Blame! Would lead you to believe that Netflix is testing out the possibility of expanding this to a series but wants to see their subscribers’ response is first.
Mixed (Divisive)
Due to this movie having a few quirks, of which may work for some and for others be a problem, we believe your enjoyment of this movie will depend on your taste.
The Bounce Back – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
While not a very insightful romance movie, despite it starring some kind of “guru,” The Bounce Back is cute. Even if it follows the usual romance movie formula.
This Beautiful Fantastic – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
While containing a likable lead with a few quirks, this odd tale about gardening, finding love, and a grumpy old man may just put you to sleep.
Lowriders – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
Lowriders is likable, but in the pursuit of having emotional depth, it drowns in its own melodrama.
Vincent N Roxxy – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
Vincent n Roxxy is a bit all over the place and has many interesting aspects, or storylines rather, but none of them reach their full potential.
Gifted – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
For those of you who like sappy Lifetime movies, this will be right up your alley.
Only For One Night – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
While the story of Only For One Night is predictable and very cliché, the chemistry between the female and male lead are pleasant surprises.
Sleight – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
Sleight may not deliver the Black superhero movie you might crave, but it is surely an appetizer for what is likely to come in the future.
Tramps – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
Tramps as a romance film works but is pretty lackluster when it comes to everything else.
Sand Castle – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
Sand Castle doesn’t do anything new or thought-provoking with the war genre. It just reminds you of the trauma both sides go through.
Leap (Ballerina) – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
Despite your usual Weinstein Company delays, Leap or Ballerina is surprisingly touching and the only quip that can really be made deals with the music and villain.
Little Boxes – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
If Get Out is the horror version of what Black folk fear they may go through in the suburbs, Little Boxes depicts what for some is the reality.
The Fate of the Furious – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
While most franchises run out of gas by the 2nd sequel, The Fate of the Furious finds a way to push out another hit thanks to the reminder that, at the end of the day, it is all about family.
Teen Titans: The Judas Contract – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
For those who have followed WB Animation’s darker cartoon versions of the Batman franchise, especially dealing with Damien, this pretty much maintains previously established standards.
We Don’t Belong Here – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
In one of Anton Yelchin’s final films, we are reminded not just of his brilliance, but how excellent the movies he decided to be a part of.
Ali and Nino – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
As someone who primarily watches western media, the idea of a film which tells the history of a Muslim majority nation and shows its characters as lovers, the oppressed, and allowing us to see how they fought for their freedom, is rare. So rare I could not help myself and had to watch this. Though,…
Beauty and the Beast – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
Beauty and the Beast may not capture the magic of the original, but the melodrama added on to fill in the missing backstories of a few characters makes this live action remake just a tinsey bit worth it.
Custody – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
Custody seems more like a pilot for a brand new show than a stand alone movie. But, even with that said, it is worth checking it out.
The Salesman [Forushande] – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
I always found it strange when a film is nominated for Best Foreign Film yet none of the actors are nominated for anything, it isn’t nominated for best picture, nor is best director part of the nominations. Which isn’t a setup to say this film is horrible, but more so that it definitely isn’t for…
