The Best Films 2015
Movies have become a great comfort in what has been a tumultuous year. They’ve entertained us. Made us laugh, feel courageous, scared, romantic and educated us too. It’s a perfect time to reflect on the films, performances and black artists who made 2015 special. And might as well get a head start on the high-quality […]
Son of Saul
In a dimly lit room naked people are herded towards a chamber. There are murmurs, moans and stifled cries for help. The door shuts. A gaseous odor fills the air. The noises subside. The door opens to reveal a pile of corpses. The spirits have left. The bodies remain. It happens again and again—like clockwork. […]
Trumbo
The 1940s and ‘50s weren’t kind to people whose politics flirted with the far left, especially those in the Hollywood artist community. Writer Dalton Trumbo, Oscar-nominated for Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo, got caught up in the “Better Dead Than Red” hysteria. His story, his fight against Congress’s House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) and Commie haters […]
Miles Ahead
There’s an old Phil Spector song called, “To Know Him is To Love Him.” But, if you were referring to legendary trumpeter Miles Davis, you’d have to re-coin the title: “To Know Him Is to Love How Talented, Scattered and Crazy He Was.” That’s the theme of actor/writer/director Don Cheadle’s drama Miles Ahead. If you’re looking […]
Suffragette
In the U.S., we revere Susan B. Anthony’s groundbreaking efforts for leading the fight for a woman’s right to vote in the late 1800s. In England, Emmeline Pankhurst, a feminist who used demonstrations, civil disobedience and violence to property for publicity and agitation, spearheaded their cause. The director (Sara Gavron) and screenwriter (Abi Morgan, The […]
Creed
“Why would you pick a fighter’s life if you didn’t have to,” asks the old, retired ex-boxer Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone). He would know. The life, it ain’t easy. Yet as he stares into the eyes of Apollo Creed’s son Adonis (Michael B. Jordan), somewhere inside he knows the answer. His reservations and the young […]
The Democrats
“Some people fail to remember where power is derived from,” threatens Robert Gabriel Mugabe, the president of Zimbabwe. He would know. He’s been the de facto leader of Zimbabwe for decades. As he faces the completion of a new constitution, the possibility of term limits and a decline in his power, he is dismissive. Will […]
San Andreas
If you’ve lived in California, a major earthquake is your worst nightmare. The thought of a 9.5 quake is almost unimaginable and terrifying. Quick, stand under a doorway or hide under a desk, it’s coming and the aftermath is not all that pretty in San Andreas. This adrenaline-pumping movie turns a nightmare into big screen […]
Mad Max: Fury Road
It seems like just yesterday—well three decades ago—when a brash Australian actor, Mel Gibson, stormed on to the screen in the post-apocalyptic Australian Outback action film Mad Max. The original director/writer George Miller has breathed new life into that classic franchise and the result is an absolutely riveting, visually arresting and perfectly acted film that […]
