    Sinners is a 2025 genre-blending vampire horror musical, written and directed by Ryan Coogler (known for Black Panther and Creed). The film stars Michael B. Jordan in a dual role and centers on twin brothers Smoke and Stack Moore who return to their 1930s Mississippi hometown to open a juke joint—only to awaken supernatural, vampiric forces.

    The film seamlessly weaves together the stories of Black veterans, Chinese railroad workers, Native spiritualists, and poor white Southerners, creating a rich tapestry of American identity rooted in shared struggle and survival. Anchored by powerful live-recorded blues performances and filmed in breathtaking 65mm IMAX, Sinners blends folklore, horror, and history into something wholly new.

  • 70: Valkyrie (2008)
    Jun 16 2025

    "Valkyrie" is a 2008 historical thriller directed by Bryan Singer and starring Tom Cruise as Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, a real-life German army officer who led a bold plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler and overthrow the Nazi regime during World War II.

    The film dramatizes the events of July 20, 1944, when a group of high-ranking German officers and civilians launched Operation Valkyrie—originally a contingency plan to preserve government continuity in case of internal unrest—and repurposed it as a mechanism for a military coup. Stauffenberg, severely wounded earlier in the war (having lost an eye, a hand, and two fingers), emerges as the moral and strategic center of the plot, placing a bomb in Hitler's briefing room in an effort to decapitate the Nazi leadership.

    The film received mixed to positive reviews. Critics praised its historical accuracy, production design, and Cruise’s performance, though some felt the tone was overly restrained or that Cruise’s star presence distracted from the authenticity. Nevertheless, "Valkyrie" stands as a sobering, well-crafted portrayal of a pivotal but often under-told story of bravery and defiance within Nazi Germany.

    So strap yourself in, because today we're deep diving into this 2008 classic!
