K-12 (2019)

The sequel to the 2021 remake of the same name continues from where we last left off in this spooky adventure.

The genres of science fiction and fantasy are not exclusively masculine territory. Over the last few decades, female directors have brought to the screen some of the most visually stunning, intellectually daring, and deeply moving works of speculative fiction. From big Hollywood productions like Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel to independent low-budget films, women filmmakers are making a name for themselves around the world.

In addition to the cast being delightfully diverse this time around, the film was just loosely-plotted and action-packed enough to keep a casual fan like myself entertained. While I do agree that the writing of Cole left much to be desired for an original character thrust into a preconceived universe, none of the characters seemed particularly fleshed out in terms of personality; however, I think that's to be expected when you're watching a film literally inspired by a video game.

The film seems like an extreme interpretation of the conspiracy theorists that exist in real life. And then, there’s the twist.

This sports drama movie is centered around an Asian American boy named Chang.

A trio of girls form a band and enter a singing competition together after learning they work best as a team.
