#watchtheskies is one I’d like to call an ambitious misfire. An enthusiastic but ultimately imprecise effort that was dragged down by its own lofty ambitions, there’s only so much a beating heart and zealous imagination can take a derivative blueprint and uneven execution.

For as flippantly as the word ‘masterpiece’ gets thrown around with reckless abandon, perhaps you can make the argument that it applies towards #Onebattleafteranother. This full-course meal of relentless heart, satire and raw vulnerability that all complement each other feels very human.

Here's my PSA announcement. #him takes 'no guts, no glory’ to such a literal extreme, this Black Mirror episode with advanced CTE dreadfully compromises itself in its own attempts to salvage any semblance of salient cultural critique; just a severe lack of focus. At least it knows it's silly.

This is especially important for you folks who are, somehow, still excited to watch Wrestlepalooza on Saturday.
If you haven't canceled your Disney+, Hulu, ESPN subscriptions yet, what are you waiting for?
This is the quickest, easiest way we can signal to ABC/Disney and Trump's next targets that there are market repercussions for fascism and we're not too lazy or afraid to engage them.

Definitely one of the higher tier Stephen King adaptions, the strengths of #thelongwalk go beyond the eerily timely reflections on living and dying with dignity under a fascist regime; it makes you question endurance, humanity, the cost of survival and all the senseless sacrifices that come with it.

Operation “Get him to stroke out” is in full swing.
Even in its slipperiest moments, #Weapons is never less than thrilling to look at, to listen to, to exist inside of. A tantalizing set-up that doubles down on the strength of its ensemble cast, camerawork and score, only a somewhat spotty narrative prevents this from spreading its wings and soaring.

This #WaroftheWorlds is a black mirror of the source material it hoped to update, disguised as a so-bad-it’s-good cosmic scale disaster set out to do so little, and achieved even less for the sake of this screenlife style.

Black warehouse worker wins £3,000 payout over colleague’s ‘slave’ graffiti
Seedy Fofana sought £500,000 compensation over graffiti that colleague in Gloucester did not mean as racial slur
A Black warehouse worker has won a race harassment claim after a disgruntled colleague wrote the word “slave” on a piece of machinery.
The colleague had meant it not as a racial slur but as an expression of his anger at, as he saw it, being overworked and underpaid, an employment tribunal heard. Continue reading...

Trump’s anti-voting executive order may have been blocked in court, but the GOP isn’t letting it go. Republicans are still implementing stricter voting laws, tossing out ballots, and scrubbing voter rolls.

While I can make peace with #M3GAN2.0 and its existence being entirely to show off, get laughs, look really cool and than disappear, there is such a thing as leaning too hard to where the tonal pendulum swings perilously close to self-parody. And it isn’t nearly as fun this time.

An exploitation film that doesn’t actually exploit and a pastiche eating fun-loving adventure aiming for cult classic movie status that has enough style and attitude and energy to power through its less effective narrative construction, #freakytales is a comfortably aloof 80’s throwback experience.

The Flanderization of ghibli in the public mind is just so insane to me. Acting like it’s entirely wholesome and cutesy but is really overtly anti capitalist, depict the horrors of war and environmental decline, and have TONS of body horror and depictions of death and disease. it legit annoys me

Despite honing extremely close to the facts and honoring the details of a harrowing event with proper respect, “Last Breath” is yet another firm reminder how not every tale of rescue, teamwork and defying impossible odds can be an adaptable feature on the silver screen.

In a rather depressing day and age where most movies either can’t settle on an identity or can’t make good on a predictable story without breaking it to pieces, #TheLegendofOchi feels designed to pay tribute to 1980’s children entertainment, a rocky closest time capsule back to that time period.

For the heist junkies out there, #DenofThievesPantera won’t melt your brain cells or challenge your intellect, but it clearly embraces its identity as an uncomplicated heist thriller that’s just passable enough to pass the time without overstaying its welcome. A cautious recommendation from me.
