BlackKkKlasnman review


Based on true events BlackKkKlansman follows the story of Ron Stallworth. An African-American police officer from Colorado USA, who manages to successfully infiltrate the local Ku Klux Klan with the help of a white surrogate who eventually ends up becoming the head of the branch. Starring Adam Driver and John David Washington BlackKkKlansman is a strong and deep delve into the cult. Directed by Spike Lee it really leaves little to the imagination as it depicts the group's history background and members and is overall a really enjoyable and interesting experience.

Both John David Washington and Adam Driver play the character Ron Stallworth. Washington does the talking over the phone to get into the Klan's good books while Driver shows up to meet the members in person. And boy oh boy are some of these members terrifying. Especially one member named Felix who is constantly on top of Ron in the flesh as he is convinced he is a jew. This leads to him becoming easily the most fascinating character throughout in my opinion as he is heavily featured throughout. The other members are also not trusting at first but after time Driver gets to meet the grand wizard himself David Duke as he is officially in listed into the cult. It's all very well made with such a fun soundtrack and witty dialogue.
BlackKkKlansman is not going to be for everyone but it offers a very interesting delve into the Ku Klux Klan that at times is horrific and others silly. The pacing throughout is really good also as the movie speeds along really well. It's also absolutely hilarious at times as characters interact with people and the ever changing world around them. Spike Lee has really knocked this one out of the park. While it isn't perfect it is damn sure near close. Brilliant!

★★★★

Fighting with my Family review

Image
The Knight Family are a unique bunch to say the least. Not only do all the children wrestle but so do the mother and father. And out of that we got Paige. Florence Pugh stars as Saraya Knight a young girl from Norwich England. Her brother Zak Knight played by Jack Lowden has one dream. Of making it to the WWE and he will do anything to make it all possible. At it's core Fighting With My Family is exactly what the title says. A family who fight as we're shown the entire Knight family wrestling in small venues in Norwich. Ricky Knight who is the father wants so much for his kids to succeed and after sending tapes to WWE for them to review and possibly accept both Saraya and Zak for a tryout the family gets it's wish as WWE visits the UK for it's European tour. This is when we meet Vince Vaughn's character who is the guy in charge of recruiting talent and pushing them to see how far they can go and how much they have in them to make it to the top.

Superman & Lois 3x13 : What Kills You Only Makes You Stronger review

Image
                Be warned there will be SP OILERS* inv olved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. Season 3 of Superman and Lois has come to and end in the most devastatingly epic way. The finale opens up with Sam Lane telling Lois and Clark that Lex Luthor is nowhere to be found. Clark adds more to this by saying he can't hear him either but Lois is not convinced after all Lex did literally threaten her at the end of last weeks episode. A meteor shower is planned for the evening right at the center of Smallville town so you just know something is going to go down then and as expected something major does go down but more on that a bit later. As the boys leave the house Lois tells Clark that she is ready to be intimate again and the two fly off to a private secluded area where they can be together for the first time since Lois had her breasts removed due to her cancer. It's a tender moment and one that does feel very important fo...
