The Jazz Caravan

Jazz Caravan The
It didn’t take long for anyone watching the Cosby Show to realize that he loved Jazz and the Blues and if you weren’t a fan of those genres, the Coz was going to do what he could to change that opinion. As it turns out, Cliff Huxtable’s (Bill Cosby) father was a former slide trombone player in a generic sounding band called the Jazz Caravan, and we get to see Russell “Slide” Huxtable make his triumphant return.




The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
The Cosby Show (1986)

Actor:
Earle Hyman (Russell Huxtable)

Songs you might remember:
None

Why you should vote for them:
This is a great collection of talent.

Why you should not vote for him:
They may have been talented, but the build was to “Slide” Huxtable’s return, that was not the talent of the group.

Jaxx

Jaxx
Capitalizing on the East Coast West Coast Rap feud, we have a VH1 film where Jaxx; a rising star in the East Coast Rap scene, is plucked by a tyrannical manager from the West Coast. If you followed what happened with the Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur, then we don’t really have to tell you how this ends. This wasn’t a bad film, and we wonder why it did not get more of a life on reruns.




The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Play’d: A Hip Hop Story (2002)

Actor:
Rashaan Nall

Songs you might remember:
Actually, there really aren’t any.

Why you should vote for him:
How about because his wife was played by Toni Braxton?

Why you should not vote for him:
If it debuts on VH1, how successful do you really think it was?

“Hard to Hold” was meant to be the vehicle to take Rick Springfield to the next level, but the film was destined to be the tail end of soap star’s peak. Springfield played a womanizing pop star (which we are sure was a big stretch for him as an actor) in a formulaic and predictable piece. The Soundtrack however with songs all done by Springfield did do well and generated three Top 40 hits, though don’t we really only remember him for “Jessie’s Girl”, which is not on the Soundtrack?




The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Hard to Hold (1984)

Actors:
Rick Springfield

Songs you might remember:
Love Somebody
Don’t Walk Away

Why you should vote for him:
Does the fact that Springfield sang everything count?

Why you should not vote for him:
This was not a hit film.

We have no problem stating that we believe that Eddie Murphy was screwed out of the Best Supporting Actor Award and that his performance as the Marvin Gaye inspired role was brilliant. We would even go as far as saying that we loved it so much that if Early got inducted into our Hall of Fame before Effie, we would be totally cool with that.   Seriously, we thought he was that good.




The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Dreamgirls (2006)

Actors:
Eddie Murphy

Songs you might remember:
Cadillac Car
Jimmy Got Soul

Why you should vote for him:
This should have been an Oscar winner

Why you should not vote for him:
This was a Marvin Gaye knockoff.
