    I could live in Mike Leigh's universe forever. I wanted two more hours with Pansy and the gang

    I liked this. Unfortunately, I left knowing little more about Bob Dylan's life.

    Tyler Perry has truly outdone himself. This is not a good thing.

    Freaknik: The Wildest Party Never Told

    ★½

    Hmmmm. This starts off with a talking head (not Killer Mike) calling Atlanta “Wakanda” so you already know what time it’s on. Of course, not enough is dedicated to the class dynamics that led to the eventual dissolution of Freaknik. The political and corporate interests surrounding the 1996 Olympics which led to the displacement of more than 20,000 people are glossed over. And in the end, Atlanta is celebrated for being the Black “Mecca” it is not.
