WIDOWS: THE MOST DECENT CHARACTER IS A DOG

We have to give credit to the publicist for the heist movie Widows: because they have whipped up considerable enthusiasm for the film. More than it deserves. The first explosive scene makes you feel like you’ve seen the movie before – many times over. Why does EVERY action movie start the same way – with ear-splitting detonations? All the men in Widows are despicable – the female stars try their best, but writers haven’t given them any likeable characteristics. The dismal story is set in politically corrupt Chicago where literally everyone seems to be on the take. We like someone to root for. Viola Davis’s dog was our favorite character.

VIOLA DAVIS WORRIES ABOUT HER DAUGHTER FEELING “ENTITLED”

Viola Davis (she’s one of our all-time favorites ) brought her adorable little girl, Genesis, 6, along when she appeared on Jimmy Kimmel, Live! Viola grew up in poverty as a child and she wants her daughter to appreciate all she has. Viola NEVER wants Genesis to feel a sense of entitlement, so for starters, she buys her clothes at Target and H&M – Nordstrom Rack on special occasions. But it’s hard not to feel special when you mom is an Oscar winner!

NO DOUBT VIOLA DAVIS IS HAVING A GOOD TIME

We were so touched by Viola Davis’s character’s speech in “Doubt” that it forever changed the way we formed opinions. Viola’s education shows, because she can play eloquent characters and simple characters with equal ease. She’s been married to actor Julius Tennon since 2003 and they have an adorable daughter Genesis, 3 (above at the Pumpkin Patch.)
