Dark Phoenix (2019) 22% EDIT “The 'X-Men' franchise may need to retire. The ideas have been sucked dry and just like Dark Phoenix, they are no longer able to control themselves.” – BET.com Jun 6, 2019 Full Review Bolden (2019) 70% A EDIT “Considering how so many Black biopics are botched and exploitative, this film was a proper salute to the late, great Buddy Bolden.” – BET.com May 2, 2019 Full Review Overlord (2018) 82% B EDIT “'Overlord' is clearly going for a thrill ride and not cinematic gold. Even with eye-rolling moments, there is enough redemptive gore and action that will satisfy fans of the genre.” – News One Nov 8, 2018 Full Review The Hate U Give (2018) 97% EDIT “The film is released with the crucial midterm election just next month. After watching, hopefully people will be inspired to vote to stop the hate that is currently being given to us every day by the Trump administration.” – News One Oct 5, 2018 Full Review BlacKkKlansman (2018) 96% B+ EDIT “His latest movie is unapologetic and witty, but still accessible and relatable. 'BlacKkKlansman' is definitely a Spike Lee instant classic.” – News One Aug 8, 2018 Full Review The First Purge (2018) 55% C+ EDIT “Damn near terrible, but Daniel from 'Insecure' saved the cinematic day.” – News One Jul 3, 2018 Full Review Avengers: Infinity War (2018) 85% B- EDIT “There is a fissure between critics and audiences, which I can admit. The movie is critic-proof. 'Avengers: Infinity War' is superhero porn, strictly for the fans, while 'Black Panther' was undeniably excellent, transcending the comic book fan base.” – News One Apr 25, 2018 Full Review Triumph: The Untold Story of Perry Wallace (2018) B EDIT “An inspiring tale of how to find your personal strength, even when you are at your lowest.” – News One Mar 28, 2018 Full Review A Wrinkle in Time (2018) 43% B EDIT “A star is born in Storm Reid.” – News One Mar 8, 2018 Full Review The Final Year (2017) 83% B EDIT “Intimate, revelatory and seriously important, 'The Final Year' is a time capsule of the dignity and grace that was once in The White House.” – News One Mar 5, 2018 Full Review Black Panther (2018) 96% A EDIT “Innovative, intelligent and empowering. When I was younger, all we had was Billy Dee Williams in Star Wars. Black and brown children need a movie like Black Panther to boost their imagination and help them to dream the impossible.” – News One Feb 6, 2018 Full Review Mudbound (2017) 97% B+ EDIT “If you had any doubts Mary J. Blige was an actress, 'Mudbound' proves you wrong.” – BET.com Oct 18, 2017 Full Review For Ahkeem (2017) 96% B EDIT “The movie isn't explicitly message heavy but by telling the story of Daje without reality show-type finagling, there is a clear message to see people beyond their stats, voting demographics and segments on cable news.” – BET.com Oct 13, 2017 Full Review Copwatch (2017) 60% B EDIT “Not only timely, but important.” – BET.com Sep 29, 2017 Full Review It (2017) 85% D EDIT “An overly CGI-ed killer clown who looks like a drag queen in need of a solid lace front just isn't scary in 2017. Many critics are praising 'It,' but I doubt audiences will feel the same punch. 'It' is one of the biggest disappointments of the year.” – BET.com Sep 7, 2017 Full Review Whose Streets? (2017) 98% A EDIT “Hearing their fears and hopes fleshed out their identity of 'activists' beyond clips on cable news channels. Frame after frame, Folayan and Davis aimed for the heart and hit the bullseye.” – BET.com Aug 11, 2017 Full Review Kidnap (2017) 35% B EDIT “The movie is fitting for its genre: a nail-biting thriller that will certainly require a post-show cocktail to calm your nerves. Hold on to your wig, 'Kidnap' is a hell of a ride.” – BET.com Aug 3, 2017 Full Review Atomic Blonde (2017) 79% D EDIT “Atomically underwhelming.” – BET.com Jul 28, 2017 Full Review Wonder Woman (2017) 93% B EDIT “Far from flawless, but 'Wonder Woman' is arguably the best DC comic book film since 'The Dark Knight.' So, bow down to the Princess.” – BET.com May 31, 2017 Full Review A Suitable Girl (2017) 88% EDIT “Regardless of your background, it's impossible to not be moved by A Suitable Girl.” – BET.com May 17, 2017 Full Review Alien: Covenant (2017) 65% D EDIT “An intergalactic dud, but will loyal fans care?” – BET.com May 12, 2017 Full Review Clive Davis: The Soundtrack of Our Lives (2017) 82% B+ EDIT “From Miles Davis to Janis Joplin to The Notorious B.I.G. to Whitney Houston, if you love music, you will love this documentary.” – BET.com Apr 20, 2017 Full Review Get Out (2017) 98% B+ EDIT “The first must-see film of the year.” – BET.com Feb 23, 2017 Full Review I Am Not Your Negro (2016) 99% A EDIT “Each frame is so relevant, it's terrifying. It's as if James Baldwin rose from the grave, warning us of the horrors we've ignored and the horrors that might be ahead.” – BET.com Dec 16, 2016 Full Review Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) 84% B+ EDIT “As we rebels prepare to fight the empire of Trump, the film is more pertinent than ever.” – BET.com Dec 15, 2016 Full Review
