The Secret of Stamboul (1938)

David Fincher is back in his playpen, with a dark and chilling thriller.

This inspiring true story falls nothing short of filling the audience with a passion to strive for their wildest dreams.

‘Candyman’ (2021) builds upon the original 1992 film by presenting the myth of Candyman not only as an example of black pain, but as an opportunity for black vengeance.

Emily Henry’s adaptation reaches romance movie standards, but not romance reader standards.

If you were to watch it on streaming when you have nothing to do, it’s still probably a giant waste of time, but you could do far worse.  Paying $18 for a movie ticket and who knows how much for concessions turns this from an exercise in boredom to an exercise in frustration. 

A few episodes in, I realized the most prominent theme of In The Long Run wasn't culture, race or even finding independence--but the idea of belonging.
