50 Critics: Dear Mama
A 50 word critique of the Allen Hughes documentary “Dear Mama”.
Dear Mama is a heartfelt love letter to the legacy created by Hip Hop icon Tupac Shakur and his charismatic mother, Afeni. The icing on the cake is that Allen Hughes directed, so it’s an amazing tribute from a friend who knew Tupac from the very beginning of his career.

50 Critics: Squid Games
Though it ends on somewhat of a stalemate note, The Squid Games is a certainly clever metaphor of a story about how we are all just rats in a maze who are running a rat race to make it to the next big score that will save our miserable lives.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Fear of a Black Hat
Fear of a Black Hat, a Rusty Cundieff film, is one of my all-time favorite movies when I need to laugh. We’re talking Kentucky-Fried Movie territory. You want the uncut version, otherwise you don’t get the Ice Froggy Frog video (below) at the beginning or the discussion about artistic integrity in Cleveland. I own the cut version (😥)—couldn’t find the uncut version at that time, no extra money for it right now, but you aren’t me, so buy the uncut version.

Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."
