    Feels Good Man

    ★★★½

    fast forward to 2025:

    Infowars got bought out by The Onion. Watching that malignant turd richard spencer get punched in his bitch-face is still funny.
    I really shouldn't watch shit like this, my blood pressure is through the roof.

    Summer of Soul (...Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised)

    ★★★★★

    Sly and the Family Stone are Gods, manifest in human form so as to be perceived on this plane.
    David Ruffin, midway through an utterly ethereal rendition of 'My Girl,' points out into left field, acknowledging a Panther Security Volunteer, who is dancing in a tree.
    Nina Simone walks everything she talks and more, while nobody dares doubt her for a second. Her fingers touch the piano keys and an energy so powerfully full of duality; rage and joy, grief and elation, loss and abundance, emits from the stage, reverberating out into the city, into the present, into forever.

    Magical realism grapples with fantasy in what could have been a really great movie, but pacing and a concept not fully realized made it just ok.

    This compost heap of a poor-sploitation flick has cool, multi-colored, goo-laden blood and viscera...but the violent misogyny, racism and all manner of phobic behavior and dialogue puts it in the half-star pile.
