Review: AT LAST! A positive movie showing Black love and family in a postive light; the way we all know how it really is; in spite of the absence of it in Hollywood. Words cannot express my delight in seeing the lead actors in adult roles, after having seen them grow up on television. I would love to see more of this on the major networks. Please buy this, you'll love it.

Summary: A Great Love Story
Review: BET finally got it right. This movie was very good and the story line was closer to the book than any BET movie to date. I have watched all of these BET "books into movies" and had been totally disappointed, this was by far the best out of all of them, mainly because they kept to the storyline. If you enjoyed the movie you will love the book.
I also recommend Commitments on DVD and the book.

Summary: You Find Love When You Least Expect It
Review: Finally you get intelligent movies portraying African Americans who are successful in their own way. Holly Aimes (Lark Voorhies) owns a security company and Micheal Williams ( Kadeem Hardison) who is a popular TV host who is known as the sexiest bachelor in America. Holly Aimes is a woman in the limelight who wants her own life and is scorned by her past relationship in the public eye because her father is a respected California Congressman. She basically has sworn off men until she meets Micheal and let's just say a blossoming romance takes over he is doing everything he can to find his way into her heart. I would definitely recommend this movie along with commitments, One special moment, Intimate Betrayal and Rhapsody. All Of these movies I have just name are part of BET's Arabesque Film Library. They are finally coming out on DVD for purchase! Look for the other Arabesque titles because BET Packs Black Star Power.

Summary: Love In The Spotlight
Review: I really have taken on a real wonderful interest in a lot of movies that were showcased on BET for quite awhile. Largely, because a lot of the good African-American movies are right here, and not in the theaters. It really does surprise me a whole lot. Nevertheless, there is just a lot of excitement in these movies that Arabesque and BET developed, most of them anyway. There have been so many good movies that were made including A Private Affair with Vanessa Bell, the very deep and understanding After All with Holly Robinson Peete, and some other well known ones just like the depths of Fire & Ice.

The 2001 film Fire & Ice, showcases the surprising love story of a well-recognized talk show host, played by Kadeem Hardison from A Different World fame, and a high ranking daughter of a politican, Holly Ames, played by Lark Vorhies from the hit teen show Saved By The Bell. The story is about two worlds that are matching, that sometimes get in the way of their own careers. Kadeem's character wants to fall in love with Holly Ames, but often gets placed back into the spotlight by his well enforced, demanding career. Within this love affair, he considers popping the question, but Holly decides to refuse the proposal, but under the pressure of her friends, and his well recieevd public feelings from a television plea on the talk show Kadeem performs on. Holly steps into the spotlight, and says yes. This film does show that love can be among strange positions.

All in all, Fire & Ice is a delightful film, and is just wonderful to watch. If you have seen this film on BET before, you may want to rent this, buy it on DVD or tape it from BET if it airs again. If not, see this delightful love story for yourself beyond the hearts of fire & ice.

Summary: Love this movie
Review: I'm a big Kadeem Hardison fan, so when this movie came on BET I watched it. I thought it was well cast, and everytime it comes on I watch it. I plan to order the DVD, and I know it will be watched often. The story is a sweet love story. Dealing with trust, forgiveness and letting go to love someone. Kadeem is a big time talk show host, who falls in love with Lark's character who owns an alarm business. She is getting over the heartbreak of her ex, but can't prevent herself from falling for Kadeem's character. When she finds out that Kadeem planned to interview her ex on the show, she gets angry and wants to end the relationship. By the end of the movie you will be a little weepy. Well I was. LOL IMHO this one is a keeper!!! In fact.....I'm going to place my order right now. :)

Summary: An Excellent Love Story
Review: This is truly an excellent love story that transcends race. The acting was very well and the plot unfolded smoothly. I found it very refreshing to not only see a love story about African Americans, but to also note that this story was very tasteful with very little or no profanity at all. There were no explicit sex scenes. Both the leading and supporting characters in the movie were educated, normal, and professionally successful. It is a shame that there are not more movies in theatres like this. This is a movie that should have made it to the big screen to dismiss some stereotypes that many people possess. If you haven't rented or purchased a copy of this movie, I suggest that you do so as soon as possible.
