    Hanging by a Thread

    ★★★½

    One of the most beautiful displays of vulnerability I’ve seen in a minute. I’m over the moon about people taking mental health seriously. This short is an example of someone who not only went through a dark time but is telling his story and encouraging others to seek help if needed.

    ★★½

    Love Jones is such a odd case for me. I recommend seeing this movie for anyone who is curious even though I expected more. Love Jones disappointed me because it was far from the super romantic movie that is associated with it. I wouldn’t call they’re relationship toxic but it is dysfunctional as hell. I’m happy they’re relationship isn’t on The Notebook’s level but it’s still bad.

    For one Larenz Tate came off as a major creep. Bro has no…
