The Mind of a Murderer: Part 2 (1984)

The Fog follows more of a 1950s creature feature plot than a late-70s slasher with three legendary scream queens.

When most of us think about diversity in film, we usually think about three things: race, gender, and disabilities. However, there is a forgotten topic... age. These are 12 of the best films about growing old.

The second episode of the highly anticipated Afrofuturism series delivers with a high-speed race teaching us to go far beyond just accepting ourselves.

In Spike Lee’s She’s Gotta Have It (1986), we follow the love life of powerful female protagonist Nola Darling (Tracy Camilla Johns) and explore the relationship dynamics she has with her partners. She sees three men simultaneously: Greer Childs, (John Canada Terrell) Mars Blackmon (Spike Lee), and Jamie Overstreet (Tommy Redmond Hicks). Though an 80’s film, She’s Gotta Have It is surprisingly progressive with its themes of female sexuality, although at some points in the film it is handled clumsily. Overall Nola is an incredibly compelling character especially for modern women, as we as a society acknowledge female sensuality more and more without the negative stigma.

This film is a splendid mix of mediums, but its strength lies in its simplicity and beautiful message of closeness.
