Sistas coming to save the day
Hidden Figures
This may be one time when the phrase “based on the incredible true story” is actually true. Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer and Janelle Monáe play three of the scientists and engineers at NASA who worked on the space program. Based on a book of the same name, the movie focuses on their challenges and triumphs as they helped to launch John Glen into space. Eye candy provided by Straight Outta Compton‘s Aldis Hodge and House of Cards‘ Mahershala Ali. The bad news is, we have to wait until January for this treat.
Come for: Janelle Monae’s saucy character dropping gems like: “Every time we have a chance to get ahead, they move the finish line. Every time.”
Stay for: Original music by Pharrell Williams.
