ZOLA (Sundance 2020 Premiere)
Basically, ZOLA is a recounting of how Zola (Taylour Paige) (pretty, 20-something black female) meets Stefani (Riley Keough )(pretty 20-something white female), it seems one exotic dancer can always recognize another, and they strike up a friendship, which goes horribly wrong when Stefani invites Zola on a road trip to Tampa to dance. Strippers can make more money traveling to other cities to work the pole, as they’re considered “new talent” to customers tired of the same ol girls. I don’t think any trouble would have come of the trip if the girls were on their own, Unfortunately, they are accompanied by Stefani’s dim-witted boyfriend Derrick (Nicholas Braun ) and…

The Boys picked up the action in 2003 with Bad Boys II,…

Just Mercy
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor This was the opening night film at The 28th Annual Philadelphia Film Festival (Oct 17-28) starring Michael B Jordan, Jamie Foxx and Brie Larson in a supporting role. It zeros in on one particular case of world-renowned civil rights defense attorney Bryan Stevenson‘s work to free a wrongly condemned death row prisoner. It’s one of these movies you want to get behind, like CLEMENCY, because you know they are making important statements on society, justice and black life, and they are technically well-done, however, neither movie is very good in terms of enjoyment. That may sound superficial or trifling, but there are movies like The…
