Khartoum – 2025 Sundance Film Festival 

February 13, 2025 By: superuser

(***) Once upon a time it would be hard for Americans to imagine themselves in this position. As startled citizens of a destabilized country forced to flee. The crisis in Sudan started with a 30-year dictatorship, then an unstable civil government and military coup. Citizens ran from a country that imploded from a government ravaged […]

How to Build a Library – 2025 Sundance Film Festival 

February 13, 2025 By: superuser

(**1/2) “I was actually trying to find books today by African authors and I could not,” says a patron of the Macmillan Memorial Library in Nairobi Kenya.  The building was erected in 1931 by a white British American settler family. It’s desperately in need of some TLC and its founders would be shocked to know […]

Sly Lives! (aka The Burden of Black Genius)

February 7, 2025 By: superuser

(***)  “In the beginning it was all about the music. Then it became all about other things,” says a former band member.  That’s the path of many bright, famous musicians. Struggle. It’s all about the art. Breakthrough. Success. Excess. Downward spiral. Comeback. Fizzle under the weight of drugs, drink and celebrity. That’s the tale this informative […]

Ricky — 2025 Sundance Film Festival — Filmmaker Rashad Frett wins “Directing Award: U.S. Dramatic”   

February 4, 2025 By: superuser

(**1/2) What is life like after being locked up in prison from age 15 to 30? How do you adjust to an outside world without the human development skills your contemporaries have? Writer/director Rashad Frett has a clue and fathoms it, along with co-screenwriter Lin Que Ayoung, in his intense, harsh reality, post-incarceration drama.    Ricardo “Ricky” Smith […]

No Other Land

January 24, 2025 By: superuser

(****)  “They shot my son in front of me. I lifted his head and his blood poured on me.” The people of Masafer Yatta are brave in the face of genocide. Their beautiful mountainous region, home of 20 ancient Palestinian villages on the West Bank, is being encroached upon. Homes and businesses are being demolished. Thankfully the […]

One of Them Days

January 17, 2025 By: superuser

(**1/2)  They’re girlz in the hood. Two young women trying to make it from Friday to Next Friday and Friday After Next. And as they do, they take viewers on a journey through working class Los Angeles that feels like it was ripped from the past and updated with a modern feminist twist.   The film’s comedy roots are showing. It’s […]

Mufasa: The Lion King

December 28, 2024 By: superuser

(***)  “Every being has a place in the circle of life,” and “No more kings, we are all one.” Those lines of dialogue sum up the two major themes of this entertaining prequel/sequel. It’s the successor to 2019’s photorealistic/animated The Lion King ($1.6B international box office), which was the live-action version of the 1994 traditionally animated The Lion King ($981M).   […]

A world-renowned rainforest, tasty cuisine, friendly people and a fun nightlife are also great reasons to vacation on this tropical island. San Juan is Vibrant San Juan, […]

Gladiator II

November 25, 2024 By: superuser

(***)  Back in the third century, Rome was the heart of the vast Roman Empire, and its Colosseum was the heart of the city.   That’s where the rich, poor and otherwise gathered for events. Gladiator fights. Contests between man and beasts. Executions. Even nautical battles, when they’d flood the floor of the world’s largest amphitheater […]
