Kevin Nottingham Presents: Mama Said Knock You Out 20th Anniversary Remix Album

On August 27, 1990 LL Cool J teamed up with legendary producer Marley Marl to create one of my favorite hip hop albums of all time, Mama Said Knock You Out. “Don’t call it a comeback!” 20 years later, we here at KevinNottingham.com have gathered producers and emcees from all over the globe to remix a classic.

It all started 8 months ago with a weekly remix contest challenging producers to flip the original samples Marley Marl used to create the production for the album. 15 weeks later, the winning beats were chosen and the quest to find the right emcees to hop on these joints began.

After 8 months of hard work, I believe we have an album that greatly pays tribute to the original. Special thanks goes out to DJ Blacquestarr, DJ Grain, and Thomas (of KN.com) for helping with the contest. Thank you also to all the producers and emcees involved in this project… job well done.  Last but not least, thanks to LL Cool J and Marley Marl for laying the blueprint and providing the inspiration for making this remix album possible.

I hope you all enjoy this remix album…

Takers: Movie Review


I am a sucker for a good heist movie. There is just something about a film where a group of people planning out a huge robbery and then watching them execute the plan perfectly that I find really fun to watch. Most of the time these heist films that revolve around the ultimate score are filled with pretty entertaining characters on both sides of the law.  Unfortunately, Takers is not one of those movies.

Not only is the script in which a team or bank robbers decide to rob an armored car so poorly written, but it also includes a subplot about cops dealing with internal affairs that has absolutely nothing to do with the main story. 

Matt Dillon and Jay Hernandez are fine as the two detectives, but one of the most obvious flaws in the film is that two of the lead robbers are played by two of the most wooden actors working today, Paul Walker & Hayden Christensen.  These guys are just terrible actors.  I can handle Walker in the Fast & Furious films when he is with the Vin man, but when you put two horrible actors together like that it brings down the movie much further than just a lousy script.

Idris Elba and Michael Ealy fare much better as two more members of the team.  It really pains me with what I am about to say considering my personal feelings of the man. Chris Brown is the one who really stands out.  He is funny & charming, plus he gives the film it’s one great scene when he is running from the police.  It is truly a great chase scene.  I really hate having to say something positive about someone who draws such negative feelings from me.  This is one of the reasons I refuse to review any movie coming out that has Mel Gibson in it.  I never want to have to compliment that guy on anything.

Zoe Saldana also has a small part in the film as one of the criminal’s girlfriend, but if you are wondering why the Avatar star is in this film, it is probably because she filmed this way before Avatar ever came out. As for rapper T.I, we have seen him in other films like ATL and he carries that same T.I. swagger with him in this film, which comes off well. He is entertaining to watch, though not much of an actor.

Ultimately Takers is one of those films that has home video written all over it.  Their just is not much here to recommend.

The Last Exorcism: Movie Review


I love it when I go to see a film and it takes me completely by surprise, when the film I am watching gives me something better than what I expected. Such is the case with the new movie The Last Exorcism.  I was given an extremely well written documentary-style film with more intentional humor than most comedies that have come out this year.  If you have seen the trailers for The Last Exorcism, things like humor and great acting are not the first things to enter into your mind. If you go into this film just looking to get a good scare, that’s not really what you are going to get.  This movie caught me off guard in the same way Splice did earlier this year.

The first thing I have to say is that actor Patrick Fabian is terrific and effective as the faith-doubting evangelical minister Cotton Marcus who believes that the practice of exorcisms is a complete scam. People (mainly children) are being harmed and in some cases killed in the middle of the process.  He decides to film a documentary to prove how wrong these exorcisms are.  Fabian gives his character energy, charm and humanity.  In one scene while giving a sermon in church, he preaches a banana bread recipe to prove a point that it does not matter what he says in church, people are listening to his delivery, not his words.

Cotton decides to travel to Georgia and visit the Sweetzer family when he gets a letter from Louis Sweetzer (Louis Herthum) that his daughter is possessed by a demon. Cotton’s film crew is along for the ride and we watch the whole movie from the cameraman’s point of view.  I also must say that aside from a couple of scenes involving running, the whole shaky camera thing is under control. You should not get a headache while watching this movie. 

The children of the Sweetzer family are Caleb (Caleb Landry Jones) Nell (Ashley Bell).  When we first meet Nell, she is a very polite and sweet teenage girl.  Nell and her brother have been home schooled by their father since they lost their mother to cancer. Louis decided to keep his children away from the influences of the outside world.

Cotton does not believe that Nell is really possessed and he even performs a fake exorcism to prove it for his film.  After that, things get even worse. Cotton and his film crew believe that Nell is psychotic not possessed.   Throughout the film, we are questioning what’s really going on.
Ashley Bell is mesmerizing as Nell.  When she is not possessed or crazy, she is sweet but scared & confused. You do not feel like her character is pretending, you believe her.  When she is in her other state, her stare is downright creepy.

There are a few little scary moments in The Last Exorcism but the movie is not about the scares, it’s about the building tension and self questioning.   I am sure a majority of the people who see The Last Exorcism will feel cheated by the ending we are given, but I wasn’t. I feel the film was ended on the right note.   It’s not often that we get such a well crafted and well acted horror film, so I suggest you give it a chance, even if you think the film looks too scary from the trailers, trust me…it’s worth the risk.

Mixtape: DJ Automatic Presents Common – Theater of the Mind (Mixtale)



“The reason I chose Common for this project is that he is not only one of my favorite MC’s of all time,” says Automatic, “but he has an entire career of music behind him that young music lovers don’t necessarily know. They see him in movies and have heard his newer releases but have no idea that Common was one of the rawest MC’s throughout the 90′s. Although I have followed his career from jump, it was still an honor to sit down with him in person and let him take me on his personal journey.”

The Switch: Movie Review


The funniest moment in the new film The Switch arrives within the first 2 minutes, involving a mentally disturbed man standing on the street corner and has absolutely nothing to do with the story whatsoever.  It’s a shame too because even though Jason Bateman has been around since the early 80’s, It hasn’t been till this past decade where he has really made a name for himself and has stopped being referred to as that guy who starred in Teen Wolf Too. 

Bateman plays Wally Mars, a neurotic guy who’s best friend Kassie (Jennifer Aniston) has recently turned 40 and decides this is the point in her life to have a baby. Since Kassie is single, she decides to look for a sperm donor, and she finds one in Roland (Patrick Wilson).  Wally’s bottled up feelings for Kassie causes him to get completely drunk during her “getting pregnant” party. In the midst of his drunken state, he replaces Roland’s sperm with his own.  Because Wally was so intoxicated while making the switch, he does not even remember doing it the next morning.

Cut to 7 years later, Kassie decides to move back home with her now  6 year old son Sebastian (played by the way to cute for words Thomas Robinson).  Once Wally meets Sebastian he slowly starts to realize that there are way too many similarities between the kid and himself to be just a coincidence.

Bateman is fine as Wally but I just wish he was given better material to work with. Aniston on the other hand is exactly the same as she is in most of her films.  I really can’t understand why she is so popular other than the fact that she is very likeable. I just do not find her interesting at all.

I would love to give a special mention to Jeff Goldblum who is just terrific as Wally’s friend Leonard. He steals every scene he is in. Even Juliette Lewis reminded me why I think she should work more, but I know she rather be on tour with her band.   I wish both actors were inserted into more of the film, it might have livened it up a bit.

The Switch is not a bad movie by any means, but I just do not feel it’s worth your $10 at a theater.  This is the type of movie that you might watch at home on cable or a DVD without shutting it off halfway through, but you most likely won’t be thinking too much about it once it’s over

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: Movie Review


There has been so much hype built around the new film Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.  Even before filming began, fans of the graphic novel were excited this story was making it’s transition to the big screen, and the first step in the right direction was bringing in visionary director Edger Wright (Shawn of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) in to helm the project. Wright does a near-perfect job blending the pop-culture visuals & sounds with comedy, action, and heart.  There is definitely a whole lot of creativity thrown in there and it never lets up.  Every few minutes that pass during the movie, you are given another reason to love it.

Granted, S.P.v.t.W. is not for everybody, I can’t picture many people over the age of 40 digging the film.  I am 36 years old myself and I felt like this movie was custom made just for my taste.  I would say that aside from Toy Story 3, this was the best time I had at the movies this summer so far. I should also tell you that I am not familiar with the graphic novels that the film is based on, so that should not be an issue for others who are unfamiliar with the characters as well.

Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera) is a bassist in a rock band named Sex Bob-Omb, living in Toronto, Ca. with his openly gay roommate Wallace (Kieran Culkin) and dating a 17 year high school girl named Knives (the extremely adorable Ellen Wong).  Scott is in his mid 20’s, so his friends are constantly telling him to stop dating a high school girl.  One day, Scott meets a mysterious new girl in town named Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and he becomes obsessed with her right away.  When he finally asks her out, Scott is challenged to a duel by what turns out to be the first of Ramona’s 7 evil ex-boyfriends, all of whom have a special power.  Scott learns that he must defeat each of Ramona’s evil ex’s to win her heart.

Not all of the evil ex’s are created equal, there are a few that stand out above the others.  One of them would be Lucas Lee (Chris Evans).  Lee is a big Hollywood action star that confronts Scott Pilgrim along with all of Lee’s stunt doubles who join in on the fight.  Evans really knows how to play this cocky character for laughs.  I also feel Chris Evans was a great choice to play the new Captain America because he winds up being one of the best part of almost any movie he is in (The Losers, Fantastic 4).

You also have Todd Ingram (Former Superman himself Brandon Routh). Todd is another one of the 7 evil ex’s, but this time he is a super-powered vegan.  Yep, he gets his powers from not eating any meat or dairy products.  Not only is Todd an evil ex, but he is also the current boyfriend of Scott’s ex-girlfriend who dumped him and broke his heart years earlier.  I find Routh’s vegan/metro-sexual evil ex to be quite funny.

The other evil ex’s are played by Jason Schwartzman, Satya Bhabha, and a few others.  Though the best thing about S.P.v.t.W. is not the battles, but how the whole film is put together.  You can tell just by watching the film that it was made by fans.  Even though, I am not familiar with the source material, I can tell that they completely respected the story.  I also love that none of the women in this movie are victims, the men and women are treated as equals. The women fight just as hard as the men.  There is a great fight between Ramona, Scott and an evil ex-girlfriend that she met during her bi-sexual phase.

Scott Pilgrim is a work of art that is completely refreshing and it couldn’t have come at a better time.  During a summer of mediocrity, it is nice to be able to do something that I feel I haven’t been able to do much of lately….that is write a good review.
