I'm absolutely devastated.
So many thoughts are running through my head after watching this. It is, without a doubt, the most painful story I've seen in a good while.
I'm reminded of the privilege of having been able to see star Olly Alexander's band Years & Years (one of my favorites) live in concert a short while before this pandemic changed everything. I feel so very lucky for that privilege and not just because of it being a precious opportunity that…

Take it from this seemingly perpetually snow-saddled Midwest-dweller, Barb and Star is a supremely welcome dose of sunny hysterical bliss courtesy of two very funny women who really get the good-natured folks of the heartland and especially what true friendship is all about. Plus: Jamie Dornan is even hotter / more likeable than you think and a tween star is born in Reyn Doi! You can't go wrong with it! Watch it if…
Simmering on a steadily increasing heat, Shaka King's throttling voyage into the Black Panther movement is haunting and indelibly memorable. Daniel Kaluuya, once again proving that he's operating on a whole other dimension, commands every ounce of his screentime with a determination that you can see battling the weariness of his Chairman's endlessly uphill war.

I loved the trio at the heart of this and felt deeply invested in their journeys, rooting for them at every turn. That said, I couldn't shake the feeling that this film was not made by black voices. Things like white savior-leaning touches and the clear sugarcoating of the…
Wholesome Latino and Black representation in a horror film. We love to see it!
Vampires vs. the Bronx is much more than the latest Netflix flavor of the week. In it's modest way, this mainstream-friendly vamp-hunting jaunt is a big deal, not only because it is led by a trio of adorable kids who happen to be people of color, but because it also manages to imbue a dusty genre mainstay with a vitally urgent message that is very much…
"You know what kind of plan never fails? No plan. No plan at all. You know why? Because life cannot be planned."
As a young child, I would often look at massive estates that passed us by as I sat in the backseat of my parents' car during our leisurely drives and wonder what it would take to end up living in such fenced-in opulence. Since then, I still find myself taking the odd daydream stroll in these extravagant lifestyles.…
