Ghost Stories (2013)

For a young girl who wishes to keep her current traditions, this holiday will end up with a surprise twist.

In a film where a Black couple is framed to be the lead characters, they still managed to get shuffled off to the sidelines. The enthusiastic cast delivers well on goofy bits- but can only go so far before they begin to fall flat.

White audiences saw Peola’s mixed-race passing as a Black woman’s struggle to be white. Black audiences saw it as the rebellion of a Black woman trying to gain privileges only given to white people.

Swapped combines comedy, adventure and emotional growth while delivering one of the biggest plot twists in animation history.

The film centers around two young women, Becca and Sam, who were once high school sweethearts until they reconnect in their town.

The thing is, people like Wahlberg will only apologize if they have something to lose, which he did. His glamorous life, his reputation, and his career were all at stake.
