The Devil All The Time (2020) Movie Review
Antonio Campos’ adaptation of Donald Ray Pollock’s “The Devil All the Time” is a bold and sprawling drama that explores the dark side of humanity through multiple generations impacted by violence in the heartland of America. With so much going on under its surface and an array of characters to keep track of, some elements of the film are minimized, making it feel like it would have worked better as a mini-series. However, the film's ambitious scope and willingness to bite off more than it can chew ultimately override any shortcomings, resulting in a memorable and powerful experience for viewers.

You Should Have Left (2020) Movie Review
The horror genre has always been an interesting space for filmmakers to explore. The genre demands a certain level of creativity, imagination, and a willingness to push the boundaries of what audiences can handle. It's a genre that has given us some of the most iconic films of all time, from classics like "The Exorcist" and "The Shining" to modern masterpieces like "Get Out" and "Hereditary." Unfortunately, "You Should Have Left," the latest horror film from director David Koepp and starring Kevin Bacon, fails to live up to the high standards set by its predecessors.

The Tax Collector (2020) Movie Review
Critiquing a movie like "The Tax Collector" is akin to picking apart a dish that's so poorly cooked that it's almost impossible to pinpoint exactly what went wrong. It's a movie that is deeply incompetent and devoid of any redeeming qualities. It's rife with casual racism, bland characters, clichéd dialogue, incoherent plotting, and baffling editing. Above all, it's numbingly boring, which is perhaps the most insulting thing about it. If you're going to make a movie as lazily as this one, the least you could do is try to make it fun.

Unpacking the Beauty and Flaws of Crooklyn: A Review of the 1994 Classic on Black Life in America
Crooklyn is a Spike Lee joint that tells the story of a black family living in Crooklyn in the 1970s. Spike Lee's Crooklyn tells the coming-of-age story of the main character, Troy, a spunky and rebellious young girl who is surrounded by a cast of colorful characters, including her parents, siblings, and neighbors. Zelda Harris delivers an impressive performance as Troy, the film’s main character. As a young girl who was headstrong and defiant, Harris brings a sense of energy and verve to the role, while also capturing the vulnerability and uncertainty of adolescence. Her interactions with the other members of the cast, particularly her siblings, are some of the film’s most memorable moments. Alfre Woodard leads the cast as Carolyn, the matriarch of the Carmichael family. Woodard delivers a nuanced and powerful performance that captures the complexities of a woman struggling to hold her family together while facing her own health crisis. Her portrayal of Carolyn’s strength, vulnerability, and unwavering love for her family is one of the film’s highlights. Woodard’s performance is a testament to her acting range and ability to bring depth to her characters. She elevates the film with her raw and emotional portrayal of Carolyn, making it a must-see for fans of powerful performances. Delroy Lindo plays Woody, Carolyn’s husband and the father of the Carmichael children. Lindo delivers a strong performance as a man who is often frustrated by the struggles of his family and community, but who ultimately loves and supports them fiercely. His chemistry with Woodard is palpable, and some of the best parts of the movie happen when they are together. David Patrick Kelly’s role as Tony Eyes, a neighborhood drifter who becomes Troy’s friend, and Carlton Williams’s role as Clinton, Troy’s older brother who is trying to find his place in the world, are also great. Together, the cast does a powerful and moving job of showing how a family and community deal with hard times with humor, love, and strength.
