Beijing Rocks (2002)

Joker is a compelling, character-driven, psychological tale that has a message behind the madness.

A refreshing twist is that all the kids’ powers are…kind of useless. There’s a kid who can only move in slow motion, a kid who has every power in the world but can only use them randomly, and our main character Missy who has no powers at all. The thesis of the film seems to be that it doesn’t matter what kind of powers you have, its the way you use them, which is good for the warm and fuzzies.

It doesn’t offer an absolute answer for the dialectical ethical questions that emerged in search of justice but portrays the characters as living people beyond the identities of victims.

Richard speaks with Dia Frampton about some of her experiences with acting and music.

Presenting a bold and unapologetic narrative focused on strong Muslim female characters, the show beautifully incorporates punk rock as a feminist movement in their lives.

This action thriller is made with the hope that the black youth of America will feel empowered, and realize the significance of their heritage.
