The Best Marvel Movie

Written by guest writer Dillon Robinson   What is the best movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?  When asked what I felt the best MCU movie is, I initially debated between “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” “Captain America: Civil War,” “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Avengers Endgame.” After all, they’re pretty great movies, and any of […]

The Message Behind THE JOKER

Though a bit late, I had a lot of thoughts I wanted to express about the latest in comic book movie ventures, Todd Phillip’s “The Joker.” Most reviews of this film pertained to the perceived commentary on mental illness. While that is undoubtedly part of the narrative, in my opinion, it is not the focal […]

Brienne of Love: A Closer Look

After last night’s ep of Game of Thrones, I must admit to having a multitude of feelings, primarily for my personal fave, Brienne.

Luke Cage Brings Best Character to TV: Shades

Proposed spinoffs post both Buffy as well as Angel (the series) never came to fruition, and with rights […]

It’s Bigger than Her (2 of 2)

A white actress claims she’s being short-changed in pay and opportunity. The world calls her brave! White movie exec claims Black films don’t sell overseas. He’s called realistic and business savvy! Topics like these frustrate me. Because the implications are bigger than the entertainment industry. Bigger than an actress, a film, a pay dispute. Bigger […]

It’s Bigger Than Her (1 of 2)

I may not be a fan of everything comedian and Academy Award-winning actress, Mo’Nique, has performed in, but the response to her call to boycott Netflix has me vexed. The immediate dismissal and caricature of her argument could be seen as another facet of respectability politics – and in some aspect, misogynoir.
