Invincible (S2 Premiere) | Paved with Good Intentions

This was an amazing way to start a season. #InvincibleSeason2 hit all the right notes and handled a popular trope like a pro. #PrimeVideo #Invicible #SeasonPremiere

BrownGrey Griffin Review As long as it has been since the first season, I had little to no trouble remembering it. However, that opening scene immediately intrigued me, even if that version of events clued me to what was happening since that particular trope…

We’re all in the loop and out of the loop. We think it���s gonna happen, but it’s still up in the air. There’s so much going on with all of these studios that it’s just like, ‘Well, we gotta settle this thing first, then we can really decide on that thing.’ A bunch of that is going on. We hope so. Seth has an amazing relationship with Dana [Walden] and with Disney, who’s running it now. And they said they’ve had promising meetings, so we’ll see.

Chad L. Coleman, on whether or not The Orville will be renewed

please please this is literally the only thing that could save me from a terrible current media landscape

A Practically Nonsensical Review: The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster

"If death is a disease, then there is a cure."

A Black led, surreal modernization of Frankenstein. Exploring the viscous cycles from violence, poverty, and generational trauma. While also exploring the power in identity, history, and creation in its many forms. Creation and continuous status quo of life, invention, and system.

The film was overall an interesting, bloodied time, and it looked great! But had trouble keeping the engaging momentum with the constant battle of tone and genre.

All together, I enjoyed it.

31 Days of Horror! Day Fifteen: The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster

I didn't know what to expect going into this movie, only that it was going to be very reminiscent of the story of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. I am very excited to say that my expectations going into this movie were surpassed. It was a brilliant film.

The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster was the directorial debut of director Bomani J. Story and produced by Crypt TV. It stars Layla DeLeon Hayes, Chad L. Coleman, Denzel Whitaker, and Edem Atsu-Swanzy.

The movie follows a teenage black woman with a brilliant scientific mind who successfully resurrects her dead brother, Chris. But things go wrong. Horribly wrong.

This movie, as I said earlier, takes inspiration from Mary Shelley's classic and gives it a more modern rehash, and a primarily black cast The movie had themes pertaining to racial and social issues, and didn't use the characters or the settings as stereotypes. The characters were all likeable and I felt really invested in all of them.

The story is also a very tragic one. Vicaria is a teenage girl who by the time the movie is underway has lost a mother and a brother. Her philosophy of death being a disease, while farfetched, is a reasonable conclusion to come to. She's lost people, and she had no one to really help her understand her grief. She retreated into her scientific mind.

Another thing I really liked, is that none of our main characters are cut-and-dry antagonists. Sure, some of them do antagonistic things, but every character has reasons for the things they do that is understandable. While characters make decisions, I don't necessarily blame them for them. If anything, the system that in which these decisions to be made is the real monster.

It's a tangent. But I loved this movie. It was intense, it was sad, and it made me think. :)
