But Have They
Had Enough?
By Tyree Johnson
Editor/Publisher
Even grown men cried.
They held a candlelight
vigil for Robert Lewis last
Wednesday on the corner of
57th and Rodman Street - just
north of Cedar Avenue.
That’s where Robert
Lewis, 53, took his last breath
after being shot to death during an argument Saturday

makes it harder for him/her to catch-up
• Therefore, the child who is behind will be
at a disadvantage and then must play “catch-up”
• Studies have shown that the child who performs
poorly the first six weeks of the school year will suffer
a loss of confidence

When I had first watched
the Warner Brother Pictures'
“The Lottery Ticket,” a comedy starring Bow Wow, Ice
Cube, Brandon T. Jackson,
Naturi Naughton, Keith
David, Loretta Devine,
Charlie Q Murphy(Eddie
Murphy’s brother) and Terry
Crews, this brought back a
flashback of the summer of
August 1986, the very first
and only time that I played
the lottery!
And speaking about the
lottery I recently had the
chance to join my friend Actress-Dancer-Singer Debra T.
Smallwood to do a telephone
interview with Bow Wow,
Brandon T. Jackson and
Naturi Naughton, who were
at one of Los Angeles,
California’s lavish and stylish hotels' to talk about their
starring roles.
I received the opportunity to get the interview
started by asking Bow Wow
the first question.
“When audiences leave

movie theatres after watching “Lottery Ticket.” besides
being entertained by this film,
would you also like them to
leave with a message gained
from it too?
“Well Lottery Ticket is a
funny movie but, it’s also got
an important message at its
core," he explained. “And you
know man for my character,

of events that follows also

got to make sure you have the
most loyal people around
you!"
My friend Debra asked
the next question of Comedian-Actor Brandon T. Jackson.
What was it like on the
movie set and do you consider this film to be more than
just another comedy?
“It was fun. We had a
good time, he said. “The
chemistry between Bow
Wow and Naturi is like our
chemistry in this movie. But
this film was like a spring
break, like everybody just
having fun. It didn’t feel like
we were filming."
I then asked Naturi
Naughton the last question.
“Naturi, You gave excellent performances in “Fame,”
and ‘Notorious.” What inspired you to appear in a comedy?
“Wow, well Lottery
Ticket kinda came to me
while I was in L.A., where I
would connect with Erik
White, the director of this
movie," she explained. "He
has been following my career ever since the time we
worked together."
"Ever since then I realized when I read the script, I
wanted to be involved because it wasn’t just a comedy. It was a comedy I felt
that was going to make us
think about what we should
be doing with our money or
how we should be giving back
to our communities and I like
that premise.!”
I found this film to be an
enjoyable, hilarious and entertaining where everyone in
this motion picture really taps
into a similar rhythm and
momentum and that’s what
makes “Lottery Ticket,” so
funny and real! And this is a
movie that I highly recommend to check out this weekend.
