Your Back to School Movie Choices

Back to School Movie Choice 1

back to school movie - Akeelah and the Bee Akeelah and the Bee, 2006

Written and directed by Doug Atchison, Akeelah and the Bee tells the story of Akeelah Anderson, portrayed by Keke Palmer, an 11-year-old girl who participates in the Scripps National Spelling Bee, her mother portrayed by Angela Bassett, schoolmates, and also her coach, portrayed by Laurence Fishburne. It also explores issues of education in the black community.

The back-to-school film was developed over a period of 10 years by Doug Atchison, the germ of the idea having started after his watching the Scripps National Spelling Bee of 1994 and combined with his experiences spent tutoring disadvantaged students in the area around the University of Southern California, where he attended film school. After four years of trying to secure funding for the film, the documentary film Spellbound came out in 2002 and perhaps, according to one producer, Sid Ganis, facilitated funding. Spellbound features a black girl, Ashley White, from Washington, D.C., in rough parallel to the independent idea developed in Akeelah and the Bee.

It has been heavily promoted by Starbucks as a result of a partnership between Lions Gate Entertainment, 2929 Entertainment, and Starbucks Entertainment. As the first DVD offered for sale at Starbucks, the film earned positive reviews from most critics, getting an 83% from 131 critics at Rotten Tomatoes.

    The fact that he didn’t get credit for a while is more the story of social injustice. But his own spirit wasn’t driven by that, and wasn’t dependent upon that. He just wished he had the cash to go to medical school.

    Most men and women work all week and only have a couple of hours of free time during the weekends and who desires to waste time on a bad movie when they might be enjoying worth keeping just as easily. If you are just relying about the commercials there’s actually no way to know how very good a movie will be. You can now be a person step prior to the game by acquiring an honest movie review from others who have seen it by simply heading to one of the numerous movie review sites on the web.
