Washington, D.C. Metro – October 13, 2009 – Poptimal.com continues to ascend into the DC’s pop culture elite by adding movie swami Jamal Henry to its management arsenal. Henry replaces Keith Robinson, who has now assumed the role of Managing Editor for the website, as Manager of Movie Content.
Henry is a native New Yorker but also spent a large portion of his youth in Jackson, Mississippi. During college, he lived in Europe for a brief stint during which time he was exposed to the global cinema scene. However, he admits that he will always be a child of the 80’s and as such, absolutely loves Teen Angst and Sci-Fi media that provides the right balance of sarcasm and cheese to “rot your mind.”
Editor-in-Chief of Poptimal.com, Zuberi Williams, stated: “We are excited about having Jamal on board. Anyone who speaks with him realizes in a matter of minutes that Jamal is a movie aficionado. Bring your ‘A game’ when you discuss your opinions about the latest Burton, Coen Brothers, or Soderbergh films. We are putting together a world class management team with worldwide ties, Jamal (Henry) fits right in.”

Henry is a native New Yorker but also lived a good portion of his youth in Jackson, Mississippi. He has master degrees in everything from Computer Science to International Relations; thus, we are trying to find out why he is still a Buffalo Bills fan. As a child of the 80s he absolutely loves Teen Angst and Sci-Fi, requiring just the right balance of sarcasm and cheese to ‘rot your mind’. Not shy about his love of movies, Henry states:
“I think that movies’ primary goals should be to entertain; if they fail to accomplish this then no one will care what else they are trying to say . . . If you can’t make fun and laugh at a really bad ‘B’ movie (think Howling 7) while at the same time have the ability to appreciate quality acting in a movie like Crash then you clearly don’t go to the movies every week like me.”
