SOUL FOOD is a warmly atmospheric ensemble drama set around the abundant table of Chicago family matriarch Mother Joe, whose extended brood orbits around the stabilizing force of her sumptuous Sunday dinners. However, when dissent brews between competitive sisters Maxine and Teri, grandson (and narrator) Ahmad tries to reunite the family. This moving film, written and directed wonderfully by George Tillman Jr., features excellent performances from Vanessa L. Williams, Vivica A. Fox, Nia Long, Irma P. Hall and the rest of the talented cast.

The film was turned into a successful cable television series on Showtime.

Soul Food Reviews:

"...A warm and embracing family drama..." -- Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

"...Williams does an observant job....[Tillman] seems to know the characters so well; by the film's end, so do we..." -- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

"...Writer-director George Tillman Jr. serves up down-home fare that enriches the heart and leaves you satisfied..." -- 3 out of 4 stars -- Susan Wloszczyna, USA Today

At once clever, funny, and bizarre, Nickelodeon's popular animated television series THE FAIRLY ODDPARENTS is one of the rare cartoons that appeals to both children and adults alike. The series centers around the adventures of Timmy Turner (voiced by Tara Strong), a lonely 10-year-old who is given his own fairy godparents--the dimwitted Cosmo and the no-nonsense Wanda, who disguise themselves as goldfish--to navigate the trials and tribulations of childhood. The trouble is that Cosmo and Wanda's magic comes with a set of rules that inevitably result in complications, with often wacky results. Populating Timmy's world are his clueless parents Mr. and Mrs. Turner, evil babysitter Vicky, and sadistic teacher Mr. Crocker--providing a surreal spin on standard coming-of-age comedy. In this special musical episode, rock & roll pandemonium erupts when Timmy is sent to a summer-school camp. This volume features four spooky, Halloween-themed episodes: "Scary Godparents," "Shiny Teeth," ...
