“Movie: 12 Years a Slave”
The true story of Solomon Northup
— a free man in the North who was
kidnapped and became enslaved in
the South — is told in director Steve
McQueen’s superb 2013 telling of
Northup’s own book, with Chiwetel
Ejiofor excellent in the central role.
Co-star Lupita Nyong’o earned awards
for her wrenching portrayal of another
slave. Michael Fassbender, Sarah
Paulson and Brad Pitt also star.
“Movie: Here Comes the Boom”
“Movie: Burning”
“Harlem”
Kevin James as a Mixed Martial Arts
fighter? Unlikely, to be sure, but also
reasonably fun in this 2012 comedy
that suggests how far teachers will go to
protect programs in their curriculum.
That’s the setup as James plays such an
instructor, who takes up fighting to raise
the funds to keep students’ music playing
in his high school. Salma Hayek and
Henry Winkler also star.
From Australian filmmaker Eva
Orner (“Chasing Asylum”) comes this
documentary about the catastrophic
Australian bushfires of 2019-20, which
torched more than 59 million acres,
killed an estimated three billion animals
and affected millions of Australians.
The story is told from the perspectives
of victims of the fires, activists and
scientists. (ORIGINAL)
From “Girls Trip” creator Tracy Oliver
comes this 10-episode comedy series
that’s set in the title neighborhood in
Manhattan and follows four stylish and
ambitious girlfriends as they pursue the
next stages of their careers, relationships
and dreams. Meagan Good, Grace
Byers, Shoniqua Shandai, Jerrie
Johnson and Tyler LePley head the cast.
