The Yellow Birds

June 10, 2018 By: superuser

If mood were an actor, it would get top billing in this poignant ode to veterans of the Iraq war who suffer from PTSD. The feeling of sadness that prevails is even stronger than the solid performances by Alden Ehrenreich (Solo: A Star Wars Story), Tye Sheridan (Mud, X-Men: Apocalypse), Jennifer Aniston (Horrible Bosses), Jack […]

Anita  Baker’s Farewell Tour Crowns the 2018 Capital Jazz Festival

June 5, 2018 By: superuser

The 26thAnnual Capital Jazz Festival beckoned thousands of music lovers to the Merriweather Post Pavilion in downtown Columbia, Maryland. Since 1993, it’s become a tradition that has several givens: 1.) Stellar musical lineups. 2.) African American adults gather for the artists and the camaraderie with elaborate picnics, tents and tailgating—without the cars. 3.) Iffy weather […]

Solo: A Star Wars Story

May 21, 2018 By: superuser

Two things hit you over the head once this 2hr 15m Star Wars edition finishes: 1.) It’s cool that it coyly pulls together characters, in their younger selves, that will know each other in the future. 2.) Given so much goodwill and creative capital, why did the filmmakers squander the moment with a weak script, dull […]

Deadpool 2

May 15, 2018 By: superuser

In the pantheon of comic book hero movies, Deadpool set itself apart from the herd. It was ultra-violent, pansexual, hysterical, unapologetically sarcastic, frenetic and broke the 4thwall down with a sledgehammer. The deeply droll and irreverent Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds played the vomit-faced superhero. The script by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick took audiences down a […]

Boom for Real: The Late Teenage Years of Jean-Michel Basquiat

May 7, 2018 By: superuser

 The very creative Jean-MichelBasquiat died at age 27 in 1988. His legend as an urban artist, clothing designer, painter and musician are on view in this informative and perfectly rendered (director/writer Sara Driver) retelling of his formative teenage years.   Rapper/entrepreneur Fab 5 Freddy, graffiti artist Lee Quiñones (star of the classic hip-hop movie Wild […]

Black Films and Artists Highlight the 2018 Tribeca Film Festival

April 30, 2018 By: superuser

  The 17thannual Tribeca Film Festival provided an urban showcase for 96 feature films. The fest’s documentaries outshined the narrative and international features, while a host of TV shows, shorts, tech seminars, immersive experiences and special events also filled out the programming.   Black films, filmmakers, actors and artists basked in the glow of a […]

Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami

April 9, 2018 By: superuser

Grace Jones is a pioneer,  an androgynous model who became a singer, actress and performance artist all rolled up into one. She well deserves a comprehensive biofilm, one that her fans can appreciate and new admirers can adore.   This unique, 10-year in the making slice-of-life documentary may not be what her most ardent followers […]

A Quiet Place

March 29, 2018 By: superuser

What you’ll hear and see in this topnotch horror/thriller has got to be one of the best uses of sound deprivation and sound effects ever blended together in any movie.   With the release of Get Out last year, the horror genre has blown up big time. It’s no longer limited to your granddaddy’s Frankenstein. […]

Pacific Rim Uprising

March 20, 2018 By: superuser

  In case you were wondering if British Actor John Boyega had any star power outside of the Star Wars franchise, he does. He uses it to carry this likable sci-fi/action/fantasy film on his shoulders.   Pacific Rim Uprising is the kind of matinee movie you can send your tweens and teens to and not […]

A Wrinkle in Time

March 8, 2018 By: superuser

The science fiction fantasy novel A Wrinkle in Time, written in 1962 by Madeleine L’Engle, won the prestigious Newbery Medal. The author had a fascination with quantum physics and her novel reflected that interest as it explored themes of good versus evil. Initially, over 20 publishers turned down the book.   The author felt that […]
