The official name for this film is not Allegiant, but The Divergent Series: Allegiant – Part 1, and that is down right terrible for a few reasons. One, the first movie was called Divergent, not The Divergent Series: Divergent. You knew there would be more movies, you shouldn’t try to change the series names after …

Zootopia
2016 has a sizable collection of animated movies coming out this year. I’d list them, but that makes for a boring read. A common theme I see is the classic “Animals doing human people things.” We technically had it with Kung Fu Panda 3, but it was at least set in the past. This year …

Black Or White
The middle day of Blackweek and also the last expected review for this theme. I had said three movies came out in January with Black in the title, and you probably could figure them out. Day 4 and 5 are a mystery though! Black or White is the first (and only? We will seeee) of …

Insurgent
The Divergent series has the honor of being the next Hunger Games series, movie wise. Even if The Hunger Games still has one more movie yet to come out. You know.

Snowpiercer
I first heard about Snowpiercer like a lot of people when I was getting insulted by people with a lot of money. Despite making boat loads of money in South Korea where it debuted, The Weinstein Company wanted to delay its release in the US, like everything they grab. Why? To make cuts to the …

Fruitvale Station
Fruitvale Station is the true story of the last day of Oscar Grant’s life in 2009. Who is Oscar Grant and why should you care? Good question. This Wikipedia article sums it all up nice and…well in great fucking detail. So much detail. Not an easy read at all. Basically in an arrest, police officers …

The Help
Although The Help is based on a book, and that book is based on the authors actually experiences, politically this could just be considered another “feel good white people” movie. You know. The kind that deals with racism and stuff, but still is a story about white people dealing with racism, making it more appealing …
