"In the Heights" Review
Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tony-winning musical translates beautifully to the screen.

The Painted Crows deliver gigs unlike any other, rocking their audiences in carnival costumes and war-paint. But for guitarist Dexter Jacobs, tonight is just like any other.
Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tony-winning musical translates beautifully to the screen.
James Cameron’s “Aliens” (1986) is a pinnacle of science fiction storytelling. Within this classic monster movie lies a powerful female character, Ellen Ripley (brilliantly portrayed by Sigourney Weaver).
There were too many irrelevant parts that could have been shortened, and too many characters that didn't advance the plot. Either way, some things didn't add up. This was just another played out plot with little, if any, originality in it. By the end of the film, I wasn't happy that she finally got her freedom, I was happy that it was finally over.
Gay representation is out there, but to portray a character who's gay as a big, happy brute is a rare treat.
The film's Incluvie rating is off the charts. It features Black, Muslim, queer, trans humans whose moms hold them up, fight for them, and love them for who they are...making anything possible.
