Second Chance Champions (2023)

Disclosure Day asks us to question humanity's role in the universe but falls victim to the same assumptions of centrality.

'Don't Breathe 2' is a sequel that forgoes almost everything that made its predecessor good, and asks audiences to root for a rapist on top of that.

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. 

As a frequent “the book was better” extoller, this movie was well worth the watch. 

Mirrorball is full of passion and love for the medium of cinema and is indeed a fitting love letter to La La Land.
