“Birds of Prey” and the Fantabulous Emancipation from the DCEU
Birds of Prey has some of the best stunt work and choreography of 2020, and was the most fun I’d had in an action film since John Wick 3.
On the Verge of Seething
In the pages of a farmer's handwritten journal, the fracture of a village comes into view. At the foot of Mount Gede, the expansion of a geothermal project tears into land considered sacred, seizing ground its people have worked for generations. Grassroots resistance slowly decays into suspicion between neighbours, until residents themselves are driven to a boiling point of helplessness. Following the ink trail and personal archive of farmer-activist Cece Jaelani, On the Verge of Seething traces how collective rage hardens into an inherited fate, culminating in an ancient act: residents pleading for the mountain itself to erupt.

Marion Ravenwood, the Unsung Hero of 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'
For the entirety of Raiders of the Lost Ark, Marion remains in full control of both her body and her personality, a rarity for female characters at the time of the film’s release. She’s granted depth with personal demons from her past and emotional vulnerability when the situation deems it appropriate for her to grow alongside Indy. She avidly rejects the notion of being anything other than a sassy, humane rebel, and Indy’s equal in every way. This she does while still maintaining her femininity.
Short Film Review “Marque Dos” A quick, charmingly humorous, but dramatically potent view of holding fast to dual identities and embracing your heritage
Striving for validation. Let’s be frank….we ALL want to be successful. Whatever we put our efforts into, ideally it is to make it culminate in the best possible results across the board, especially when it comes to what career path we are pursuing. We WANT to excel, to shine, to advance, to be acknowledged. AND…let’s hope that we also wish to better everyone around us to boot. However, what occurs when those whom we initially put our trust in suddenly become a burden instead of a boon? Do we falter under the weight of rejection? Or STAND UP for WHO WE ARE?
