The horror comedy anthology, Grind, made its premiere at SXSW! I’m here to tell you I was all about it and not just because it stars the lovely Barbara Crampton, amongst other fine actors. The four-part anthology focuses on the put-upon worker in the gray landscape of big corporations and capitalistic greed. It’s smart, funny,

I had the opportunity to see The Gates ahead of its March 13th release date with a mostly Black audience: It was a wild time! The only thing I knew about the film was Mason Gooding and his friends were in the wrong neighborhood. Seeing three Black men in enemy territory, meant the movie could

Night Patrol feels like someone took Colors (1988), Baller Blockin’ (2000), and 30 Days of Night (2007) and put them in a blender. The mix is unbalanced and chaotic, but entertaining nonetheless. Night Patrol reminds me of movies like Dead Heist (2007) and Bloodz vs. Wolvez (2006) in the best and worst ways. I love

Every few months, a prompt along the lines of “what song instantly makes you time-travel,” or “name a song that came out when you were sixteen,” or “what song do you most associate with a specific event” goes around social media.
