Stranger Fruit (2017)
Seems like the 4chan drones are review bombing again
Very poignant look at the life and death of Michael Brown. Everyone knew it was a cover up. The same old patterns of the slave patrol being perpetuated by white folks in denial.
All ththe evidence about the assisination of Michale Brown's character is on display. Spin for the media and to manipulate the public to defend one of their own officers.
The review bombers stem from the racist 4chan or alt right (now alt lite) boys clubs. The coordinated effort to eradicate any sense of egalitarianism is priority one.
The filmmakers do an admirable job on exposing systemic racism and corruption. If you don't believe that Michael Brown is human, or that black people are humans, then it's easier to buy into the Tomi Lahren narrative that supports white supremacy.
Hats off to Pollock. Well done. A film for grown ups.
Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)
Fantastic entertainment!
True to the spirit of the original trilogy, this film was all about adventure. It was basically a heist movie - and it does it well. Ron Howard brought the best out of the actors. The Kasdans usually deliver excellent writing.
Many nods and winks that Star Wars fans will pick up on. 'Don't trust anyone' Beckett says, but Solo trusts Chewie - a friend friendship is born.
Watch for cameos as well. Several plot twists will keep you guessing.
Just what the doctor ordered. I rank this higher than the prequels - on par with the Force Awakens and Rogie One. This film is certainly less heavy than Rogue One - and it fits with Han's happy-go-lucky and l'ooking out for number one' attitude that surfaces in a New Hope.
There are some issues with the story arc and when this story occurred in the Star Wars timeline. There are theories out there that can explain better than I can.
Don't get duped by the negative review bombers whining about SJWs, women and minorities. They are scared because they aren't centered in every single thing. Many of those who leave bad reviews haven't seen the film. Just bitter and petulant fanboys who can't stand that they don't own the story.
I will see it again this weekend. Enjoy everyone!
