Alfre Woodard on Crooklyn (1994) for R29:

“To my knowledge, we hadn’t seen a Black family that was just presented as we are in life, as human beings,” Woodard said. “I get told in Belgium by white Belgians ‘I love Crooklyn, it reminds me of growing up.’ Which is what happens when you tell a story from a specific point of view, you don’t have to mention race. You didn’t get up this morning like ‘I’m a black woman that wants a cup of coffee.’ You just want a cup of coffee. It was us as we are. Just us being fabulous, complex, funny, delightful, and making ends meet. And seeing, even within that story, that we’re not monolithic...The specificity is what makes it universal. Diversity is not the point; showing reality is the point.”

Star Trek First Contact was released on November 22, 1996. It was the second Star Trek film to feature the crew of The Next Generation and was directed by TNG actor Jonathan Frakes. It is reported to be one of the favorites of the TNG actors and of the TNG ST films, a fan favorite. It was the highest grossing Star Trek film until 2009. Fan favorite villians the Borg were brought back. The Borg traveled back in time to prevent the first warp drive trip and the Earth's first contact with Vulcans on April 5, 2374 (a date chosen as it was the birthday of screenwriter Ronald D Moore's son). The USS Enterprise traveled back to April 4, 2374 to make sure history stayed on track. Geordi (LeVar Burton) finally got optical implants and was able to get rid of his visor. The higher budget also allowed the film makers to better realize the Borg. Robert Picardo from Star Trek Voyager made a cameo as Emergency Medical Hologram. The character of Zefram Cochrane, who made the historic flight, first appeared in the Star Trek TOS episode "Metamorphosis" (1967) and was played by Glenn Corbett. In this version, Cochrane was played by James Cromwell. ("Star Trek: First Contact", Movie Event)
