A Useful Ghost: A New Modern Classic
The classic ghosts-in-revenge story expanded into an extensive dig into the historical social system while being funny and horny.

Holly Powell is a successful prosecutor who put away a prominent but corrupt Judge. After appearing on a true crime show to discuss the case, Holly’s life and business are turned upside down by a murderous stalker who is convinced that Judge Halstead is an innocent man and becomes hellbent on putting Holly away for good.

Striving for validation. Let’s be frank….we ALL want to be successful. Whatever we put our efforts into, ideally it is to make it culminate in the best possible results across the board, especially when it comes to what career path we are pursuing. We WANT to excel, to shine, to advance, to be acknowledged. AND…let’s hope that we also wish to better everyone around us to boot. However, what occurs when those whom we initially put our trust in suddenly become a burden instead of a boon? Do we falter under the weight of rejection? Or STAND UP for WHO WE ARE?
Amsterdam is a confusing movie with a meandering plot amidst a beautiful rendering of 1930s New York
I can say without question, that this is the first movie I’ve ever seen where art imitates life so much that I could 100% identify with it on a personal level. The predominately Black cast of characters are people with hopes, dreams, fears, and ambitions.
Kate Winslet and Saorise Ronan deliver stellar performances in a film that doesn't live up to its potential.
We are incredibly blessed that this movie is available for us to see, and we should take advantage of the opportunity we’ve been given.
