No longer children, the actors who played Alfalfa, Darla, Spanky, Buckwheat, Porky, Stymie, and even bad guys Waldo, Woim and Butch all took part in the reunion shoot, where they dressed up in their characters' costumes to recreate a few memorable scenes.The entire shoot was orchestrated by Brian Pocrass at 22 Vision, who tells toofab he chose the movie because "It's one of those films that everyone grows up with, they haven't been reunited and it's a fan favorite."For most of the stars, they hadn't seen each other since promoting the film back in 1994."20 years," Bug Hall (Alfalfa) tells toofab.

"We've got a dollar, we've got a dollar, we've got a dollar, hey, hey, hey, hey."
If you were a child of the '90s -- or a parent or grandparent-- you probably know what movie we're referencing. In 1994, "The Little Rascals" introduced a younger generation to a group of seven-year-old "womun" haters who refused to play nice with girls. After all, they did have cooties.
Based on the famed "Our Gang" series of short films -- which aired on television under the name "Little Rascals" -- the family comedy focused on how things started to change for the He-Man Women Hater's Club when Alfalfa (Bug Hall), club member and best friend to president Spanky (Travis Tedford), got a girlfriend (Brittany Ashton Holmes).
Alfalfa may have gotten more screen time (and one of the most memorable hairdos in movie history), but the other rascals -- Buckwheat (Ross Bagley), Stymie (Kevin Jamal Woods...

Most audiences might know Jackie Cooper as Perry White in four Superman movies. Or for his role in 1931′s The Champ. Or for his appearance in Skippy, which made him the first child actor to ever be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor. But, to me, the actor — who passed away Tuesday at the age of 88 after a brief illness — will always be known as Our Gang’s Jackie.
Perhaps it was because I was an old soul, or both my parents enjoyed catching re-runs of the series when they were youths, but I grew up on Our Gang,...

In my quest to figure out good Xmas and Kwanzaa gifts for my people this year, I realized we always recommend movies, DVD’s and VODs, but I’ve seldom read about good books here on S&A. So, I’ve compile a great list for of Black cinephile-based books for the filmgoing audience. Some you’re definitely familiar with, others maybe not, but nonetheless here it is:
Donald Bogle’s books
I’ve been reading Bogle’s books for 20 years now, so considering I’m just on the precipice of my (eek!) mid-30’s, that’s saying a lot of the amount of Black film knowledge that he’s imparted to the masses for decades.
Toms, Coons, Mulattoes, Mammies & Bucks
Arguably Bogle’s greatest, if not simply his best known book, “Toms…” is the definitive study of American Black film images going back to the beginning with Birth of...
