Jerry Lee Lewis: I Am What I Am (1987)

This inspiring true story falls nothing short of filling the audience with a passion to strive for their wildest dreams.

One of the reasons I love watching movies is that, much like books, they serve as windows into other times and different places. Productions from around the world offer valuable insights into the history and culture of their respective countries. And just like literature, cinema can help us understand the present by showing us the past.

A 2022 remake of the previous films of the same name, but with a more diverse cast, increasing representation and diversity.

Disguised as a cosmic highway horror, Alexander Ullom’s It Ends is a beautiful, albeit terrifying, metaphor for learning that if you want to survive adulthood and become your own person, you have to learn to let people go.

A few episodes in, I realized the most prominent theme of In The Long Run wasn't culture, race or even finding independence--but the idea of belonging.
