FILM
Revisiting Malcolm X
In honor of Black History Month, I will be reviewing one of my favorite films of all time: Spike Lee’s “Malcolm X.”
Fill The Void (Rama Burshtein)
Fill the Void explores the conflict between familial duties and personal desires in a deeply religious Hasidic neighborhood.
TELEVISION
Netflix’s “Emily in Paris” is full of stereotypes, but provides needed escape.
Although the show is filled with over-the-top cliches about Parisian life, perhaps a bit of escapism is exactly what we need.
Netflix’s “Cursed” (Season 1 Review)
Given the lack of female lead roles in fantasy and action productions, Netflix has decided to put a feminist spin on its ten-episode fantasy/adventure show, Cursed, based on the young adult graphic novel by Frank Miller and Tom Wheeler.
MUSIC
Black Eyed Peas: Translation (Album Review)
Translation feels like a love letter to Latin music as the group experiments with several Latin genres including reggaetón, dembow, moombahton and Latin trap.
Pentatonix: At Home (EP Review)
The five-member a capella group deliver an impressive quarantine-themed EP that encapsulates the highs and lows of life under lockdown.
