ONE NIGHT IN MIAMI One Night In Miami is one of this year’s best movies. Regina King’s directorial debut brings incredible performances from its four main actors. The story is based on a stage play of the same name, so the movie is almost entirely dialogue. But, it’s written in a way that’s thought provoking yet keeps you entertained. This is a must see. Rating: 9/10

Watch on Amazon Prime

SOUL Soul markets itself as a kids movie, but is the farthest thing from it. Though the animation in this movie is breathtaking, the heart is what stands out to me. It attempts to answer the hardest question in the book: what is the meaning of life? It succeeds. Rating: 8.5/10 Watch on Disney + JUDAS AND THE BLACK MESSIAH Expertly directed by Shaka King, you’re guaranteed to leave this movie frustrated. Not at the movie itself, but at the story it tells. It shows the corruption and deceit that a government can sow against its own people. With expert performances from Daniel Kaluuya and LaKeith Stanfield, this is one of the most important films of the year. Rating: 8/10

Watch on HBO Max or in theatres

THE SOUND OF METAL A heartbreaking look into the life of someone who has suddenly lost all hearing, The Sound of Metal is sure to open your eyes to a new perspective. Though the pace slows towards the middle, the movie never loses its emotional heart. It also provides an incredible lead performance from Riz Ahmed. Rating: 7.5/10

Watch on Amazon Prime

WE CAN BE HEROES Do you miss SharkBoy and Lava Girl, or Spy Kids? Well you’re in luck, because Robert Rodriguez returns with a new movie aimed at entertaining children. Though made for kids, this movie made me nostalgic for Rodriguez’s signature style. It’s definitely an enjoyable lighthearted watch to brighten your day. Rating: 8.5/10
