Wild Style (1982) - South Bronx graffiti artist Zoro is commissioned to paint a backdrop for a hip-hop concert. 8/10

Style Wars (1983) - A documentary that exposes the rich growing subculture of hip-hop that was developing in New York City in the late '70s and early '80s, specifically focusing on graffiti art and breakdancing. 8.5/10

Beat Street (1984) - An aspiring DJ from the South Bronx and his best friend, a promoter, try to get into show business by exposing people to hip-hop music and the local culture. 7/10


Watching these movies took me back to growing up in New York in the early 80s. Style Wars is the best of the three being a straight documentary. Wild Style is almost as good with a threadbare plot that allows the scene to still shine. Beat Street's story is clunky, but the dancing is spectacular and the real reason to watch.

The Devil and Daniel Johnston (2005)
9/10

The rating is based on the fact it does what it does very well, as a documentary that is.

The Zone of Interest (2023) - Auschwitz commandant Rudolf H?ss and his wife Hedwig strive to build a dream life for their family in a house and garden beside the camp.

It's amazing how disturbing this movie was without showing anything even remotely graphic. It was all about what you knew--and more importantly, heard--what was happening in the background while this family went about their daily lives. 9/10

The Marvels 2/10

I would have given this film more points if it had never been made

Ouch!
Is it really THAT bad?

I'll probably still pick up the Blu-ray at some point.

I have made it a point to always buy the MCU movies in Blu-ray Steelbook form. That streak has ended.

This is the first one that did not get that treatment. I am still on the fence about even buying it as just a plain Blu-ray box.

The completest in me says get it but the movie fan in me says NOPE!
