A group of criminal animals tries their best to reform themselves into good citizens to avoid serving time in prison.

Another uneven "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" redux that says nothing novel about its subject matter.

Over the last several years, I have had the privilege of being one of the critics having the opportunity to watch and review several films from writer/director/producer Marcellus Cox, whose efforts are never anything less but grounded, relevant, and steeped in unflinching glimpses illustrating the gripping, inspired, and ever-vacillating realms that make up the human condition.

Could you use some hearty laughs? Then you’re in the right place! Enjoy this selection of diverse international comedies.

I write for a diversity-focused film review blog, so I’ll be honest: I really wanted to like Pretty Lethal. Starring Maddie Ziegler, Lana Condor, Iris Apatow, Avantika, and Millicent Simmonds, Amazon Prime’s new thriller seemed like it would be a girl power movie about dancers with a horror action twist. Sort of a Suspiria for teens. But with shallow and unlikeable characters, a confusing plot, an overreliance on violence, and cringey dialogue, any fun the movie started out with was quickly lost. What was left was a faint echo of greater horror movies about dancers made before. 

‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ is preoccupied with plot and not on the greater struggle of the Osage.
