Moonlight (2016)

Life is hard. Figuring out who you are and how you want to present yourself to the world is hard. Relationships, or the lack of them, is hard. Moonlight is a film about these hardships.

Rating: C+

13th (2016)

An incredibly depressing documentary about the how mass incarceration has essentially replaced slavery in America, and there’s no sign of it slowing down. A subtext of the film highlights America’s legacy of electing shitty leaders, as our system roots out the good ones long before they rise to the top. 

This would be a great documentary to be shown in high schools. A night of fun entertainment it ain't.

Always Be My Maybe (2019)

This movie about love-crossed Asians wasn’t as funny as it aspired to be. Some mild chukleworthy lines, but the relationship roller coaster grew a bit tiresome. Like one of the weaker episodes of Kim’s Convenience.

Rating: C

Extraction (2020)

The population the size of a small city had to die in order to save this one boy. He better freakin’ grow up to be Gandhi II in order to justify all this bloodshed. If you are in need of an action fix while in quarantine, this will do.

Rating: C

The Invisible Man (2020)

This film gave me severe anxiety and a slight tummy ache. Agonizingly long scenes of suspenseful music where I’m waiting for something to scare the living shit out of me.

Does that make for a fun moviegoing experience? For some. For me; a little bit. But I need some lighter moments and perhaps some comedy to break up the tension. There was no laughter.

I do like that moment in movies where all the doubters finally learn the truth and stop thinking the victim is crazy. It’s usually followed by their untimely death, but still.
