Nothing is superb and nothing is awful. Solidly a middle of the road journey.

Free State of Jones (2016) 3/5
Undeniably entertaining, but Free State of Jones does not do so in any inspired way.
A swing at an epic that falls short when you start to feel the runtime.
Massive appreciation to director Gary Ross for trying to explain what is and is not real in the movie (http://freestateofjones.info/). I am amazed the site is still up and running all these years later.
Judas and the Black Messiah (2021) 4.5/5
Categories 4.5/5, Biography, Drama, History, Movie and Series Reviews 
It must have been incredibly hard to balance this movie. I can’t fault the age of the actors too much vs the real life people when no doubt they probably got people in seats and the movie made. Everyone is on their game and the story carefully balances how much of each character we get. I did feel a little longing for more knowledge of the politics in it but I appreciate the movie nonetheless.
Unfrosted (2024) 1/5

I can’t find a reason to encourage anyone to watch Unfrosted. Technical movie making keeps it from escaping falling any lower, but be not deceived, the movie is dreadful.
