News Blast - 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever'
A Link To My Review Of The New MCU Film
With me deleting my twitter, I’ve been toggling with the idea of doing news blasts like this to share my work. If this works out, I’ll make this a recurring blast for reviews or interviews of major titles.
My latest review is Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. It’s a film that has a lot riding on it: The movie needs to honor Chadwick Boseman’s memory (the actor passed away in August of 2020), meet blockbuster expectations and fuel the next phase of a cinematic universe. No film should have that much pressure on it, but Wakanda Forever does. And you can feel the strain. You can find my review for the film at RogerEbert.com.
The post credit sequence also had me groaning in my seat. After everything that came before that felt so artificial.
Hi Robert, you recommend Film Blackness by Gillespie in your Twitter recently. Do you think you'd be able to recommend any books like that? Not necessarily books specific to race (though that would be most welcome) but just books on understanding film in general (through whatever lens). I'm trying to broaden my critical apparatus
