Escape from Velocity (2023)
Culture Meets Space
"Escape from Velocity" is an intriguing film that has unique characters, amazing effects, and a story that implemented black culture to something out of this world. Captain Khesed's reasoning for completing his mission went beyond a tangible reward. His morals and wit alone were more than enough ways to root for him. I was taken away from the costume design as well, the accessories were dynamic! The implementation of HipHop/Rap music from black culture in America was an entertaining but useful tool that helped keep the story alive. I would recommend watching this film to be inspired, get a good laugh, and to be in awe of the unique world created by Kevin Parkinson.
Valley of the Queens: Planned Obsolescence (2022)
Laughing and Learning!
Valley of the Queens was a unique and enjoyable movie that hit on some strong intercultural concepts! Though I was laughing while watching this entertaining movie, I learned about how people of different cultures, holding different business and ethical values, interact with each other in contrasting ways. I loved the weaving of integrity what was throughout the movie. The characters were themselves dynamic with many layers that continued to unfold during the movie. As an African-American, it was pleasing to see these issues addressed in film for many others to see, learn, and enjoy watching!!!
