When They See Us (2019)



Chronicles the true story of a notorious case of five black teenagers who were convicted of a rape they did not commit.

Intense, thorough, passionate and utterly heart-wrenching depcition of a gross injustice with an excellent script giving each episode a different stance and with an extraordinary great ensemble of actors; depressingly, it is obvious that the evenets are not simply historical, but can happen all over again today.

The Caveman's Valentine (2001)



A cave-dwelling man sets out to track down the killer of a homeless boy, and bring him to justice.

Somewhat off-kilter crime drama never really takes off, and Jackson's performance is quite over-the-top.

Maltin*1/2: "Strange, unappealing film has almost nothing to recommend it."

The Resident (2011)

 
 
When a young doctor suspects she may not be alone in her new Brooklyn loft, she learns that her landlord has formed a frightening obsession with her.
 
Mediocre stalker thriller which manages to accumulate all the cliches you'd expect from the often-told plot.
 
Maltin BOMB: "Appallingly derivative stinker, barely released, goes through the usual litany of psychotic moves before screech-halt at a dime. It's incredible that any double Oscar winner would ever wind up headlining a movie like this."
