Fade to Black Cinema

When a teen reports being raped, then recants her story, two female detectives follow evidence that could reveal the truth; based on a true story

We go see the second chapter of IT. The classic Stephen King novel plays out very well as the loser club is now all grown up. They return back to their town to battle the dreaded Pennywise that terrorized the town many years ago. What a good sequel

This was one of those movies that Alicia and I struggle to figure out if this is a good movie to see or just something to write off as a year Brad Pitt did a few movies. A space drama that plays as sci-fi, relationship and self discovery.

Since Alicia is a big fan of the fast and Furious series.  I begrudgingly dragged myself to see this smash and race movie.  The best thing about this movie going into it was not having Vin Diesel in the film.  So we prepared ourself for better or for worst.  

We head out to see the 9th movie by Quentin Tarantino with mega stars Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio.  I was real excited to see this movie because of the great writing and directing of Tarantino.  we discuss our views and this 2 hour and 41 minute release.

Since it’s summer there are a few comedies that are being released that usually standout for the year. This one we thought would be one of them so went went out to see this new buddy film (cop/ civilian) trying to catch some bad guys in California. When a Uber driver Stu (Kumail Nanjiani) picks up a angry half blind detective (Dave Bautista). Stu becomes the eyes of the detective to find a notorious gang leader that killed his partner.

Sadly we sit down and watch the last season of Jessica Jones on Netflix the amazing female super hero played to perfection by Krysten Ritter. This last season Jessica continues to try to get her life together while trying to do good in the hood. But when a brilliant Psychopath puts his sights on her and uses her friends and associates to show her how unworthy she is to have super powers. This cat and mouse games goes on while she partners with another powered being that helps him and her find their place in New York.

I also speak to the cancellation of the other Netflix Marvel characters That may not be seen again.

Once again a good day for binge watching got us to watch the entire 3rd season of Stranger things. Now, I read a few mixed reviews about this season, but for the most part I think most people had the same enthusiasm for a new season and what it would bring regardless.

The Netflix series by Ava Duvenay about the tragedy inflicted on young teenagers named the Central Park Five. This reenacted series about five young boys wrongly convicted of raping a white woman in Central Park back in 1989. A 5 part series that spans the years they were convicted to 14+ years being exonerated of the crime. Its a brutal view of the people of the justice system and the racist system that still exist today. A very emotional series that is a must see for people who respects justice.
