Honestly, this was just okay. Familiar trope of family moving to a haunted property but fall short in many areas due to laziness in the storytelling. Good option if you’re looking for a superficial horror movie, though.
Amazing satire with several laugh out loud moments that didn’t feel forced. The plot of Black creatives being pigeonholed by genres does feel more relevant to literature of the late 90s, which makes sense since the movie was adapted from a book released in 2001, though that glass ceiling undoubtedly transcends just literature. Great casting.
More art from my faves! This time, I'm taking a trip to the Brooklyn Museum. It's cold and wet, as the snow melts here in New York, and the museum is hosting the 'One Basquiat' exhibit of the late Jean-Michel Basquiat. I'm super excited to see this specific exhibit as this will actually be my first time seeing one of his pieces in person.
I'll admit that when I heard that half of Key & Peele's comedic duo was doing a horror movie about racism in America, I was annoyed. I scoffed thinking it was yet another ploy by the man that shucked & jived for years on Comedy Central for white frat bro's to make bank at the expense of Black caricatures. IDK.
