Sinners

“Sinners” is a 2025 horror/thriller starring Michael B. Jordan (Just Mercy), Miles Caton, Jack O’Connell (Eden Lake), Delroy Lindo (Get Shorty), Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit), and Omar Benson Miller (8 Mile).

Two black gangsters (Michael B. Jordan) who work for Al Capone return to their home in Mississippi where racism is still thriving to open up their own Juke Joint. When a strange man shows up trying to get into their joint, it soon ends up being a fight for their lives against a supernatural entity that’s taking over their hometown.

When I first saw the preview to this, I knew I had to see it. Michael B. Jordan is one of the best actors today with an amazing reach, and this movie is no different. He plays both rolls of identical twins’ smoke and stack. It’s hard to tell exactly what this movie is about in the previews outside of it having something to do with vampires. It’s a slow burn to start with setting up the club etc., but once the vampires show up its nonstop till the end. It’s also heartfelt getting in your feels a couple of spots. It’s well done and will go down as a vampire classic. I give it 8/10.

Just Mercy

‘Just Mercy’ is a 2020 film following the true story of Bryan Stevenson (Michael B Jordan), a young black lawyer from Harvard who just passed the Bar. Stevenson moves to a small rural town to open up a practice to take on clients who haven’t had or can not afford legal representation. He takes on the case of Walter McMillian (Jamie Foxx) a black man who has been wrongfully convicted and condemned to death row. ‘Just Mercy’ features a great cast with Michael B Jordan, Jamie Foxx, Brie Larson, Tim Blake Nelson (‘O Brother, Where Art Thou?’ ‘The Ballad of Buster Scruggs.’) Rafe Spall (‘Life of Pi.’ ‘Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’), and O’Shea Jackson Jr. (‘Straight Outta Compton’).

There are only a handful of powerful movies each year, and even fewer ones remembered. ‘Just Mercy’ is one of these movies. ‘Just Mercy’ is not only the best movie of the year, but one of the best movies I’ve seen. It is gut wrenching for start to stop as Stevenson proves over and over without a fraction of a doubt McMillian is innocent, but it doesn’t matter. McMillian is a black man in a rural town and they’re convinced they have their killer, and are prepared to bury him over it. I could go into more detail , but I don’t want to spoil anything. I’m giving ‘Just Mercy’ my highest rating yet, as it is much deserved. A 10/10
