POPULAR DENVER FILM CRITIC DIES
August
Denver radio and television film critic Reggie McDaniel, 60, has died. Known for his signature colorful suits, smile and outgoing personality Reggie fans followed him on Denver’s KOA Radio, KWGN, 9NEWS and the STARZ cable network.
“Most film critics are not as outgoing as Reggie,” said Laurence Washington, Co-Publisher of Blackflix.com. “But when you would walk into a movie theatre to review a film, you could always find Reggie wearing one of his loud colorful suits and matching shoes holding court with his many fans. He was one of a kind.”
Reggie’s fans could read his reviews on the "Everyday Peoples Entertainment Guide" on the Internet. Reggie has battled emphysema, diabetes and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis for a number of years. He had quit carried his air tank for several years. He said God sent a message to him through a visiting evangelist at his church. The man told Reggie that he was healed and that God had something for him to do — and dying wasn’t part of the plan. However, recently Reggie started carrying his air tank again.
Reggie is survived by one child: Nadirah A Mbaruk. Services will be held Saturday, Aug. 28 at My Father's House, 14700 E. Mississippi in Aurora.
NO A-TEAM CAMEO FOR MR. T
June
A-Team” is that one remake everyone has been waiting for and it’s just about here. While the movie is expected to packed with action, glorious man-ness, and great fighting scenes, cameos of the original team members are sure to catch audiences’ attention. But there will be one face everyone will be looking for, Mr. T. UFC fighter, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, has adopted B.A. Baracus, originally played by the one and only Mr. T. But why ain’t the O.G. gonna be in the flick? “My thing with T was, I brought him down to the editorial and showed him a lot of the film, and he loved it and laughted and was very supportive and seemed to really dig Rampage in that role,” director Joe Carnahan told MTV News. “I thought, where T is concerned, if there’s ever going to be a cameo, you don’t burn your powder. I think that’s a guy you save potentially for something bigger.” Something bigger you say? Does that mean there may be a part two? We have yet to see as the picture hits theatres this Friday. Despite not having met his “idol,” Rampage of course is excited and honored to have played such a historical role. “I’m such a big fan of Mr. T’s,” he said. “There’s no way you can fill his shoes. He’s the man.” T never showed up to the premiere.
