Ransom (1996)

Overall, Sand Castle was another lack luster war drama that will eventually fade into the many similar war dramas I have seen throughout my life.

The relationship between Will and Sean is the best part of the movie. It’s always a delight to see Robin Williams on screen

Izzy and Prince Thomas learn that taking control of their own destiny requires following their hearts and making their own decisions.

The film reminds us to remember the people who had the courage and dignity that had made the world better, even when the memory was absent.

While it is more than established that Halston’s life is far from a fairytale, the narrative suffers as a result of the decision to revolve more around sex and drugs than his artistry, it likely does a disservice to his cultural impact by pulling focus from his achievements.

It’s fun, it’s energetic, but it’s also understated and vicarial. Zola is a modern black fairytale and future of black movies.
