Beast (2014)

On March 31st, International Trans Day of Visibility, the trailer for Zola finally dropped with a brief cameo from a queer icon.

Overall, Cruella stands above the other Disney retellings. Its dark and bold, and that is exactly what these retellings should be. Emma Stone continues to prove she's one of the finest young actresses working today, and Emma Thompson gives one of the best villain performances in the last decade. The fashion is stunning, the dogs are adorable, and the story is wildly vibrant and original. It's classic movie fun, and it shouldn't be overlooked.

When I started watching Apple TV’s latest original film, Tenzing, I was expecting something fairly straightforward. Following the life of famed Sherpa guide Tenzing Norgay, one half of the first pair of people ever to summit Mt. Everest, I expected Jennifer Peedom’s film to be a basic biopic rooted in action scenes focused on the physical challenges and risks of climbing the world’s tallest mountain. Instead, I had the pleasure of watching a delicate, sweeping tale of the memories that make up a man, following Norgay as he navigates childhood loss, finding true love, and following his dream to touch “his mountain.”

YouTube surpasses Netflix but there is more to the story.

Seeing that the film was essentially his first big, mainstream feature, and with garnering a leading role — portraying the revolutionary ball-player Jackie Robinson — Boseman, without question, delivered a performance that is still so incredibly moving, respectful, genuine, and true to the core of his obviously sincere, artistic heart; and with that, it is indeed so saddening to see him pass.

Growing up with a lot of siblings, young Beth felt ignored her immediate family. Uncle Frank made her feel seen, heard, and accepted.
