In this story about impoverished urban life, a woman named Kelly has to decide how much risk and sacrifice is worth the chance to get out of the ghetto. Stealing the 250,000 dollars that her fresh-out-of-prison boyfriend is hording from a bank heist, she makes a run for it, fully aware that if he finds her, she will be dead. Both of these people want a chance at a clean life, but after everything they must go through to get it, that life may turn out to be nothing but a dream.
Two Summers ago, on May 27th, 2022, the theatrical cinematic realms were re-awakened from their post-COVID dormant state of being by a little film titled "Top Gun: Maverick". It re-introduced us to the absolute elation of seeing not only a highly anticipated (and, granted, 36 years in the making!) sequel, but the return of the quintessential Summer blockbuster to witness on the BIG screen again.
While the film didn’t hit me as emotionally as I wanted it to, I still enjoyed it. I simply wish there was a little more, particularly with the world building.
The legacy of this movie starts off the film series with a bang of magic, plot twists, and battles.
Marvin Gaye's powerful music addresses the same themes as "Da 5 Bloods" and elevates the film to even greater heights.
"Terrace House" improves on the standard reality TV format by affording its cast privacy, freedom, and respect.
The genres of science fiction and fantasy are not exclusively masculine territory. Over the last few decades, female directors have brought to the screen some of the most visually stunning, intellectually daring, and deeply moving works of speculative fiction. From big Hollywood productions like Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel to independent low-budget films, women filmmakers are making a name for themselves around the world.
