Movie Review – Us – Tons of Symbolism, Creepy, and a Great Time at the Movies
—
I’m by no means a lover of horror movies anymore, but when Jordan Peele writes one, you can’t help but wonder what it will be like. His freshman movie, Get Out, was creepy enough to motivate me to see more from him. Us didn’t let me down. It’s a little hard to write specifics about…

Captain Marvel – Better Than I Expected – A White Male’s Review
Guest article by Christopher Estrada I am no Marvel Cinematic Universe newbie. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all but one MCU film to date — that one being 2008’s The Incredible Hulk. We were thrown into the middle of Dr. Banner’s story with little in the way of actual origin story. Maybe Marvel was leaning a bit…

Movie Review – Greta – Less Teeth, Still A Good Bite
—
Greta didn’t have the teeth of some more memorable thrillers, such as A Quiet Place or Get Out, but it did have a good bite. The first half of the movie was loaded with dramatic exposition, and the last half was the payoff, giving us one heck of a quirky ending. I loved it! I…

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…

Movie Review – Run the Race – Faith-Based but Sad
—
As is my usual, I’ll address the target audience first. Run the Race has all the ingredients needed for a faith-based movie — a loss of faith, a terrible tragedy, hope, and renewal. Christians of all denominations will be satisfied, and happy with the outcome. (Does anyone write a faith-based movie where God doesn’t prevail?)…

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. Black Panther is up for no less than SEVEN Academy Awards, so beyond being yet another fantastic Marvel Universe superhero film, the tone struck a cord with…
