Apr 29, 2014Kid Finds Magic Basketball Sneakers
Utterly insipid family film about an orphan kid who is given a magical set of sneakers that turn him into a basketball star who is "like Mike [Jordan]." Little more than a glorified commercial for the NBA film where everything that happens is written entirely by cliche

Aug 17, 2013Superhero Wannabes
I wasn't a huge fan of the original but this sequel is a much better film that gives the characters a thorough workover while making clever play out of the contrasts of masked superhero and reality that ran through the first film. As before, Chloe Grace Moretz owns the film and the scenes of her forced to be a normal girl are hilarious

Feb 5, 2017Psycho Surrogate Mother
A throwback to the 1980s/90s psycho-thriller that came out after Fatal Attraction featuring a surrogate mother who develops a stalkerish fixation on a husband. The crucial difference is that this is played with an all-Black cast but in a way that sends out weirdly uncomfortable racial messages
