KEYSHIA COLE/Just Like You: Certainly not a flash in the pan, there should be no doubt that Cole is the new diva of the moment as she keeps her hot streak alive with a spare no expense set that delivers the goods. An urban set that has all the right moves, Cole comes across like a powerhouse that just won’t be stopped with this fresh set that’s sure to set the tone for things to come. There’s certainly never a dull moment as Cole continues her quest to keep her music at the top of the charts. This takes many others to school.

THE LAIR Complete First Season: I think it all started when National Lampoon did “Dragula”, a satire that blew Dracula out of the closet. Now we have this spin off from “Dante’s Cove”, a whole series about gay vampires and the goings on in their private gentleman’s club. Watching this, you get the same vibe you got when black cinema was just beginning to flower as a force as opposed to an after thought. Loaded with enough extras to bring casual viewers into the purchase tent, this is an example of genre work poised on the edge of a break out.

NINE LIVES: Looks like gay cinema has come a long way from “Boys in the Band” while not really straying that far from base. With the addition of AIDS, drug dealers and the down low, has anything really changed? A tightly drawn ensemble piece about a day in the life of a bunch of people and how they intersect, it’s a well drawn drama that certainly has it’s share of drama. With a great tag line- “there’s a two lies to every story”, this pic is off to a great start. It’s time for the mass market to open the lens a little wider as the mainstream becomes more of a chasm than a dividing line.
