Not only is it Black History Month. It’s also its 100th anniversary!!
To commemorate its centennial, I wrote a list of 10 Black films, one from each of the last 10 decades, to stream.

Was surprised how many people noticed the abundance of influencers WB invited to the WUTHERING HEIGHTS premiere. I used that to talk about influencers as celebrities, their lack of transparency on the pay for play model, and trying to be "honest" in their reviews.

After MAI-CHAN'S DAILY LIFE, I think I'm gonna hold off on the torture stuff for a while 'cos they ain't up to snuff. Anyway, I'm diving back into the work of Ken'ichi Ugana for Midnight Movie Madness.

Had the inkling to watch more Chinese crime movies; specially noir. So I'm currently watching ONLY THE RIVER FLOWS by Wei Shujun.
Any other examples of this genre from China? Or as I like to call it, Chi-Noir?

Well, since I am under massive critical deadlines I've finished a screenplay instead. Who can recommend a good agent?

For tonight's Midnight Movie Madness, I go from blaxploitation back to Japanese splatter. I've heard of the manga the film is based on and its extreme origins. But honestly I chose this film because of the short run time.

Not knowing that this month is Black History Month (despite my viewing of BONES), I've decided to go into another film for Midnight Movie Madness, also starring the great Pam Grier.

It's funny and kinda disconcerting that one can know Chow Yun-fat and yet not know any of his comedies.

I love how there's always one moment in a Sam Raimi genre film where an actor would act like they're turning into a Deadite.

I always knew there was a reason why she was my least favourite Bennet sister.
I would like everyone to understand that Talulah Riley was with Elon Musk because she wanted to be there and they had much in common. She was not some poor put upon woke darling trapped with a monster.

"'Melania' has amassed $7 million in its global debut. It's a great result for a documentary film, yet the Amazon MGM release has a $70+ million price tag including global marketing expenses, so profitability remains a ways away."
