Nobody’s Fool shows Tiffany Haddish at her best and shows what Tyler Perry can do when he doesn’t limit his comedy style to PG-13 and below.
Jefe (The Boss) – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
Jefe is comical, but as for the whole redemption that is part of Netflix’s synopsis? I don’t know about that.

Never Goin’ Back holds itself back from the many things which could have made this either really funny, insightful, or heartfelt.

Mid90s has the rawness of Kids, but feels less about being provocative and more about trying to present characters you’d think were based off real people.

I Still See You presents an interesting murder mystery that will intrigue you more than you might have expected.

After Everything is exhausting in the best way. For it really makes you passionate about the possibility of this couple making it and not ending up just a memory to one another.

When I’ve Wanted To Die, feels like a visual summary, with an incremental update, of Anna Akana’s book released last year.
The Hate U Give (Movie) – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
While, like most book adaptations, in losing some of the fat the film loses some of what made the book great, what isn’t lost is the key message The Hate U Give pushed.

A Star Is Born starts strong and burns bright but, by the end, you’ll be burnt out as it sludges its way to the finish.

3rd Night lacks potential scares despite holding many elements most horror movies have to conjure up fear.
Cruise – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
Cruise may not cause butterflies or be the best star-crossed romance you’ve ever seen, but it is a decent way to kill an hour and a half.
Hell Fest – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
With paltry jump scares, and a killer with very little motive, besides being rude to him, Hell Fest will only scare up the desire to maybe go to a real horror fest.
Night School – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
While this won’t go down as the best we’ve seen from Kevin Hart or Tiffany Haddish, comedy-wise, there is a deeper message which compensates for that.
Smallfoot – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
While Smallfoot may give some adults pause with topics dealing with questioning authority and religion, it’s message of unity kind of compensates for that.
Nappily Ever After – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
While the message is clear and strong in Nappily Ever After, the story, by comparison, is a tad weak.

Life Itself will leave you crying in the worse way. I’m talking gasping for air, with a burning throat, for the devastation is too much.

Covering the first 17 episodes of the animated series, Bleach feels like a to the point movie cutting the majority of filler, and probably some essential characters.

White Boy Rick seems to follow a worn out list of what “Based on a True Story” films must do and thus lacks anything to make this feel truly different from the rest.

Sadly, neither the Black experience during WWII Germany nor the odd love affair between a Nazi soldier and Black German girl flourish.
A Boy. A Girl. A Dream. – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
A Boy. A Girl. A Dream is a likable love story but, if not a fan of Trump, it recapping the night he got elected might dampen the romance.
The Wife – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
The Wife seems like an oddly placed summer film, for it has all the workings to be Oscar bait – without coming off pretentious.
MDMA – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
While MDMA does have an engaging story, it is also the type of film you wish could’ve dived more into certain characters and subjects.
A Simple Favor – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
I want you to imagine the mystery aspect of Gone Girl, mixed with the comedy of Bad Moms. An imperfect union of the two would equal A Simple Favor.

During a high school reunion of sorts, a group of jocks, after one crazy night, assume one of them killed another. Question is: Who and why?
