Driving While Black (2019) - Movie Review

Details: Published: 31 January 2019; Written by Loron Hays

The personal anecdotes that make up Driving While Black, a hilarious but scathing commentary on police profiling, are based in reality. Frightening. That fact alone should make this film a must-see. The comedy, housed within Los Angeles, is unrelenting in its efforts to provide ...

Details: Published: 28 January 2019; Written by Loron Hays

It is a film that Roger Ebert eviscerated with his review, taking the moral high ground and shaming 10 to Midnight for its portrayal of sex, violence, and the female condition. He also took to the review to suggest that Charles Bronson was just showing up for a paycheck. And, ...
