    I watched a Canadian movie about hunter gatherers domesticating the first wild dogs or wolves during the age of the Wooly Mammoth...it was breathtaking cinematography and done in some ancient native language. the movie is called Alpha.. the dog/wolf should have won an academy award!
    It's on Netflix

    Went to Sinners over the weekend and even with the movie being hyped up coming out of the first week of release, I was pleasantly surprised with how much I liked the movie. I say that because the pairing of Ryan Coogler and MBJ automatically raises my expectations from the start after movies like Fruitvale Station and Creed, but then to add in the hype after the first weekend, add in what little I knew about the movie was that it dealt with the delta blues music and vampires, two totally different subjects and I had suspicions that it wasn't going to work but he blends them in well. I do think it's Michael B. Jordan's best work and that's saying something after The Wire, Friday Night Lights, Creed and all the other stuff he's been in but can see him really becoming a movie star and someone that can carry a film and make people want to see it because he's in it. That's something that is becoming increasingly rare these days.
