“Concrete Cowboy” (2021) Review: An Endangered and Unknown Subculture
Ricky Staub’s Concrete Cowboy, based on Greg Neri’s novel "Ghetto Cowboy", tells the story of a young teenager forced to adapt to a new lifestyle.

During a presidential working visit to the city of Semey, every local police officer dreams of being part of the official escort motorcade. A group of local patrolmen wants to get into the convoy at all costs. However, their chief has other plans. As the person responsible for the President's security, he wants everything to run perfectly. Knowing the chaotic reputation of his men, the chief orders Serik, Medet, Olzhas, Edil, Ilyas, and Beks to stay far away from the motorcade. Instead, he puts Dima and Renat, the city's elite police officers, in charge of the escort. But the six patrolmen are not ready to just give up and surrender their spots, because accompanying the President is the ultimate dream of every cop.

As a frequent “the book was better” extoller, this movie was well worth the watch.
Omaha reminds us of what it can feel like to look at old family photographs. You sit with the bittersweetness, allowing it to wash over you; not drowning in it, but certainly affected by it.
Seven years after George Miller's previous film, 'Mad Max: Fury Road', he dives back into the scene with an equally daring movie. Although not nearly as action-packed, his newest film 'Three Thousand Years Of Longing' challenges the typical format of a film, giving you a well-known plot in an unexpected way.
The Gates, John Burr’s new thriller film, is a disturbingly realistic portrayal of three Black twenty-somethings - Derek (Mason Gooding), Kevin (Algee Smith), and Tyon (Keith Powers), as they accidentally take a wrong turn into a gated community that’s more like a modern-day sundown town. The three friends witness a variety of crimes in their new surroundings, including an attempted homicide and an attempted rape. As they attempt to alert the authorities and do the right thing, they are thwarted at every turn by the worst horror stories of American conservatism - racist white suburbanites, reckless gun violence, corrupt police, religious mania, and a megalomaniacal pastor.
