'Chang Can Dunk' (2023)
This sports drama movie is centered around an Asian American boy named Chang.

DILLON, an intensely ambitious twentysomething, orchestrates all aspects of her life, including her own surprise-going-away party. The party is at Dillon’s local honky tonk in her rural Oklahoma town the week before she and her longtime boyfriend, BEAU, are set to move to New York City to chase their dream of becoming filmmakers. Being the aspiring film director that she is, Dillon breaks the fourth wall to direct the movie as we watch it. She experiments with different film genres to show us how she wants the night to go, but reality inevitably takes over. In an argument in the parking lot, Beau reveals the truth: he doesn’t want to move. Dillon tries to rewind and start the scene over, but she can’t make the camera listen to her anymore; she’s lost control of the narrative. Left alone in the rain, Dillon must choose: stay behind with the person she loves or charge forward toward the life she’s fought for.

Outer Banks (2020-) knows its audience: young adults in a country that can’t stop romanticizing good ole’ treasure hunts. Add a little of Riverdale’s (2017-) sex appeal, and no one can look away. Forty years after The Goonies (1985) America’s consciousness hasn’t strayed from the same tropes: treasure hunts, a vulnerable white male lead, and the whitewashing of a racially segregated setting.
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.
The assassins in Bullet Train are quirky, deadly, and diverse. Yet, they all seem to be some type of caricature. While the movie is fun and action-packed, it’s also packed with stereotypes that don’t make for the best representation.
Coolie promised style, action, and Rajinikanth’s mass presence, but did it deliver on substance? Here’s my full review on whether Lokesh Kanagaraj’s film lives up to the hype.
We, the Jane Austen aficionados, are suckers for everything and anything under the sun that’s remotely related to her and her world. That’s because we are so drawn to her unique style of fiction, romance, and social commentary, we take any allusion to her influence as a hint to what to expect when we start watching a movie or reading a book.
