satire called Love Stinks. This movie deeply affected T., so her brief stint as for grabby Bob Barker's Beauties in understandable. She bounced back, however, and taught Piper Perabo the ropes about bartending in Coyote Ugly. She also had a brief appearance in the then ultimate show about love, Felicity.

With all these sucesses under her belt, she got a show on UPN. Her critically acclaimed America's Next Top Model was a hit on a network already famous for wrestling and scifi shows. In this reality show, aspiring models are dropped off in Paris and they have to fend for their lives against arsonists. They probably vote each other off at some poin. This show, as of this writing, is in it's tenth iteration. There's no truth to the rumor that Tyra has made any deals with any demons, which was proven when her video Shake Ya Body bombed.

While producing ANTM Tyra also has a successful talk show. Her show's slogan is "Every woman has a story...and it happened to Tyra too." As of this writing, Tyra's website has information about transgendered children. Not that I'm saying anything. Some see Tyra as the next Oprah Winfrey, which explains that long kiss they had at the Talk Show Host Award Ceremony.

Tyra Banks has had an interesting career. I believe that I've shown that we will one day see her continue to build her CW empire so she can finally crush Naomi.

Black History Month Essay #7

My essay is about Laurence Tureaud, but it's Mr. T to you. He is best known for helping people to save money while calling collect, but he is also well known for his infinite compassion.

Mr T was born in Chicago, Illinois. He lived in the rough part of the city so he bulked up and played football, he wrestled, and he studied martial arts. Before he went to serve in the army, he tried out for the Packers, but fate denied him from becoming the coolest NFL player ever.

After returning from his job as a military officer, Laurence rejected his slave name and became a bouncer. He used this opportunity to express his views on gold standard by wearing various chains around his neck.

He was a bouncer for various stars, and he protected all of them well, except for Sylvester Stallone. Their fall-out was brutal and well documented in a feature film. (There is no truth to the smear that Mr. T suckered punched Alf. The details about his meeting with Gary Coleman are still sketchy.)

After this Mr. T's starred in D.C. Cab, a political thriller about the assassination attempt on Reagan. But Mr. T wasn't just a serious actor. He also represented his country at the first Wrestlemania. He and Hulk Hogan triumphed to win the belt from the Russians, and this was a great blow against the crumbling USSR.

Around this time Mr. T was training a diverse group of gymnasts. They had several adventures and the footage of this was rotoscoped for Saturday mornings. The secret of that show was that Mr. T wrestled a different alligator each week. Despite this, Mr. T still found time to star in his most famous role of the decade. That, of course, is as himself in his motivational video, "Be Somebody or Be Somebody's Fool!"

Impressed producers cast him in The A-Team, wear he starred as B.A. Barracus. B.A. referred to his character's degree, because Mr. T was always encouraging kids to get an education. He also expressed his wise views on the show about airplane security.

At the end of the eighties Mr. T was now starring in T. and T, aka The Bride of Mr. T. Sadly this was Mr. T's last television show for a while because he had a new, deadlier foe to fight in the nineties. Still, Mr. T is known for fighting everybody, so cancer was no problem for him.

In this decade Mr T got a show about helping people. "I Bleed For The Fool" was popular, but a bit too messianic so it only lasted a season. This probably explains the reason why Judgment wasn't a hit, despite the scene where T wrestles with Satan. Then again, maybe audiences felt down that Satan won, even though he clearly cheated.

Mr T has three children, the youngest being T Junior. America has great hopes for him.

In conclusion, next to God, Mr. T has the greatest set of Ten Commandments.

Black History Month Essay #6

My essay is about Whoopi Goldberg. She is the woman responsible for bringing man and dinosaur together, but that's only a fraction of what she's has done for our planet.

Whoopi was born Caryn Elaine Johnson in 1955. She changed her last name to Goldberg because Jew jokes were popular by the time she became a comedian. Whoopi came from her friends when they compared her to a whoopee cushion. There's no truth to the rumor that she gets what they meant by that.

During her first few appearances in films and theater Steven Spielberg thought she would be great in his film about Prince. Eventually The Color Purple was changed to be based on a novel of a black woman in the thirties, which critics felt was a wise choice. There is truth to the rumor that Spielberg is planning to take out all the yucky scenes and replace them with Whoopi stomping on grapes to make the best wine ever. Whoopi didn't win an Oscar for her role but her Golden Globe Award puts her in fine company as other actresses like Pia Zadora.

Despite her prestigious award her movie career hit a slump. Even after films like Jumpin' Jack Flash, The Telephone, and Burglar, she was forced to get a role on television. Well, back in the sixties Whoopi saw an episode of Star Trek and was proud to see that the Uhura character was a black woman who wasn't a maid. When she got her groundbreaking role on Star Trek: The Next Generation, people could now see a black woman as a bartender on television. Truly times have changed.

This reenergized her career and led to her role in Ghost. She was finally given an Oscar after she agreed not to be involved with the pottery wheel scene. She hit her stride in the early nineties and released two movies that taught America that nuns can be funny. The movies were so popular that nuns had to drop the habits, similar to goalies dropping the masks after the Friday the 13th series.

Whoopi was huge at this time. She did guestwork as Gaia in the Captain Planet series , which taught us that enviromentalism means swift retribution to anybody who doesn't respect the planet. She also did the voice of a hyena in the Lion King, an injoke because now she was the one that was laughing! Unfortunately, her ego got big and led to the biggest mistake of her career. She started dating Ted Danson and the both made the film Made in America. Federal Law prevents me from discussing them or this movie anymore.

Whoopi was ordered to make a PSA as her punishment, and this is when she made Theodore Rex. This film, about the prejudices between man and reptile, proves that all films are created equal. It's just that some are more worthy to be released in the theaters than others.

Eddie was going to restart Whoopi's career in the later nineties, but that turned out to be Bogus. It wasn't until she costarred in How Stella Got her Groove back that people started to remember her. This led her to get the center square in The Hollywood Squares, where the celebrities were so good that they were often picked more than her.

In the 00s, she starred in films like The Rat Race, where some mad mad people traveled the world for a prize. She later got her own sitcom that made audiences laugh about how obnoxious some people can be with their political views. This only lasted a year because the writers were already burnt out after making a season of great episodes. Whoopi also voiced a role in an animated penguin movie, since they were so popular for kids in the mid 00s.

Later Whoopi landed a chair on The View to the delight of all the political bloggers. Whoopi loves this show because she can get real drunk and still look like a genius next to Joy Behar.

Whoopi's career speaks for itself. It's so long and distinguished, that you can see why my essay is a day late. Clearly, you can't take off a letter grade because the extra time was worth it.

Black History Month Essay #5

Do not disparage the great man who I am about to write about, for he is Jaleel Rufus White. His many triumphs will be revealed in my essay.

Jaleel was born in 1976 in Pasadena, California. Despite the little old ladies he grew up to be a fine young child actor. Jaleel's father was a dentist, and he would remind his son to smile during a commercial shooting by pulling out a dental drill.

Jaleel's early starts were numerous. He starred in a Kelloggs commercial and he performed admirably despite the constant whir sound. He got his first start on a television show by appearing on Flip Wilson. There is no truth to the rumor that Satan forced him. Jaleel wasn't always successful, and suffered a humiliating snub when he failed to be cast for Saved By the Bell. This will always be one of the Entertainment Industry's biggest What If? scenarios.

Jaleel bounced back and by the nineties he starred in what turned out to be his trademark role. Everybody loved his voice for Sonic the Hedgehog, including people who wouldn't creep you out. Jaleel showed his diverse talent by voicing a Sonic for a goofy weekday show, a Sonic for a more serious Saturday show, and a Sonic show that was written when people were starting to get tired of the games. Jaleel could take Captain Lou Albano in a fight.

Jaleel also had a cereal in the nineties. It was called Urkel-Os and was made thanks to his ties to Kelloggs. Of course, everybody thought it was stupid to have a cereal mascot with no history, so Kelloggs got ABC to force this new character into Full House. He didn't fit there, but he proved popular enough to appear in other shows. Finally they just created a show called "That Urkel Show", and eased his character into that. It was officially called something else, but only the producers remember the original name.

"Thank Goodness It's Friggen-Good-Cereal" made more money for Urkel than he knew what to do with. Sadly he spent most of his money on painkillers because he had to bend his knees and hike his pants up so often. Critics and fans alike started to realize his character wasn't as funny when he was thirty-three, so the show was finally cancelled. White was broke and had already made powerful enemies. (At his high school, Middlesex, he got several students angry at him when they mistakenly thought he was a nerd. Matt Damon was his arch-nemesis.)

Like all people who were desperate for money, any money, he had a sitcom on UPN. This didn't last long nor his affair with Soleil Moon Frye. He did get some work as the definitive voice of Martin Luther King Jr in My Friend Martin, though. Later he got a role in the political documentary Who Made the Potatoe Salad? Critics were split over whether Dan Quayle jokes were still funny.

Jaleel has had a remarkable career and is a fine American. His fans will see what should be one of his finest roles in the film Green Flash, where he will play Jason Bootie. I'm sure we will all see it this year and look at what he did.

Black History Month Concludes

Since I spent the last four weeks writing fake essays, maybe I should share my experiences with a Black History Month that took place when I was about 10 or 11.

This particular grade seemed to always devoted the entire month to Black History. Things were kicked off with long list of fill-in-the-blank questions. Some of these were easy but many were hard, like the one question about the North Pole. I asked my mom for help and we did our best, but I think I still did poorly on this.

The big event was that we were all suppose to pick one character, do a small report, and make a poster. This was all in preparation for our video report, all done on one day. We were to dress like the person we chose and do interviews as if we were that person.

I chose Frederick Douglass, mostly because my mom convinced me that he would be a good choice. When I told the teacher who I would be, one of my classmates was dismayed when he heard me. However, he was also allowed to be Frederick Douglass. I let the report sit for a few weeks because I'm lazy and like to wait till the last minute. When I finally sat down to do it, I had not read the book I got. I skimmed through the first chapter and wrote my first paragraph about that first chapter, which was basically about Frederick's childhood. My mom saw that paragraph and convinced me that wasn't the way to go. I eventually just went to the back of the book and wrote a report based on a list of dates and accomplishments. At that poin it was the best I could do.

On the day of the "interviews", we all had to change first. I only had to put on some sort of tie and whatever combo, but I went to the bathroom with the other boys as they changed because I wanted to put off this whole thing. When I returned I learned that my interview was towards the end. The interviews were split into four parts, and they couldn't decide if I would be in part three or part four. I was in the intro for both parts! In part one, I sat in the back next to the video camera. Of course, I would just have to start sneezing. They eventually had to move me away.

Finally my turn came. Sadly, as you can tell, my research was kind of lacking. I don't think I got a terrible grade, but I basically played Frederick Douglass as myself. Usually he isn't portrayed as a smiley guy. I also said "I forget" more times than I should have. In hindsight the other guy who did Frederick did a much better job since he played it seriously.

The tape was finished and was supposed to be passed from student to student. I'm sure you could see the problems this could lead to, so it may not be surprising that I never got a chance to see the tape myself. (Actually, we may not have even had a VHS VCR yet, but we had relatives who did.) It's probably for the best. I probably looked as silly as anyone who would have copied one of my silly essays and turned it in as their own.

Black History Month Essay #4

My essay is about Vanessa Williams. Vanessa Williams is best known for her role in Eraser, but she's also done one or two other things in her career.

Vanessa Williams was an attractive young gal when she was young, and she later went on to win a beauty contest to prove that. However, she made a terrible mistake. She posed nude BEFORE she became a famous actress. She ended up losing her crown to a whiny know-it-all.

This didn't kill her career, but I would avoid using google image if I were you. Damn perverts.

Her next step was a music career. This led to her biggest hit, Colors of the Wind, which was played on the radio every ten minutes when Disney released Pocahontas. Vanessa taught us all that white people were brutes that were not able to tell that the wind is blue. Yes, it's blue, dammit! This song won an Oscar, a Grammy, a Golden Globe, but no important awards.

Vanessa also had an acting career. While nobody can deny the importance of Eraser, her biggest role to this date has to be opposite of Samuel L. Jackson in Shaft. She played... I don't know. But isn't Samuel L. awesome? His lightsaber was purple and had MF carved into it!

According to her bio, she played the Queen of Trash in The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland. I guess she played the character that kept giving advice to fraggles.

Her biggest contribution to television was in a pivotal episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Here she got to lesbian it up with Terry Farrell, who is the one with spots on her body. DS9 fans recall her role with fondness. When you ask them about it, they'll at first say, "She was on the show?" Later, they'll recall, "Oh no, not that terrible episode!"

In summary, isn't this world a crazy place?

Black History Month Essay #3

My essay is about TV's Fat Albert, Bill Cosby. Bill Cosby is most known for his Jello and Kodak commercials, but he's done other stuff besides that.

Bill Cosby was once a spy in the sixties, but that's long behind him. He became a comic and later made his first attempt at a tv show with his name in the title, but it only lasted two years. He vowed to resurrect the idea later.

After teaching America the coolness of "Hey, hey, hey!", Cosby made one of his most memorable contributations to American TV. I'm referring to, of course, Picture Pages. Bill Cosby and that pen thingie would draw lines from left to right, and kids, like a young Tork for example, would learn how to beg their parents to buy the books and pens and whatever the hell else came with Picture Pages. Sadly, I was forced to just sit and watch. I'm not bitter.

Later in the eighties, Cosby made Leonard Part 6, the turning poin in that series. (This was the highlight of Joe Don Baker's career, by the way.) Of course, The Cosby Show was the number one show at the time, but I've never seen it. I don't know why. Probably cause I hate jazz or film or something.

Later in the nineties Cosby made another Cosby show with the same wife. However, it was on CBS, so it focused on how old they were. There was a show about Cosby solving mysteries, and a show about Cosby stealing from Groucho Marx, but ... I don't feel like ending that sentence. Cosby is now known for being afraid of what he ate.

In conclusion, nothing is funnier then a Cosby impersonation. (Except for those SNL Mr. T cartoons.)

Black History Month Essay #2

My essay is about Ice-Cube. Mr. Cube's name comes from the term for frozen water, which he uses because he's so cool. He's known for rapping, but I didn't bother to do any research about that part of his career.

Ice Cube later became an actor. His break out roll was in Boyz in the Hood, a movie that shockingly replaced the s with a z. Later, he had a part in Higher Learning, a movie that taught us that at any poin in your time at college, you can run into white supermacists having battles with black militants. I think I might have tripped over a few bodies getting to work today.

Later, Ice Cube hit a low when the success of Friday helped launched the career of Chris Tucker. Thankfully, he was able to bounce back with the success of Anaconda. Despite the color of his skin, his character survived the movie.

Other hit movies he's been in include Barbershop, where he tried to mix rapping with a barbershop quartet. It was revolutionary but ahead of its time. Other rolls include XXX 2, as the guy who took over the series when Van Deisel left, and a roll in Are We There Yet?

His most famous roll, of course, is in the movie Torque. And if yahoo would work, I would put up the poster for the film.



Ice Cube is in no way the same guy as Ice-T, star of Johnny Mnemonic and Tank Girl. Get your notes straight.

Black History Month Essay #1

My essay is about Halle Berry. She is a great woman. My essay will show that. Let us begin.

Halle was born in 1966. As a young woman, Halle was a cheerleader. All cheerleaders are beauty queens, so she represented the US in the Miss World Pageant in 1986. This served her well for later.

She eventually moved on to acting. Her breakout role was that hot woman in The Flintstones Movie. She proved she was a great actress by singlehandedly saving the movie. She also showed courage by not taking her name off the credits of BAPS and having a silly haircut in Bullworth.

Her most famous movie, and the won she won a Oscar for, was X-Men. No one could wear a white wig like her or stand around in the background. People are still quoting her famous line, "The same thing that happens to everything else!" Her character was notable for the stuff that could happen in front of her. Nobody but Halle could have turned on the waterworks like her.

Later, Halle went back to her cheerleading roots to be naughty enough to take the role for Swordfish. And she went back to her beauty queen origins for her role for Catwoman, or something.

This woman was no "Jinx" to good, quality films! Audiences are no "Perfect Stranger" to her, and she is definitely a "Class Act."
