Jun 11, 2020

Da 5 Bloods is one of Lee’s best films to date and one I’m sure that will be studied in intro to film/cinema classes at colleges all across the country.

May 12, 2020

What makes Matt Wolf’s documentary so interesting is the background and the origin stories of the group that he uses to lay the foundation leading up to the Biosphere 2 experiment.
