As we prepare for the opening of theaters and the return to normal life practices, we want to remind people that we are still within the thralls of a pandemic, and recommend people check out our article on ”If You Should Go Out” Here. Until then though, if you do go to a theater make sure it has a policy of requiring attendees to wear masks, and sit in isolated groups out of proximity of other viewers.

In Chicago, the first African American high school rowing team is shown in the documentary “A Most Beautiful Thing”. The story shows that the members of the team were made up of young men from gangs across Chicago, who prior to the group’s formation, were rivals with hate for one another. In the film, it is shown how they came together as a team.
This documentary was shown at South by Southwest to praise and is narrated by the musician Common. If you need a motivational documentary these days to feel like there is hope for humanity, then this will give you that hope.

Horror movies… I’m not a hater of horror, I just don’t understand horror outside of fall. I will say that I am not a fan of horror based on the issue of the disenfranchise and demonization of the concept of the elderly. The Elderly regularly are abused and ostracised for a factor out of their control, but if you make the conscious effort to dissociate the concept of older is evil, then feel free to enjoy your July horror film.

Rachel, played by Caren Pistorius, is late to work, trying to get her son to school when she cuts off another driver. The car she cuts off is a truck driven by a nefarious figure, played by Russell Crowe. What happens next, is the event makes the villain unhinged, (Roll Credits), and decides he wants to teach Rachel a lesson, hunting and harassing her to the brink of her sanity.
Road rage is a constant thing that we either see, or worry about as maniacs cut people off across the USA. We’ve seen racists more in modern time throwing and yelling from their cars in modern times, but it’s a serious problem. Russell Crowe does a terrifyingly impressive impersonation of that mentality, which makes me wonder how much of it is an act, but I jest. Looking for a horror-esc thriller, then this is it!
