This Is Not How You Start a Trilogy: “Hope” Gets a Nope From Me
Despite it being one of the most visually impressive action movies I’ve ever seen, everything else fell short of my expectations.

On May 17th, 1974, three bombs exploded in Dublin City Centre killing 27 people and injuring 258. Later that evening, a bomb in Monaghan Town killed 7 more innocent people. This day saw the greatest loss of life in any single day of the Troubles. However, after seven weeks, investigations into the bombings were closed down and inquests into the Dublin casualties were never completed. In 1993, the Ulster Volunteer Force claimed sole responsibility for the atrocities, but many families and survivors believe that the British Military were involved. Screening on the eve of the 50th anniversary of the bombings, this film gives voice to members of the Justice for the Forgotten, tireless campaigners for truth and justice for their loved ones.

As a musical fan, I enjoyed the film and encourage anyone who likes dark humour and a bit of blood to give it a watch.
‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ is preoccupied with plot and not on the greater struggle of the Osage.
Effortlessly beautiful and surprisingly tragic.
Diana’s spirit has taken off, ‘No right, no wrong, no rules for me.’ And in that moment, as she runs on the screen, she gets it, her ‘Let It Go’ moment.
I highly recommend Dark Waters. It’s a highly engrossing picture, which lends itself to cautionary storytelling. The dark information continually grows, inspiring change and accountability altogether. Overall, Haynes’ picture will not be known for its inclusiveness--but it will be known for being a fantastic, engrossing film.
