I don’t mind admitting Chicago is an amazing musical that holds up just as well today as it did 10 years ago and still deserving of its 6 Academy Awards including Best Picture.

The Equalizer: Season Two continues the drama series starring Queen Latifah, Tory Kittles, Adam Goldberg, Liza Lapira, Laya DeLeon and Lorraine Toussaint. The DVD comes out on September 20th.
The Equalizer: Season One has its moments and can say it was pretty entertaining; I just have questions whether Queen Latifah was the right fit as McCall as there seems to be better options out there.
With the success of the Barbershop movies, and with at the time Queen Latifah’s growing fame following her Academy Award nomination for her supporting role in Chicago, it’s no surprise there would be a spin-off with Beauty Shop which had a good heart at its core.
