Benjamin James: Screenwriter in Alta Loma, San Bernardino County, California.

Hello everyone, I will be graduating from the film program at Valencia College in a few weeks and I wanted to say hello! I have experience as a Script Supervisor, Office PA, Set PA, and Art PA.

I have worked on commercials from Suntrust Bank, a Star Trek fan film, and a commercial for the Star Trek Enterprise toy, just to name a few.

Also, I act. I am represented my Azureé Talent Agency in Orlando Fl.

i don't know about you guys, but i love watching new trailers. I enjoy seeing what's coming next. As a writer its good to keep an eye on what is trending, what type of stories are selling and where Hollywood is going. Today I have seen two trailers which warms my soul. Even though I am a white male, I'm all about all inclusiveness on film. Women in great roles, and stories about minorities, especially concerning their significant (and overlooked) roles in history. Side note: listen to Black Man by Stevie Wonder to get a history lesson of the contributions African Americans have brought to American culture and society. It will stun you. Plus its a good tune. My love for African American film may also be because I attend and serve at a largely African American church. I am surrounded by this culture and I love it. So the First trailer - Mr. Church - Eddie Murphy on a comeback role. Unlike a lot of movie stars his age making a comeback, he is not playing the role of an ex-C.I.A agent or something of equivalent. Instead he plays a chef who takes care of a White mother and her daughter. And over the course of 15 years we see a unique and beautiful bond between Mr. Church and the daughter. Eddie Murphy is subdued and charming, and its a throwback to a film like Driving Ms. Daisy. Yes the role of the African American is in a servant role, but I'm sure the movie will explore the humanity and friendship of the pair. Brit Robinson is wonderful as ever as the lead female role. Hidden Figures - The story of three African American women who were integral in the NASA program that saw America landing on the moon. Led by Taraji P. Henson, who is a bi-polar opposite to her lead in Empire, plays a math wiz commissioned by NASA to make American history and beat the Russians. Ocatavia Spencer and singer Jenelle Monae play the other two leads. The Presence of Kevin Costner in this movie is welcome and somewhat notable, since one of his most recent films Black and White not only starred Ocatvia and himself, but was a film he put his own money into. Something tells me that Kevin is making it his focus to highlight African American stories, which i think he should stick too rather than than make action roles his focus in his older years (see Criminal, or wait, don't see it). Plus this time era works for him as well. I hope all you lovers of independent cinema will avoid the white washing history re-envisioning films that are currently being slated for release, and watch some good natured movies that revolve around celebrating all races and all genders.

Is N E R V E The only thing worth watching tomorrow night? Star Trek, pass. Suicide Squad, pass. Bad moms? Oh my word. Even independent theater's have little to watch. Cafe Society, Woody Allen's latest does not look that great, and my wife will not watch the horror; Lights Out. N e r v e it is.

New Trailers - Dunkirk - a 1.07 minute teaser, that shows next to nothing, yet I am giddy with excitement for it. Hacksaw Ridge - This looks amazing, Great visuals, great acting, and a great story. Demon - An Israeli film I believe. If you like suspense, horror, and folklore, this looks to satisfy. Land Of Mine - I think this is Dutch, or German; and boy does this look brilliant.

What up and coming movies are people excited to see? Me - The Man who knew infinity, staring the always amazing Dev Patel.
