It’s a bit of a joy to see a black history movie that’s not about the horrors of slavery and one where the stereotypical “white savior” doesn’t swoop in to save the day.

FANATICAL ABOUT FILM!
Movies are our religion and the theater our church. Our gods are named Tarantino, Anderson and Scorsese.
We attend services 3-4 times a week and take our communion in the form of soda and popcorn. We offer up these reviews in hopes of pleasing our deities.
Please share your own comments on our reviews. We encourage all forms of respectful debate. We are, after all, “Fanatical About Film”!

DVD & Streaming: October
What’s new on DVD and streaming
“Brad’s Status”
“Brad’s Status” is one of those films that makes you feel bad when you exit the theater.
“American Made”
There’s an intoxicating energy to this unbelievable story, as director Doug Liman plays fast and loose with the actual facts and events.
“Flatliners”
At times the writing gets so laughable that it reaches near “Showgirls” proportions, making it a performance train wreck that is full of campy goodness.
“Kingsman: The Golden Circle”
The original film was a rare one that begged for a sequel and I’m glad we’ve been handed one.
