The upcoming music biopic “All Eyez On Me” follows the life of rapper Tupac Shakur (Demetrius Shipp, Jr.), from his humble beginnings to his professional success and cult personality to his tragic demise by a fatal drive-by shooting. Today would be Shakur’s 45th birthday, so it’s only appropriate that the first teaser trailer for “All Eyez On Me” would drop today of all days. In the trailer, Shakur’s mother Afeni Shakur (Danai Gurira) explains to her son over voiceover, “This ain’t just about you. Like all black men, you have a bullseye on your back. They are going to give you the tools that you need to destroy yourself. So above all else, to thine own self be true. Let me see your spirit.” Watch the trailer above.

Orange Is the New Black, Season 2, Episode 8: “Appropriately Sized Pots”
Written by Alex Regnery & Hartley Voss
Directed by Daisy Von Scherler Mayer
Released Friday, June 6 on Netflix Instant
And so the work of the ants continues to pay off. We haven’t hit any kind of critical mass yet as far as the contraband businesses and Red vs. Vee, but the battle lines are being more clearly drawn, people are taking their places, and tensions are rising high. Piper even finally has a space in the prison drama, as her furlough makes her a recipient of white privilege, and also a target. The furlough is something even Suzanne is furious about (in spite of her own white parents), which lets you know it’s serious, not to mention all of those inmates who have lost their loved ones, yet weren’t granted a few days off themselves.

Horror Channel have announced a double bill season of brain-munching zombie movies. Including five UK TV premieres. Rising up from the Friday 6th April are a putrid plethora of zombie movies, both contemporary and classic, celebrating the popularity of one of the genre’s most enduring archetypal villains. The season reflects the diverse range of metaphors these ungodly creatures represent – from the breakdown of society to our addiction to consumerism and taste for the military.
6th April @ 22:55 – Night Of The Living Dead (1968)
The season kicks off with the genre classic, George Romero’s Night Of The Living Dead. It’s 1968 and America watches horrified as grimy black and white news footage from Vietnam reveals the true monsters in this world – us. It was this political backdrop that spurred Romero to make his ground-breaking movie, harnessing the horror of watching a national disaster unfold on the news – before it comes...
