Killa Season (2006)

The new biopic 'Elvis' highlights the beginning and end of the career of this rock and roll legend. The audience is taken on this journey knowing the tragic ending but not so much about what led him there. A large topic of discussion is the influences on Elvis that made him who he was as a singer, musician, and performer, which were blues, gospel, and country. Many of the songs that rose him to fame were songs by Black artists he heard growing up in primarily Black settings.

“Reboot” can be crass and has much room to improve, but with investments of time and care, could flower out of the seed of a vision. 

This year, in light of the pandemic and the inability to gather with our loved ones, a few of our staff members reviewed their favorite holiday films with the hope of recreating some of the sentimentality that reminds us of home.

This coming-of-age movie is about a group of girl trying to find their missing friend after a wild night none of them can remember.

The human experience is described through the eyes of a marginalized outsider, neither judgmental nor invested, just an observant donkey.

I suppose you could argue that the story wasn’t what Director James Cameron was aiming for, it was the visuals. The spectacle of it all was the point, and it certainly shows.
