ONE Friday Fights 88: Pompet vs. Ortikov (2024)

A review of the Ryan Polomski documentary featuring the story of Basketball star Raymond Lewis.

In Amazon’s new shark flick, The Devil’s Mouth, terrible tourists finally get their comeuppance while two estranged best friends must overcome their petty squabbles to survive as the rest of their party gets chomped one by one. While it’s by no means an Oscar winner, The Devil’s Mouth is good old fashioned shark week carnage with a tourist critical twist, perfect with popcorn, a friend, and a healthy does of schadenfreude. 

"Warrior" is a Bruce Lee written and inspired story that follows a diverse cast of Chinese American characters and does a terrific job of setting the story in 1878 San Francisco - all without pulling their punches with the systemic racism, discrimination, and struggle for power that old and young immigrants that crossed the country at that time had to go through.

The film exhibits a respect for the craft and an empathy for human tribulations that have historically been ignored.

This film is based off of The Diary of a Young Girl, which was written during the Holocaust period.
