National Alumni President sends out a request

Nix — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 22:25:32 +0000

Below is a letter sent out by Dr. F. Vincent Allison III, President of the National Alumni Association of Hillside High School

Congratulations go out to our Hillside High School 4A State Football Championship Team. Now it is time for all Hillside Alumni to step up and help our great football team receive their championship rings. Contrary to popular belief, the NC High School Athletic Association does not provide championship rings. It is up to the individual schools and their booster to purchase rings for their championship teams. Let us show our team how proud we are of their perfect season of 16-0 that culminated in a state 4A championship.

Please send your tax deductible contribution to NAAHHS, PO Box 51758, Durham NC 27717 (write Championship Ring Fund on the memo line of your check). You may also make a contribution through Pay Pal.

Thank you for your generous support!

Sincerely,
Dr. F. Vincent Allison III
President

For Colored Girl Review

Nix — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 17:04:50 +0000

This week we are going to review the movie, For Colored Girls. Believe it or not but this is the first movie that Tyler Perry did that he didn’t write. Now don’t get me wrong, he wrote the screenplay but it was adapted from the stage play, For Colored Girls Who Considered Suicide When The Rainbow Wasn’t Enuf by Ntozake Shange. The play is the story of 7 women who are trying to deal with life, but the p... Read more..

Review: Takers

Nix — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 15:08:36 +0000

Opening weekend, Takers took in 21 million dollars and was number two at the box office but one thing that most people don’t say is that Takers was in 2206 and The Last Exorcism was in 2874. So who would have really won if they were in the same about of theaters? Hum…

The Karate Kid-Review

Nix — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 14:36:42 +0000

For those who remember seeing the 1984 classic film, The Karate Kid you will be pleasantly surprised with the remake. Now I will be first to admit that I was a little worried about seeing an updated version. Most remakes are a sad shadow of the original but lucky for us, The Karate Kid 2010 does a great job of capturing the spirit of the first one but is different enough to keep your attention.

From the jump, you know that things are different. The kid’s name isn’t Daniel, its Dre. His family moves from Detroit to China. The Dre is a lot younger than Daniel. And Dre doesn’t learn karate; he learns kung fu which is taught in China. Karate is taught in Japan. The audience didn’t know or care. Yet, with all of those differences, the movie still works.

The shell of The Karate Kid as the same. Dre is the new kid and gets beat up twice by a bully over a girl. The second beat down and Dre gets BEAT DOWN, is stopped by Mr. Han, the apartment handy man. Who teaches the bullies a lesson on beat downs. Han teaches Dre the art of Kung Fu and they enter the local tournament. You hear the classic line about the leg and Dre wins. YEAH!
