R&B Chick (2008)
Sweet movie
Story of young naive woman moving out to LA to work in the music industry. Things seem too good to be true at first...meets a nice friend and music producer, gets a job easily, etc. but then things get tougher and she sees the nasty underside of the industry. Christina Johnson is great as Sterling, I could really relate to her as a character. Wish that there was more of Dylan Mooney (he plays a homeless guy, and does a great job, but its kinda a bit role). This is obviously a low-budget production, and I was sometimes surprised that it calls itself Christian because of the profanity and occasional but intense violence. But overall I'd recommend it.
Beauty Shop (2005)
My favorite movie!
This movie is a great one! Queen Latifah, as always, is amazing. In this one she shines as an example to women everywhere to pursue their dreams and not let anything stand in their way.
Tired of dealing with an annoying boss, she decides to open her own Beauty Salon, and deals with all the hassles of running a new business - plus being a mother to a daughter with a recently deceased father. But she takes it all in stride, and hands out plenty of laughs for the audience as they enjoy the ride with her.
Beauty Shop not just entertains, it has good lessons in it too - I recommend this movie to all the women out there (and the men who enjoy a movie that empowers women too!)
