A great campy, black comedy, with a wonderful and refreshing take on the zombie genre.

A top-tier entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, more important culturally than ground-breaking artistically.

An ok black comedy/drama. It has a good cast and has some funny moments, not quite sure why it was so hyped though?

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2103 KP) rated The Black Jacket Mystery (Trixie Belden, #8) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

There's a new kid in town, and since strange things have started happening, Trixie thinks he's up to no good. Besides, he's always wearing that black jacket. Is she right? I love this book to this day, especially the great climax.

Before Blade (1998), superhero movies were always trying to ice skate uphill. 20th Anniversary Review

Twenty years before “Black Panther”, Marvel partnered with New Line to release a black-led superhero movie which would see them help kick-start the current superhero boom as well as changing the course of their movie adaptations to that point...

Book Favorite

"James Baldwin remains one of the most prolific and prophetic writers to have lived. Every page had been stamped by a genius. This autobiographical collection of essays moved my heart, expanded my mind to the larger, richer perspective of the black experience in Civil Rights America, and firmed up my opinion that, “There is more to being black than meets the eye.”"

Movie Favorite

"Polanski was so inventive in this film. The black and white, the music mixed with the images of her walking through London. The rabbit. Hands coming through the walls. Polanski is a master of tension in unexpected details. Like when she's giving the manicure and cuts the woman’s cuticles . . . I'm pretty sure Aronofsky was huffing these fumes with Black Swan."
