Movie Review – Five Feet Apart – Sweet, but just too depressing
—
Yeah, yeah, it’s sweet and touching, but why would anyone subject themselves to a movie like this if they had a choice? I don’t like dramas, because I don’t like watching people suffer and die. Not my kind of film, and I’m annoyed at the entire enterprise. Can I recommend it? No. I just don’t…

Movie Review – Fighting with My Family – Pleasant, Non-Demanding Fun
Fighting with my Family is a pleasant little true-life-based sporting movie leaving you feeling a little happier than when you went in. It’s not about Earth-shattering events or anything particularly profound for humanity, and it doesn’t need to be. It’s a small and surprisingly charming story: a young woman gets plucked out of obscurity in…

Black Panther – Does Killmonger Have a Point?
[Spoilers ahead for everything Black Panther but not Infinity War] For Black Panther Week, and before the 2019 Oscars, I’d like to give this gorgeous and exciting film a shoutout.
