‘An Unkindness Of Ghosts’ Is Space Afrofuturism At Its Best

An Unkindness of Ghosts is an experience that will leave you asking questions about identity, ethnicity, love, familial kinship, autonomy, responsibility, group economics, and power structures.  Set in the future yet, unnervingly reflective of the harmful chattel slavery past of the United States, An Unkindness of Ghosts tackles big questions through the eyes and experiences of a protagonist who is wholly unique.  Filled with prose, poems, and fables … Continue reading ‘An Unkindness Of Ghosts’ Is Space Afrofuturism At Its Best

Almost Human: Just another buddy cop show

I wanted to like Almost Human. I really did. But I don’t. It is set in 2048, it has Androids, it has great technological advances but it is completely and utterly lacking in giving the audience more than a weekly dose of solving a crime and moving on in a typical TV crime solving drama fashion. Snooze alert. They could have done so much. They … Continue reading Almost Human: Just another buddy cop show

There have been examples where a Scifi movie can be successful when a Black couple is featured but unfortunately the romantic relationship between Black couples is still not … Continue reading The Top Black Couples in Scifi and Fantasy Movies

Sleepy Hollow’s Abbie should be replaced by Jenny

Sleepy Hollow has the potential to be Fall 2013’s breakout hit sensation. It has already been renewed for a second season and has drawn in a large audience but it has flaws. It’s greatest flaw falls into the casting of Nicole Beharie as Abbie. The show is anchored around Ichabod and Abbie and there is absolutely no chemistry between these two characters.  Abbie is a boring … Continue reading Sleepy Hollow’s Abbie should be replaced by Jenny
