The Other Black Girl (2023)
Someone was confused
Why does a Black woman have to be in a cult and under the control of magic in order to be successful and beautiful? How is it that a Black woman that is articulate and well dressed is betraying her ethnicity? The message that was intended would have been worth watching but the message that was shown was a confused version of the idea and disappointing on numerous levels. I truly hope the book was better and achieved the goal attempted by the series. Even the book in the show portrayed Black people as violent and unloving according to the disclosed original ending. The topper for me was how all of this was supposed to be okay because it was at the behest of a Black woman. Hollywood can do better and this is just one more example of a miss.
The Devil Conspiracy (2022)
Don't waste your time
The concept was poorly developed and it had so many ridiculous moments that it left me feeling irritated. I love horror movies and give room for the inevitable inadequacies of many but that is to be expected in the genre...but this could not have been thought through by anyone with the intent to make a good movie. There were 2 actors that did a good job, the main bad woman and Michael in his angel form. There were predictable moments and others that left you speechless not because they were good but because it was hard to believe the movie received enough funding to be completed. If you feel you must watch it do so when you are too tired to pay attention or while working on something that keeps your attention away from the screen.
