Trap 2024
“These seats slap, Dad. Thank you… This is literally the best day of my life.”
So, I went to the Lady Raven concert last Friday and there were swarms of police surrounding the place. My first thought was a bomb threat, but apparently there was a serial killer there in attendance with me…
On a serious note, this may be the most pleasant surprise I've had in theaters this year. M. Night Shyamalan taps into his inner-Hitchcock for his latest… -
National Anthem 2023
“I’ve been alone long enough to know that it’s not for me.”
Gay cowboys, rodeos, drag, family and the American Dream. National Anthem is a beautifully touching and empathetic look into the life of a young, white, queer male and his journey to find love and oneself in rural America. Without a doubt the sweetest, most optimistic, and hopeful pieces of entertainment I’ve seen this year. Especially with the film taking place in a conservative rural area of New Mexico,…

Good One 2024
“This is my future. I don’t understand when it became so untethered.”
Manages to establish its main characters within the first 5-10 minutes. Is able to make the mundanity of life and nature oh so beautiful and cinematic. This has a deeply immersive, lived in feel to it that I just loved.
Good One was clearly the lo-fi drama I needed this season. Not only is it extremely gorgeous to look at and soothing to listen to, but it also…

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice 2024
“The juice is loose.”
Absolutely rips. Tim Burton showing us that he’s still got the juice. In a return to form, he proves that he can still be just as creative, wacky, and fun as he once was in his prime.
I may be one of the single few who enjoy this just as much as the original, if not more. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is one of the few great legacy sequels this century; right up there with Creed and Top…

A Thousand and One 2023
“No one gives a fuck about black women, except for other black women, and even that shit get messy.”
An authentic portrait of black womanhood, motherhood, and the constant fight against inequality. A mother and son versus the system, stuck with limited options, as everything around them changes rapidly. The only constant being their situation, their love for one another and the family they’ve built. All the mother wants and works towards is a better opportunity for her son than…

The Silent Twins 2022
The power of imagination.
I seem to be in the minority here–although it doesn't look like many have seen this yet–but I really enjoyed "The Silent Twins." Based on the novel of the same name (based on true story), this is the story of June and Jennifer Gibbons–two young black twin sisters who inhabit a white world. Growing up in the 70s as the only black family in their town of Wales, they went to an all white school and…
