Back to the Future III
The trilogy began with Marty saving Doc from a bullet & poetically ends with the same mission. This time in 1885. Outlaws and cowboy hats adorn the screen as our hero’s work out how to return to the future alive. This time Doc finds love.

An adventurous journey into the future to better understand our past. It is a story of the forces of man's unbridled greed against the unquenchable power of true love. In a dramatically fought, intergalactic battle for survival, there can only be one victor, one survivor, one solution to save us.

Feedback Request - first draft
If everything happens for a reason, then what the hell could be the reason for this? I ask myself staring back at eight fully armed cops decked out in full tactical gear as they yelled at me, guns drawn, to both not move and raise my hands to the air.

Jaws
Who knows what lurks just below the surface of the water, eagerly waiting to eat you? The tension arising from the suspense is as tangible as the flimsy bathing costume that barely clings to your skin. Will it ever again be safe to go into the water for a swim?

Amos 'n' Andy 'n' Us 'n' Them
This TV adaptation ran from 1951 to 1953 with African-American actors. It was taken off the air, genius comedy and talent notwithstanding, because it inappropriately presented black "folks'" shenanigans as white entertainment. Brilliant, yes, but it was that perpetuation of the us-and-them motif in media that inclusion needed to end.

The Wrestler
The Wrestler is a heartbreaking story about a man sacrificing every ounce of himself to a truly unforgiving world. This is a wonderful, relatable story of chasing your love despite all the pain and heartache. But it also has a great message to always live life on your terms, period.

Uncut Gems
My goodness this film is truly something else. From start to finish this film is an emotional rollercoaster, with an extremely underrate performance by Adam Sandler. This film had me glued to the screen from start to finish. For all Adam Sandler fans, this has to be his pinnacle performance.
