Ignored by History: Black Cowboys Finally Get Their Due in The Harder They Fall. Top Story - November 2021.
The film This melanated escapist tale features characters based on actual black cowboys and outlaws from the old west. Although the people were real, the events are entirely the creation of Jeymes Samuel, the writer and director of this indulgent western flick. It’s unlikely that any of these people ever met, but the film’s speculation is no less enthralling.

"The Dark Outside"
I have the upmost respect for awards: awards given to athletes, entertainers and especially in my older years, to writers. When I read about a play written by Bernard Kops and stars Austin Pendleton I figured what could go wrong? The good news is that at the start of the show at The Theater for the New City, the person who normally tells us where the fire exits are kept it under 5 minutes long! The bad news is that the show started about 15 minutes late and I am sure many audience members prayed for a fire 20 minutes into the show! If this is a standard writing of Kops, I do not understand how the Queen of England could give him the Civil List pension; after all, that was also awarded to writers like Lord Byron, Wordsworth and Alfred. After seeing "The Dark Outside I can tell you that Kops is no Lord Byron.

My Review of "Tick, Tick... Boom!"
Tick, Tick... Boom! is actually a musical based on the life of the author of the musical. Through some unfortunate circumstances this author wasn't able to see the fruits of his labor. That's why this movie is valuable in describing the importance of his work and his life.

My Review of "Ghostbusters: Afterlife". Top Story - November 2021.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife is a long awaited Ghostbusters sequel that I've been waiting a while to see. This franchise has a special place in my heart as I have some history with this movie and after seeing this movie I can say I was a little choked up at certain parts. For those that didn't like Star Wars Awakens I think you might want to stay away from this movie though.
