Millennials continues this Thursday with the fifth episode of its thrilling freshman season.
In a new exclusive clip of the Allblk original series, Omar finds himself in an intense situation when he realizes that he's falling for his roommate's sister.
The clip shows Omar opening up about it, and it features the signature comedy that has become synonymous with the show.
It's clear Omar has strong feelings for Lauren, but he crumbles when it comes to telling Travis anything about it.
Instead, Omar confides in one of his friends, but the scene is interrupted when Travis walks in the room, leaving us on quite the cliffhanger as we wait to find out what happens next.
Here's the logline for the episode:
Travis' sister, Lauren comes for a visit and crushes hard on Omar. Travis sends a clear message that his sister is off limits, but Omar somehow finds himself in a romantic entanglement.

Is Todd about to have a child after a one night stand?
That's the big question in this exclusive clip from Allblk's comedy series Millennials.
The clip finds Todd confiding in Bernie, who says the following after hearing Todd's concern.
"The Wap has made you a Pop.”
It's a comical scene (below) and one that perfectly showcases this relatively new comedy series.
The six-episode series features Omar (Kyle Massey), a straight-laced business student with dreams of taking over the corporate world, urging his goofball friends Jaheem (Keraun "King Keraun" Harris), a personal trainer; Travis (Philip Bolden), an insecure YouTuber; and college dropout Todd (Aaron Grady) to get their acts together.
In each episode, the friends' schemes and antics make it abundantly clear that none of them have it all figured out-- except maybe, their hardworking neighbor Mercedes (Teresa "Topnotch" Celeste), an aspiring actress from Atlanta who often serves as...

AMC Networks is in the midst of rebranding Umc, or Urban Movie Network, the SVOD service founded by BET founder Robert L. Johnson in February of 2015. Now titled Allblk, the streaming platform features “urban-themed” series and movies, including the channel’s library of live stand-up performances by Kevin Hart, Jamie Foxx and Charlie Murphy, as well documentary films, reality series and stage plays. A direct competitor to the more recognizable BET+, chief content officer Brett Dismuke is hoping a new slate of original programming will help position Allblk as the “premiere streaming destination for black creators and storytellers.”
Speaking to the virtual Ctam Winter 2021 Press Tour on Thursday, Dismuke said he hoped a renewed industry support for Black creatives and stories would usher in renewed excitement for Allblk. “While we’ve updated our brand, what remains unwavering is our commitment to representation and identifying new and emerging talent both in...

Film: ‘Fly Me To The Moon’; Director: Ben Stassen; Voiceovers: Trevor Gagnon, Philip Bolden, David Gore, Christopher Lloyd, Tim Curry, Robert Partick, Kelly Ripa; Rating: **
There’s something about kids and dreams. They do not follow logic. But neither does anything worthwhile that has ever happened in the world. Yet scared elders dissuade children from following their dreams because they have burnt their fingers doing so.
‘Fly Me To The Moon’ suggests that one should follow one’s.

Well, it’s one small step for computer animated films and one giant leap in the evolution of the 3D cinema. Okay, that may be blowing it’s accomplishments a bit out of proportion, but nWave Pictures’ “Fly Me to the Moon” sets out to blow away the senses in the first animated feature length film to be created for the sole purpose of being presented in 3D.With such industry giants like Dreamworks and Disney and it’s reigning kings of computer animation Pixar, the summer and holiday season is usually a foregone conclusion when it comes to what types animated films will dominate the box office. “Fly Me to the Moon” goes all out and reaches for the stars in this technically brilliant but otherwise flimsy and barely fleshed out adventure.The film tells the story of Nat (Trevor Gagnon), a young fly living in a junk yard...

Fly Me to the Moon Directed by: Ben Stassen Cast: Christopher Lloyd, Tim Curry, Trevor Gagnon, Philip Daniel Bolden, David Gore Time: 1.5 hours Rating: G Plot: In 1969 Nasa plans to launch the first manned mission to the moon. Excited about the opportunity, three young flies plan stow away on the Apollo 11 space flight in an attempt to be the first insects on the moon. Who’s It For? This one is for the young kids who haven't yet had the experience of 3D on the big screen. Old enough that they can sit for 90 minutes with 3D glasses on but there's probably not enough substance for the over 10 crowd. Expectations: I haven't seen a lot of buzz (pun intended) about the movie except that it's in 3D. I hold any animated movie to...

With the summer's end in sight, this week might represent the last hurrah in the name of good fun before the gloomy, Oscar-baiting seriousness of the fall release schedule descends upon us. Woody's back, there's a grindhouse/B-movie double header, and in the realm of blockbuster comedy, it's the wily veteran versus the young upstart as Ben Stiller battles Seth Rogen in an all-out race to the stupid.
"Anita O'Day: The Life of a Jazz Singer"
Although she was overshadowed by such greats as Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday, Anita O'Day became one of the "three queens of Jazz," in spite of an artform dominated by African-Americans and her struggle with her own personal demons. In this documentary, the famed white jazz vocalist reflects on nearly 70 years in the spotlight, not merely performing jazz, but living it as a lifestyle.

This review was written for the theatrical release of "Are We Done Yet?"
Mr. Cube builds his dream house in "Are We Done Yet?" which essentially takes the "Are We There Yet?" characters and grafts them into the basic plot line for the classic RKO comedy "Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House," in which Cary Grant played Mr. Blandings, a man who predated "Green Acres' " Oliver Douglas by a couple of decades.
While the refurbished version would never be taken as an improvement over the original, it makes for a generally inoffensive hour-and-a-half, and with a certifiably gonzo John C. McGinley providing the bulk of the laughs, it is definitely less obnoxious than those "Cheaper by the Dozen" remakes.
It also is better than the 2005 Ice Cube comedy that still managed to gross a highly respectable $82 million. Given the new film's pre-Easter weekend release strategy, it should play well with kids and home improvement fanatics, though others could find themselves relating to the title on more than one occasion.
The last time we saw Ice Cube's Nick Persons, he was trapped in an SUV with two kids traveling from Portland to Vancouver. Now fully domesticated, Nick, his bride, Suzanne (Nia Long), and her two growing children (Aleisha Allen, Philip Daniel Bolden) are finding his former bachelor pad a little cramped, and with twins on the way, bigger quarters are required sooner rather than later.
They find the sprawling house of their dreams in the rural Pacific Northwest (courtesy of British Columbia), which affords lots of fresh air and lakeside views. It also proves to be a major money pit, but Persons is so taken in by a local real estate agent's ("Scrubs" regular McGinley) slick sales pitch, he fails to notice all the telltale signs.
As it turns out, McGinley's ingratiating Chuck Mitchell Jr. wears a number of hats, including building inspector and contractor, and before Nick knows what has hit him, Chuck has moved his Airstream trailer into the Persons' yard to oversee the neverending renovations.
Directed by Steve Carr, who helmed Ice Cube's "Next Friday", and adapted by Hank Nelken ("Saving Silverman"), the picture delivers the requisite number of pratfalls, and the genial Ice Cube makes for a credibly hapless everyman, but the comedy still feels a little too safely soft around the edges. A little more inspiration could have made it something enjoyable instead of simply innocuous.
Visually, cinematographer Jack Green, a frequent Clint Eastwood collaborator, effectively captures all those unobstructed, picture-perfect vistas. Production designer Nina Ruscio rightfully lends the house a distinctive character of its own.
Should the Persons family return for another sequel, here's hoping they at least don't take another dip into the RKO vault and turn "Citizen Kane" into "Are We Rich Yet?"
