Despite having appeared in six Marvel Cinematic Universe features and having ascended to the leader of the Avengers by its Endgame audiences never really got to know Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow. Whereas other core team members like Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, and even multiple Hulks were the subject of multiple standalone stories to flesh out their backstories, the history and motivations of reformed Russian spy Natasha Romanoff was always left to a series of offhand allusions to a vaguely dark, cryptically complicated past. Alas, it took a tragic sacrifice (and then a pandemic delay) to give her the spotlight she deserved, albeit in flashback form to fill in the long-missing pieces.

What could possibly go wrong? Two low-level crooks, both near strangers to each other, are asked to “babysit” a man’s family while he retrieves some documents for their employer. Well… everything; everything can go wrong, and did, in this maze-like crime drama about the mob, murders, lies, and corruption. A couple of infamous criminals, Curt Goynes (Don Cheadle) and Ronald Russo (Benicio Del Toro), in 1950’s Detroit fall deeper and deeper into a scandal as they uncover the layers of a well-hidden secret. Attempting to use it to their advantage and up their payout, both try to double-cross their employer, the other players, and each other to come out on top. Based on a true story surrounding the automotive industry at Detroit’s height of success, No Sudden Move proves what a scuzzy industry it really was (and let’s be honest… still is).

A cultural artifact, a historical document, and a musical masterpiece, Summer of Soul is truly a documentary we are lucky to get to see. When considering how there is a world where we may never have gotten the chance to lay eyes upon any of the footage of the once in a lifetime musical event, that only makes the experience all the more special to witness it now.

A combination of halfhearted attempts to make a transient political statement about the nature of power and lackluster action that never takes hold, The Forever Purge is a fundamentally flawed attempt to reinvent the series.

I wish I could go back in time to stop myself from watching The Tomorrow War. Better yet, I wish I could go back in time to stop the film itself from existing.
