Director Rebecca Hall discusses filming in black and white
Part of the concept of this film was to turn it into the great, female-driven 1930’s noir it should have been if Hollywood studios had made noirs with Black female leads in the ’30s. That was the genesis. The fantasy of discovering this lost film that might have existed in a better world. It also takes color out of the realm of the real and renders it abstract, conceptual. The world isn’t black and white as our eye perceives it, and so we know when we watch a black and white film that we’re engaged in a process of translation. This is true of how we perceive race, as well. No one is literally black or white, obviously, and yet these categories are so important that we automatically translate what our eye actually perceives into something conceptual. It’s a similar process, which this film tries to call attention to, and hopefully complicate. I also always instinctively thought that the best way to make a movie about colorism was to take all the color out of it.
Chloe (2022) Mam Tor Productions, Amazon Studios BBC One, Prime Video Social Media #Chloe #PrimeVideo Release date Friday, June 24, on Amazon Prime Video #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) Chloe is an interesting drama. I wasn't blown away when I was watching it ... but it was fascinating. Becky (Erin Doherty) has a stressful life. She is struggling with getting work, is low on funds, and dealing with a mother with dementia. In her spare time, she goes on her phone to keep an eye on social media. She visits Instagram to essentially compare herself to others. One of her favourites on Instagram is Chloe. One day, Becky (who likes to visit Chloe's Instagram account and is her most dedicated social media follower) finds out that Chloe dies. Apparently, she committed suicide and Becky wants to know why ... She decides to create a fake identity and work with Chloe’s friends (who she never met) to find out what happened.

This biographical crime drama series 'Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story' shows you how it all happened.

Could law enforcement have prevented these killings? Should they have acted sooner rather than later? Eventually, Dahmer gets caught and the police finally searched his ...

Deadloch Amazon Studios, OK Great Productions, Guesswork Television Amazon Prime Video #whatonwhatsgood Express Review Deadloch is an Australian comedy/crime show. It is set in a town called Deadloch, Tasmania. In the first episode, Trent Latham (Barry Wheeler) is found naked and dead on a beach. The question is can Sergeant Dulcie Collins (Kate Box) and Det. Eddie Redcliffe (Madeleine Sami) work together to solve the mystery? It's a whodunnit. Enjoy! Description Deadloch is an eight-part crime comedy.

Babylon Marc Platt Productions, Material Pictures Paramount Pictures My Rating 7/10 #whatonwhatsgood Rating 74% #whatonwhatsgood Express Review Babylon is set during the final years of the silent era of Hollywood. The movie begins with a party and you slowly are introduced to Manuel Torres (Diego Calva), Nellie LaRoy (Margot Robbie), Jack Conrad (Brad Pitt), and Sidney (Jovan Adepo). Throughout the film, you learn how these group of characters navigate their way through the changing world of cinema. Overall, not a bad film. I think my favourite character is Manuel Torres (Diego Calva). I particularly enjoyed watching him go from a nobody to a Hollywood studio executive.

A League of Their Own Amazon Studios, Sony Pictures Television Release date: August 12, 2022 #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif | What On What's Good) I'm just going to say right off the bat that I'm a huge fan of the 1992 classic A League of Their Own starring Geena Davis and Tom Hanks. I hope this doesn't affect my opinion of the series. In the series, Carson (Abbi Jacobson) leaves her husband to join the All American Girls Baseball League (AAGBL) the Rockford Peaches. She's a relatively shy individual. Her character grows quite a lot during the show. I think you will definitely like the character development. She meets Greta (D’Arcy Carden) and Jo (Melanie Field) in Chicago. Some of their characteristics are quite similar to Mae and Doris in the film. I particularly liked Max Chapman (Chante Adams) and Clance Morgan (Gbemisola Ikumelo) who are best friends on the show. Max wants to be a pitcher and Clance loves to create her own comic books. The...
