Movies…with a little bit of obscure culture and sports mixed in
I never would have thought that I would be tearing up on the train watching a young man desperately pleading with his girlfriend while bleeding out on the floor of a dusty dorm apartment. I never would have thought this character uttering “eat me” would force me to cuddle up in a ball and hide my tear ducts.
The perfect plane movie. Possibly the best plane movie experience I have ever had. The Blackening (2023) is a horror comedy (released in June for some reason) that takes every single horror movie trope about black culture and characters and skewers the expected with laugh-out-loud satirical and oh shit sass-oozing wit.

Do you love action? Do you love over-the-top violence? Do you hate Nazis?
May I introduce you to a little movie called Sisu (2023).
Three Days Of The Condor (1975) is a damn good spy thriller. It is not in the upper echelon of espionage movies, but neither is it just pure entertainment fodder. Director Sydney Pollack takes the star power of Robert Redford and portrays him as a common man in an uncommon situation. The plot provides twists and turns and Max von Sydow in a supporting role is a perfect amalgamation of an evil Jacques Clouseau.
Till (2022) is a true story based on 27 years of research by producer, writer and filmmaker Keith Beauchamp. His work and writing about the Emmett Till case, which dates back to the 1990s, helped bring the Till case back to the United States Department Of Justice in 2004. The murder of Emmett Till was a galvanizing moment for the civil rights movements, and Till tells the story of how his mother Mamie Till Mobley (Danielle Deadwyler) stood up to injustice and made an evergreen stamp in the fight against racism.
I am going to be that guy. The book was way better than the movie.
