In 1979, James Baldwin wrote a letter to his literary agent describing his next project, "Remember This House." The book was to be a revolutionary, personal account of the lives and assassinations of three of his close friends: Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. At the time of Baldwin's death in 1987, he left behind only 30 completed pages of this manuscript. Filmmaker Raoul Peck envisions the book James Baldwin never finished
The Swamp (HBO)
The Swamp is an American documentary film about the fundraising and political culture on Capitol Hill and in Washington, DC. it chronicles the activities of three Republican congressmen: Matt Gaetz, Thomas Massie and Ken Buck who are outsiders to dominant party patronage system
Unknown origins (Argentina)
I try to check out a few foreign movies or TV shows a few times a month. This interesting movie comes from Argentina and is all about comics, drama and heroes. A touch of Cosplay and super villain is the premise of this wacky fun movie. Here's my take.
Tenet - back to the movies
Being a huge Christopher Nolan Fan I was not going to let the Corona Virus stop me from seeing his new movie spectacular with his Black lead star. This mind bending action thriller puts you back into the "inception" mind set of where things are going. Not really sure where this one is going but we went to the movies just to see it
The Umbrella Academy season 2
Alicia and I sit down to watch season 2 of this cleverly created and directed Netflix show. Because there are so many superhero shows out, we didn’t expect the encore to be as good as the first season.
Project Power (Netflix)
Some times we run into a movie everyone is checking out or happen to keep rotating into my Netflix queue. This one is a Jamie Foxx lead action thriller. A simple story line with an over zealous director. Is there action? Yes, is it thrilling? Here’s our thoughts.
The Old Guard (Netflix)
As one of the top watched shoes on Netflix for awhile. I decided to watch this action movie with Charlize Theron. The fact that she is being deleted from the new Mad max reboot, I wanted to see what she she still had in the tank. This popular concept of immortal heroes fighting the wrongs in the world is not new but a bit different based on the secret society and finding a new recruit in the present day.
Homecoming season 2
I sit down and watch the second season of home coming, confused with the story line and what new direction they would go to. Also some characters that I was not too fond of but decided to give this one a go. This is also an Amazon Prime series.
Dark (Netflix) subtitled (season 3)
So, Dark is a well written Sci Fi phenomenon. Even in German the complexities and time travel concepts are top notch. We pick up after the Apocalypse occurs in their small town in Germany. And a whole new sequence of events start out to uncover the true meaning behind the multidimensional love story between the two characters.
When two children go missing in a small German town, its sinful past is exposed along with the double lives and fractured relationships that exist among four families as they search for the kids. The mystery-drama series introduces an intricate puzzle filled with twists that includes a web of curious characters, all of whom have a connection to the town's troubled history -- whether they know it or not. The story includes supernatural elements that tie back to the same town in 1986. "Dark" represents the first German original series produced for Netflix
DA -5 - BLOODS (Netflix)
Since we are Spike Lee fans but lately we have been a bit cautious of his recent releases. We didn't run out to see his Netflix release about 5 black men from the Vietnam war going back tot he country to recover a fallen brothers remains. After Black KKKlansman we thought we would give this one a try since that was made a lot better than his other previous releases.
