“The Chi” dropped its first trailer for Season 6 Tuesday, teasing how the Showtime series will put Emmett and Keisha’s blissful union to the test while spotlighting Douda’s shifting loyalties in the fallout of Q’s murder, Kiesha’s burgeoning career aspirations, the high schoolers’ graduation and more.
“I’m forever grateful to Chicago. It made me who I am,” Kevin (Alex R. Hibbert) says in the trailer, which shows him and his friends enjoying their senior prom.
“The city is all we got. We’re going to stumble sometimes, but we’ve got to help each other get back up again,” Emmett (Jacob Latimore) adds.
But on the flip side, a new character Darnell (Rolando Boyce) indicates that “The Chi” won’t be all fun and laughs: “And we all need to be mindful of the company we keep,” he says.

Aspiring club promoters and best buds Damon and Kevin are barely keeping things together. Out of money, down on their luck and about to lose the roofs over their heads—and freshly fired from their low-lift jobs as house cleaners—the pair needs a huge windfall to make their problems go away. In a ‘what the hell?’ move, they decide to host the party of the year at an exclusive mansion, the site of their last cleaning job, which just happens to belong to none other than LeBron James. No permission? No problem. What could go wrong?
Usually, I love the type of comedy that’s not by the book and doesn’t play by the rules, with one of my all-time favourites being F. Gary Gray‘s Friday.

House Party is a 2023 comedy movie directed by Calmatic starring Tosin Cole, Jacob Latimore and Karen Obilom.
House Party is a remake of the movie directed by Reginald Hudlin in 1990. This time around, the screenplay is written by Stephen Glover (emblematic creator and star of Atlanta) and Jamal Olori.
This is a remake that looks exactly like a remake and which does not want to fail the original, is so faithful to it that it lacks a justification for being made in the first place.

A formula as old as the movies itself, the House Party concept is essentially a blank slate revolving around the climatic, titular event where the stakes of friendship, relationships, and or business interests hang in the balance. Entering 2023’s House Party with the “Og” Kid ‘n Play trilogy fresh on my mind, the film follows a familiar path, revolving not around high school or college kids but, like House Party 3, guys in a kind of arrested development in their mid-20s. Like Kid, Kevin (Jacob Latimore) is on the up and up, dreaming of a better life for his daughter Destiny while living with encouraging parents. He works a series of dead-end jobs to provide while Damon (Tosin Cole) bounces between his family and his aunt’s house. He’s a social media concert promoter with a modest Instagram following he hasn’t been able to monetize. His aunt rightfully...

Tosin Cole was larking about on the set of the Warner Bros House Party reboot in Los Angeles when an email dropped from casting director Kim Coleman (BlacKkKlansman) about Emmett Till’s story.
“I was like, ‘I’m filming for months non stop, I want to go home,’ ” he recalls thinking. “They wanted me to go for Medgar Evers, and I was like, ‘I don’t know who that is. Let me think about it.’ “
His agent brought him up short telling him, “No, you got to do it. At least send a tape.”
“I was like, ‘I’m doing night shifts in LA. I don’t know when I’ll have time,’ ” he worried.
That’s when Barbara Broccoli, an executive producer of Uar’s Till, zinged him a message saying, “We’d love to have you on board, if you can.”
That missive sharpened Cole’s mind.

After much back-and-forth, Warner Bros. Discovery is releasing “House Party” into theaters nationwide. This charmingly offbeat remake (of sorts) of the 1990 original was directed by music video whiz Calmatic and written by Jamal Olori and Stephen Glover, both veterans of FX’s beloved series “Atlanta.”
And while the film eventually starred Tosin Cole and Jacob Latimore, as a couple of knuckleheads who decide to throw a house party at LeBron James’ house (while he’s away reaching spiritual enlightenment), the movie almost took a very different turn.
When discussing the film with TheWrap, they said that, much like the original film was built as a vehicle for hip hop duo Kid ‘n Play, the “House Party” remake was once built around a different pairing. “The original thing that they came to us with was, perhaps they were going to have LeBron and Drake play Kid ‘n Play, basically, and have a party at a house,...

Now that they’ve decided on throwing the most elaborate party they’ve ever seen with an exclusive guest list, they just have one thing left to consider: will their party be crashed by its owner?

Blow the dust off your wired microphone, there’s a new “House Party” movie in theaters.
The remake of the 1990 movie hails from LeBron James and Maverick Carter’s SpringHill Entertainment, as well as the O.G. film’s distributor New Line Cinema. (Warner Bros. put this one out theatrically; it was originally meant to be an HBO Max movie released last summer.) Considering the early reviews — IndieWire’s Jude Dry called it an “uneven” film, one “that skates by on celebrity cameos,” like those from James and his NBA pals — 2023’s “House Party” probably should have stayed on streaming.
Stephen Glover wrote this “House Party” with his “Atlanta” colleague Jamal Olori. The 2023 reboot, which is technically the sixth movie in the franchise, is directed by Charles “Calmatic” Kidd II, who is mostly known for doing music videos and TV commercials to this point.

The much-loved 1990 hit gets a flat, unnecessary upgrade with help from LeBron James and a host of other misfiring guests
“Party at LeBron’s” is a dynamite premise for a movie, especially if the King in question is the cheapskate egotist who stole the 2015 romcom Trainwreck as effortlessly as he would a lazy crosscourt pass. But it’s one thing for Judd Apatow and Amy Schumer to caricature the NBA great, quite another for James to take himself down a few pegs and bring one of the more beloved franchises in Black film cinema history with him.
House Party – like the forthcoming White Men Can’t Jump remake, also directed by Charles Kidd II (Aka Calmatic) – makes no titular attempt to distinguish itself from the 1990 classic. This latest edition, which premieres this weekend, doesn’t so much build on the story of the previous three films, or the two straight-to-dvd postscripts,...

Why? It’s a question I ask myself when I watch reboots and remakes of older films. Whether I like them or not, I always ask why. Why was this rebooted? Why was it remade? And then I look for any details about the film that help it stand on its own. I found no answers to those questions while watching Calmatic’s House Party reboot.
As one of my favorite films growing up, I think about the things I really liked about the 1990 version of House Party. Not only was it a lot of fun, but it was intelligent and had some subtle but effective social commentary.

As one of my favorite films growing up, I think about the things I really liked about the 1990 version of House Party. Not only was it a lot of fun, but it was intelligent and had some subtle but effective social commentary. The 2023 version, written by Jamal Olori and Stephen Glover, is just a slapstick comedy, with boneheaded characters and a narrative so incomprehensible I often forgot what I was watching.

Plot: When a couple of friends find themselves fired from their cleaning job, they decide to make the most of the situation. Upon the discovery they are cleaning the legendary LeBron James’ home, they make a pact to bring the House Party there while the homeowner is away on retreat.
Review: In 1990, Christopher Reid and Christopher Martin (Aka Kid ‘N Play) gave audiences a laugh in House Party. Several less-than-stellar sequels followed up the funny feature. Considering the quality of each installment lessened rapidly, you can’t keep a franchise down. Kid ‘N Play may have been all partied out after the third film, but it didn’t stop the franchise from continuing. We now have the latest, a new take on the original film. And while the storyline here is ridiculous and shouldn’t work, the latest House Party is a fun flick with an abundance of cool cameos.

LeBron James may be the Goat of the NBA, but his Hollywood titles have been a little harder to sink. Since starting his production company SpringHill in 2020 with Maverick Carter, James has served as executive producer on a number of projects, including 2021’s high-profile but notoriously beleaguered production of “Space Jam: A New Legacy.” While that film earned James a Razzie Award for Worst Actor, he has no intention of slowing down.
Undaunted by the poor “Space Jam” reception, James partnered with Warner Bros. for yet another reboot/sequel to a beloved ’90s film, though this time with a significantly lower profile. Starring Jacob Latimore and Tosin Cole as two broke best friends desperate to throw an party so epic it changes the trajectory of their lives, “House Party” is a gussied up reboot of Reginald Hudlin’s 1990 cult classic.

The 1990 bubblegum hip-hop comedy “House Party,” starring Kid ‘n Play, was a movie that channeled the flavor of its moment, and influenced a lot of what came afterward. It opened in March 1990 and helped to launch the spirit of the ’90s — something at once edgy and optimistic, infused with a rogue bravura that was made to conquer. Hip-hop had been on the rise for a decade, and by the late ’80s the preeminence of N.W.A. and Public Enemy had brought an ominous new profound power to hip-hop. In the summer of 1989, Spike Lee released “Do the Right Thing,” and that movie, with its fight-the-power core, was of course a Black cinematic apotheosis suffused with equal parts exuberance and trauma.
Somehow landing in the middle of all that, here was “House Party,” a naughty rollicking New Line comedy that was comparable, in many ways, to the John Hughes films or “Animal House.

Reginald Hudlin’s original “House Party” is, if you haven’t rewatched it recently, an absolute firework of a motion picture. Lively, rich with character, and mostly very funny, the cult hit comedy of 1990 still feels fresh and exciting to this very day, right up until a shameful climactic volcano of rampant homophobia that makes the film frustratingly hard to recommend.
But a hit is a hit, and Hollywood did what Hollywood does best, churning out one follow-up after another until they ran that “House Party” right into the ground. One pretty good sequel and three completely forgettable ones later — unless the direct-to-video installments, “Down to the Minute” and “Tonight’s the Night,” have a passionate fanbase I’m unaware of — the time is just about right to revitalize the franchise with as straightforward a premise as it gets.

The original 1990 House Party was no masterpiece, but it featured infectious energy, enjoyable hijinks, two appealing leads in Christopher Reid and Christopher Martin (better known as the hip-hop duo “Kid ‘n Play”), and a very talented supporting cast including Robin Harris, Martin Lawrence, Tisha Campbell and John Witherspoon among others. The landmark teen comedy went on to spawn four sequels (the less said about, the better) and has now been given, in the words of director Calmatic, “a remix, not a remake.” The problem is that this remixed House Party is one to which audiences will regret accepting the invitation.
This film’s party doesn’t take place in any old house, but rather a palatial L.A. mansion belonging to LeBron James. Apparently not learning the lesson taught by Space Jam: A New Legacy that, as an actor, James makes a great basketball player, screenwriters Jamal Olori and Stephen Glover...

After a great start to the New Year, the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend offers another four-day weekend, which has often been the best week in the month of January to have a substantial hit. Read on for Gold Derby’s box office preview.
Three years ago, Will Smith and Martin Lawrence reunited for “Bad Boys for Life,” a movie that opened with 73 million over the four-day weekend. Two months later, Covid hit and movie theaters shut down, allowing that buddy comedy to become the biggest hit of 2020 with just 204.5 million in North America.
Even before that, this holiday weekend has seen sizable hits, including Clint Eastwood’s “American Sniper” in 2015 and the original “Ride Along,” starring Ice Cube and Kevin Hart, a year earlier.
Going into the weekend, most may just have to accept that “Avatar: The Way of Water” and “M3GAN” will likely remain the #1 and 2 movies,...
