‘Fast Color’: A Strikingly Different Take on the Superhero Film - Movie Review
Set in a future dystopian United States in which water is running out, Julia Hart’s Fast Color (2018) is a refreshingly different take on the superhero film.

Mr. K.K. Ho (starring Vincent WONG), is a leading “star tutor” with remarkable achievements. Lee Lung Kei (starring Hugo NG), the stingy boss and principal of the cram school, regards Mr. Ho as a trump card. Chloe (starring Jennifer YU Heung Ying), a traditional high school teacher, has always tried her best in teaching. Chloe despises K.K.’s teaching methods and refers to them as deviant. The two of them give tit for tat in class. Their conflict leads to K.K.’s appreciation for Chloe. He gives her flowers as an apology, but Chloe never accepts. He finds out Chloe is the daughter of Principal Lee. When she was young, she witnessed her mother being bullied and died by accident.

The enthralling prequel and 5th installment in 'The Hunger Games' film franchise.
The film didn’t have to be as long as it is. It just dragged on and on with scenes that had no substance. Every so often we get an action scene, and even those isn’t that fun.
Him is visually stunning—all concrete cathedrals and bone-rattling impact shots that look like a nightmare highlight reel. Marlon Wayans is magnetic as this legendary quarterback who's basically selling salvation with a smile that never quite reaches his eyes. But the story keeps running in circles: more tests, more cryptic pep talks, more ritualistic drills. The sports-as-religion metaphor beats you over the head when subtlety would've been more effective. The middle drags, and that finale chooses spectacle over substance. It's undeniably stylish, but left me cold. Also worth noting: despite the Monkeypaw connection, this isn't actually a Jordan Peele film—he didn't write or direct.
I understand that this would have been consistent with the language used by that generation, due to its role in the medical profession, however as someone who has family members with Down Syndrome I took it very personally.
You'd better buckle up, pack spare underwear, & maybe lay off the drinking for a night, for a gnarly ride in New York!
