Selma (2014)
Though better casting choices were available than Oyelowo for the legendary Dr. MLK, Jr.: whose presence is left ~unrealized, Selma boasts a narrative of power & authenticity immersing you in the historical landscape to overcome flaws. 6.2/10.

The Purge: Election Year (2016)
Though it packs enough of its franchise’s signature disturbingly-imaginative visuals & costume design [+ well-scheduled election parallels] to near-pass entertainment wise, EY plays like a bad, unoriginal rehash of Anarchy w. a bad candy B-arc. 5.6/10.

The Purge (The TV Series)
Horrifically acted with snail-slow pacing, dramatically nerfed budget, and cop-out exposition spread too thin through overloaded dull character arcs given more focus than the event, this shameless Purge gimmick.. barely offers any Purge. 2.1/10.

Captain America: Civil War (2016)
Expansive in scope and detailed in execution with praise-worthy non-childish tone, political undercurrents in smart deliberation of the many casualties/side effects of superheroicism, perfect T’Challa-led additions, & epic final battle sequence. 8.9/10.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
The world’s biggest indie movie, BvS’ fine action, epic cameo, incredible Batfleck, & corruptibility-of-power/lust-for-control themes are mixed with a poorly-scored, overstuffed, rushed doom-and-gloom narrative with sour tone; a mixed event. 5/10

V For Vendetta (2006)
