Black Cinema Celebrates: Barry Michael Cooper
On January 22, 2025 it was announced that filmmaker Barry Michael Cooper had passed away. As a big movie buff, especially for Black cinema, i for one was definitely sad to hear the news that he died because his films are some of my favorite movies ever. So I wanna take a minute to pay tribute to Barry and all the stories he brought to the big screen.

Do you believe in ghosts?
Disclaimer: My American/Canadian/International friends, I apologise in advance for tempting you with a British TV/radio programme that you probably won't be able to watch/listen to. It could be that there is some way that you can access this. Perhaps the BBC will allow Netflix to have the TV rights like they did "Happy Valley". If you do get a chance to watch it, do. You won't be disappointed.

Deja Vu Until The Plot Twist. Content Warning.
No, this is not a new series. I'm making this point more for myself, because with this being a new show, part of me is itching on doing a review. I just don't have the time, but I did not want to shy away from a chance to write about what I think will be an amazing show.

A Shockingly Relevant Film From 1957
My husband and I have a subscription to the Criterion Channel streaming service. Every month Criterion will organize its films into themed compilations. Some are pretentious sounding like ‘Cinema Verité’ others are kind of silly like ‘The Mustache Club.’ But they often help us decide what to watch. The theme that caught our eye this month was ‘Cast Against Type: Heroes as Villains.’ I love it when an actor shows off their range.

The End of The Tour (2015)
I have a confession to make: I was yesterday years old when I discovered David Foster Wallace and his significance as a contemporary American writer. I'll turn 55 in a couple of weeks. I know, it's embarrassing. My only excuse is that I lived half of my life in the Soviet and post-Soviet cultures.

My Aims for 2025
As we know, I have moments where I go in and out of deep-dives when it comes to literature. You only have to look at what I'm publishing to know whether I am in the midst or have just raised my head above the water of a in-depth analysis of some niche and odd topic such as: disasters on the sea, 18th Century French Enlightenment Politics, marketing, books about female friendship, books about men at war and many other things that have made their way into the last year or so.

'A Complete Unknown' - A Review
It was a very pleasant surprise to come home on the Tuesday of this past week and discover, over dinner and exams needing my evaluations, that I had won a pair of passes to see an early showing of the Bob Dylan biography, “A Complete Unknown”. It was the very next day – 7 pm on Wednesday at Banque Scotia Cinemas in Montréal – and I could not find anyone at the last minute to join me.
