Oh my god. Ladies and gentlemen you need to see this movie. The premise of Hustlers is simple. It’s based on a true story that was featured in New York Magazine. A group of strippers form a posse to make extra money by scamming their Wall Street clients. The story is told through the eyes…

Luce is a mind bending thriller from director Julius Onah. I wasn’t so much on the edge of my seat as I was flat against my seat holding my breath. The twists and turns in this movie were outrageous. Onah built the pace at a painstakingly slow quiver, withholding information and dishing out false information…

Let’s talk about a movie I loved. It’s called The Peanut Butter Falcon and it stars Shia LaBeouf, Dakota Johnson, and Zack Gottsagen. With a summer chock full of action movies and blockbusters (I am not complaining, I love me some Hobbs and Shaw as much as the next person), it was refreshing to watch…

I was initially interested in seeing Them That Follow because one of my absolute favorites, Olivia Colman is in it. And she is sporting a hilarious Southern accent, which I felt I needed to experience. The plot isn’t really my thing but here it is, in case it happens to be your thing. Mara (Alice…

Director Jennifer Kent’s The Nightingale is an absolutely brutal film. Seriously, if you are squeamish then you need to stay away. There are five rape scenes in this film. It is not the kind of movie where you eat popcorn and drink a soda. That being said, if you can stomach the violence and brutality,…

Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am came out a few months ago. It was brought back to theaters after Toni Morrison passed away on August 5th of this year. I didn’t get around to watching it, so when I saw it was back in theaters I immediately jumped at the chance to go. I’ve only…

Once Upon a Time…In Hollywood is the latest movie from director Quentin Tarantino. Its release has prompted many lists ranking each Tarantino film and trying to decide which is his best. I don’t have a list like that because I haven’t seen every Tarantino film. There are a lot of Tarantino die-hards but I am…
