For years and across cultures, the art form of female impersonation has been performed publicly, dating back to the 19th century. In the early 1900s, men used to role play as women during opera, putting on wigs and dresses to evoke the illusion of a biological woman, because women, at the time, were not allowed to perform on stage. These acts of historic female caricatures have carried into modern times, unfolding into a full-on entertainment business.
On February 11, Netflix released a four-episode documentary about the mystery case of Elisa Lam. In early 2013, Lam was reported missing after staying at the infamous Cecil Hotel located in Los Angeles. The documentary follows this crime through the perspectives of the hotel manager at the time, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), hotel guests and the “internet sleuths". Through multiple views, viewers are walked through one of the most bewildering and puzzling crime scenes of the decade.
Rarely does a film get released at a time that perfectly captures the current mood and struggles that so many people are experiencing. When a movie can reflect such universal experiences and remain grounded in an authentic, surreal cinematic style, you can’t help but be moved.

Late last year, I wrote about how Netflix’s “Trial of the Chicago Seven” was poised for this moment — a testament to standing up for your rights as an American citizen and bringing viewers back to a period that echoed many of the demands for civil rights we still seek today.

Finally! After two decades in filmmaking and the digital outbreak of the Black Lives Matter movement, it seems as though Pixar has finally responded to the cries and voices of those who have been silenced for years.
What genre comes to your mind when asked to think of love songs? Maybe radio pop, with an earworm for a hook and catchy production. Or maybe something more singer-songwriter, an instrumentally sparse ballad that dramatically lays out a tragic story. You could’ve even thought outside the box and went with emo rock, which often has a focus on a depressingly hopeless sound conveyed through whiny vocals. But even further outside the box, hiding in plain sight, is the hip-hop love song. Often overlooked and criminally underrated, the best hip-hop love songs demonstrate both musical and lyrical mastery, but with a more laid back style. They provide a unique lens on the topic of love and the emotions and situations that come with it, incorporating humorous undertones and witty lines.
We’ve seen black-and-white features make a comeback over the past few years as directors strive to make their films seem more artistic and visionary. While there’s no denying that Sam Levinson’s “Malcolm & Marie” looks good on screen, the director seems to think that the eye-catching imagery and his actors’ performances are enough to sway us.
Picture this. It’s 1993, and you’re sitting down in the theatre to watch Denzel — the guy who just played (and got snubbed) for the Oscar as Malcom X — and Morgan Freeman hunt down a serial killer somewhere among the crime-ridden streets. The guy who made “Jaws” and “ET” is directing, and as opening credits roll — you firmly believe this will be the best movie of the year.

As we start the year off quarantining inside, there is much to look forward to in the new year such as the books set to be released in 2021. Many authors used social distancing in 2020 to their advantage to work on their upcoming novels. The year of 2021 is the year of magnificent books being published to read. While these six novels have not been released yet, there has been a lot of commotion and gossip about them.
Sports in America come in various forms, with basketball, association football — or as North Americans would call it, soccer — football, baseball and ice hockey probably the most popular sports, in no particular order. Something that has often caught my attention is how American sports are organized. In fact, it somewhat inspired me to write this piece.
The novel ‘Firefly Lane’ was published in 2013 by New York Times bestselling author Kristin Hannah.

Fresh off the success of ESPN’s 10-episode Michael Jordan documentary “The Last Dance” this past spring, I was pumped when I heard that HBO would be releasing a similar in-depth look at another of sports’ most fascinating figures in 2021 — a once young phenom named Eldrick “Tiger” Woods who revolutionized golf and changed the way we viewed celebrity athletes through his meteoric rise and ultimately disappointing fall. There may not have been any involvement on his part unlike Jordan with “Dance”, but a sizzling trailer still had me hooked.
Ariana Grande and her music never oversell.
