Thunderbolts* (2025) 88% 4.5/5 EDIT “This is the best Marvel film in years, but sometimes I wonder if that means much to people other than its core audience. ” – Black Girl Nerds Apr 29, 2025 Full Review But I'm a Cheerleader (1999) 43% 3/5 EDIT “1999’s 'But I’m a Cheerleader' had all the potential to be a devastating drama. With just a little tweaking here and there, the film’s campy, satirical edge could have been blunted into something more dire and harder to watch.” – Black Girl Nerds Jun 16, 2023 Full Review At Midnight (2023) 42% 2/5 EDIT “The biggest problem with 'At Midnight' is that it harkens to the best of Old Hollywood’s romantic films without many of the qualities that made those early pictures so memorable. ” – Black Girl Nerds Feb 10, 2023 Full Review It's a Wonderful Binge (2022) 25% 0/5 EDIT “I hated this movie with every fiber of my being, but I don’t blame it on the actors or their acting and I don’t fault them for signing up for this mess. But I do have a new loathing for VanDina.” – Black Girl Nerds Dec 12, 2022 Full Review A Tree of Life: The Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting (2021) 100% 3.5/5 EDIT “'A Tree of Life' succeeds largely because, while it is necessarily a tough viewing, it is extremely hopeful. It briefly looks at 20th-century American antisemitism. But it also shines a light on solidarity.” – Black Girl Nerds Oct 31, 2022 Full Review Scary Movie (2000) 51% 1/5 EDIT “To say 'Scary Movie' isn’t hilarious in parts would be a lie, although I do suspect the film is funnier in YouTube clips than as a whole. ” – Black Girl Nerds Oct 12, 2022 Full Review Orphan (2009) 60% 5/5 EDIT “'Orphan' is very exploitative of unfair fears. But I feel this works to its credit as a proud B-grade horror flick, what I like to call top-tier low-quality films. It just so happens that it is also ingeniously crafted. ” – Black Girl Nerds Sep 1, 2022 Full Review Katrina Babies (2022) 100% 5/5 EDIT “'Katrina Babies' seems to say New Orleans wasn’t rebuilt, but, rather, built over. The formerly Black neighborhoods have been broken up and gentrified. And, sometimes, the old residents are too afraid of the new New Orleans to ever come home.” – Black Girl Nerds Aug 19, 2022 Full Review The Princess (2022) 85% 3.5/5 EDIT “ It will give you no new insight into a well-documented woman, but it may give you pause before patronizing the type of media outlets that Diana at times weaponized in battles with her ex over public perception and other times avoided at all costs.” – Black Girl Nerds Aug 11, 2022 Full Review Jurassic Park (1993) 91% 5/5 EDIT “'Jurassic Park' has staying power because it is not afraid to be about something while also maintaining its sense of the spectacular, that is, the sensory aspects of drama and filmmaking.” – Black Girl Nerds Jun 27, 2022 Full Review Jerry & Marge Go Large (2022) 67% 2/5 EDIT “It’s puff with nothing new to say.” – Black Girl Nerds Jun 17, 2022 Full Review Mean Girls (2004) 84% 5/5 EDIT “This film was and is popular precisely because it is so good. What does “good” mean here? Funny. Piercing. Insightful. Well-acted. 'Mean Girls' is good because it’s real.” – Black Girl Nerds Jun 15, 2022 Full Review Species (1995) 42% 3.5/5 EDIT “It’s bad, but it’s not terrible. It has everything you love about B-movies including the evil scientists, a government cover-up, and a stoic badass with an impossible name (Preston Lennox?). At over ninety minutes, 'Species' never overstays its welcome. ” – Black Girl Nerds May 20, 2022 Full Review Look at Me: XXXTENTACION (2022) 92% 4/5 EDIT “The documentary is not a hagiography. It is not the legend of a martyr slain in the prime of his goodness and life. It is the story of a wildly troubled young man shot to death eight months before the birth of his child. ” – Black Girl Nerds May 16, 2022 Full Review Undercover Brother (2002) 78% 5/5 EDIT “Its occasionally muddled, and at times insidious messaging aside, 'Undercover Brother' works as a love letter to the 70s where, in the film's view, Black consciousness and Black heroes ruled the land.” – Black Girl Nerds Apr 28, 2022 Full Review Con Air (1997) 59% 2.5/5 EDIT “'Con Air' exists as a divisive film because it puts as much attention into being cheesy as it does to being sincere without ever letting on which tone it actually aims to achieve.” – Black Girl Nerds Apr 26, 2022 Full Review Pootie Tang (2001) 27% 1.5/5 EDIT “'Pootie Tang' seems to have all the earmarks of a film that suffered from too many cooks adding their own special ingredients. ” – Black Girl Nerds Apr 18, 2022 Full Review Men in Black (1997) 91% 5/5 EDIT “'Men in Black' is just damn fun. The cast is perfect, Rick Bakers alien effects are chefs kiss, and the movie's runtime makes sure the film doesnt overstay its welcome. ” – Black Girl Nerds Apr 8, 2022 Full Review Liar Liar (1997) 83% 4.5/5 EDIT “Its not just Carrey as a comedic performer that makes this movie so enjoyable, its him as a very flawed, but very loving, father.” – Black Girl Nerds Apr 5, 2022 Full Review How to Survive a Pandemic (2022) 82% 3.5/5 EDIT “This, if we cant get that listicle-as-film, works to keep viewers interested in reopening wounds that may have just barely started to close. In the end, its worth it just to see all the political crap of developing a life-saving medicine.” – Black Girl Nerds Mar 29, 2022 Full Review White Men Can't Jump (1992) 75% 3.5/5 EDIT “Where 'White Men Cant Jump' fails to make any enlightening point concerning race, it does an amazing job highlighting male hypocrisy.” – Black Girl Nerds Mar 1, 2022 Full Review Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986) 83% 4/5 EDIT “'Ferris Buellers Day Off' celebrates life, even when that celebration can feel hedonistic and egotistic. ” – Black Girl Nerds Mar 1, 2022 Full Review Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989) 83% 4.5/5 EDIT “The films logic, where it exists, is cartoonish, even tautological. There is never a situation the boys cant get out of because their future selves have already devised clues and gadgets to get them out of any pinch. ” – Black Girl Nerds Mar 1, 2022 Full Review Back to the Future (1985) 92% 5/5 EDIT “It is perfectly 80s with its soundtrack, its fashion, and its gratuitous use of s-bombs in a PG-rated film. I imagine itll be hard for anyone who enjoys fun and mirth not to have a good time watching this movie. ” – Black Girl Nerds Mar 1, 2022 Full Review Beverly Hills Cop (1984) 83% 3.5/5 EDIT “'Beverly Hills Cop' works as an action movie supported by Eddie Murphys comedic timing and inexhaustible charisma. Reinholds goofy but endearing Det. Rosewood also provides heart and hearty laughs. ” – Black Girl Nerds Mar 1, 2022 Full Review
