    Gran Turismo

    ★★★★

    A victory for the gamers who are well immersed into Play Station and the lore of the driving simulator franchise; also a victory for anyone who enjoys racing in general. Intense sequences of competitive race driving and all of the hard work and preparation that goes into being a professional race driver garnered some shock along with a whole lot of respect.

    Candyman

    ★★★

    The modern update of the supernatural entity known as Candyman is impressive how it weaves racial and systemic inequalities, generational trauma, Cronenberg body horror, and Hitchcock inspired atmosphere. Nia DaCosta shows that she is a student of the great directors whose bread and butter are psychological thriller/horror; the handle of the camera with its revealing close ups, hypnotizing tracking shots, wide angles, and upside down/reserve motifs keep the viewer on edge and enclosing the senses in an inescapable prison of…
