Rebuilding the World Trade Center (2013)

I write for a diversity-focused film review blog, so I’ll be honest: I really wanted to like Pretty Lethal. Starring Maddie Ziegler, Lana Condor, Iris Apatow, Avantika, and Millicent Simmonds, Amazon Prime’s new thriller seemed like it would be a girl power movie about dancers with a horror action twist. Sort of a Suspiria for teens. But with shallow and unlikeable characters, a confusing plot, an overreliance on violence, and cringey dialogue, any fun the movie started out with was quickly lost. What was left was a faint echo of greater horror movies about dancers made before. 

Anna May Wong was a talented actress and a fashion icon and still had to fight for everything she had due to hatred and racism.

It is not hard to make a musical biopic that pleases audiences and draws a profit.  Michael is no exception. 

Based off the book of the same name, ‘The Miseducation of Cameron Post’ (2018) follows teenager Cameron Post (Chloë Grace Moretz) after she is caught being intimate with another girl and then sent away to a gay conversion camp.

Despite everything it was capable of, all of these poor choices strung together amount to nothing more than a counter-productive film.
