Black Cop (2017)
Bravo
This is the first feature film for Writer/Director Cory Bowles and Producer Aaron Horton, and has proved to be a cinematic success creating countless important conversations since its opening at Toronto International Film Festival in the fall of 2017. The 90 minute film, recipient of Telefilm Canada's Talent Fund Micro-budget Production, is an intrepid work of art that plunges deep into the narrative of race relations and the issues with law Enforcement that African Americans face daily. The film flips the script and calls upon the viewer after seeing issues from multiple angles to draw their own conclusions. I feel like the writer wanted to present ideas and solicit perspectives as much as he wanted to tell a story. A great deal of creative chances were taken with this film and luckily they were pulled off exceptionally. Filmed in my home province of Nova Scotia I would give this film a #10 for its courage and the soundtrack alone. Bravo for Ronnie Rowe Jr. and Sophia Walker for notable performances. I look forward to seeing what this team produces in the future.
Léon (1994)
A Fantastic/action drama
Watching the friendship and bond that grows between newly orphaned Matilda and highly skilled assassin Leon is so well done. It quietly wreaks of emotion without being overdone. I adore Natalie Portman in this role and an amazing performance by Gary Oldman. I would watch this again.
Sleepers (1996)
Gripping
Sleepers. WOW
I can't believe I had missed this movie years ago! It boasts a fantastic cast, all delivering captivating performances. The story
line grabbed me from the beginning and held my attention, often with my stomach in knots with dread and/or anticipation. A heart wrenching story of friendship and redemption that you won't soon forget.
Rush (1991)
A Powerful Drama
Two undercover police officers in small town Texas are catapulted into the world of illegal narcotics, they find themselves in love and addicted to drugs. Notable performances for both Jennifer Jason Leigh and Jason Patric. There are a couple of scenes in this movie that really rip at your heart. A well done, powerful drama that I have watched many times.
