BlacKkKlansman
Colorado Springs, late 1970s. Ron Stallworth, an African American police officer, and Flip Zimmerman, his Jewish colleague, run an undercover operation to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan.
With a Tomatometer Score of 96 percent and an Audience Score of 81 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, "'BlacKkKlansman' has been a must-watch since its release in August of 2018. Slate's Lawrence Ware said, "The filmmaker rips from the headlines, but the struggles remain the same," while Oliver Jones of "The Observer" noted, "A kitchen sink and kaleidoscopic study of cultural and institutional racism in America."
Based on the book by Stallworth, this film earned six Oscar nominations and won for best screenplay.
It's playing at Silverspot Cinema Metsquare (300 S.E. Third Ave.) starts Friday, March and runs through Wednesday, March 13. Click here for showtimes and tickets.
Green Book
Tony Lip, a bouncer in 1962, is hired to drive pianist Don Shirley on a tour through the Deep South in the days when African Americans, forced to find alternate accommodations and services due to segregation laws below the Mason-Dixon Line, relied on a guide called The Negro Motorist Green Book.
With a Tomatometer Score of 79 percent and an Audience Score of 81 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, "Green Book" is well worth a watch. "First-rate execution can't solve all of a film's problems, but Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala Ali offer a reminder that it can solve an awful lot of them," according to Christopher Orr of "The Atlantic," while "Time Out"'s Joshua Rothkopf said, "Call this actors' duet sentimental and simplistic at your own peril. 'Green Book' may well move you, possibly to tears, at the thought of real social change and kindness (at a time when we need it badly)."
A big hit with audiences, this film also won big at the Academy Awards, earning three Oscars, including best picture and best supporting actor.
It's playing at Silverspot Cinema Metsquare (300 S.E. Third Ave.) and Cinépolis Coconut Grove (3015 Grand Ave.) through Wednesday, March 13. Click here for showtimes and tickets.
Cold Pursuit
Nels Coxman's quiet life comes crashing down when his beloved son dies under mysterious circumstances. His search for the truth soon becomes a quest for revenge as he seeks coldblooded justice against a drug lord and his inner circle.
With a Tomatometer Score of 70 percent and an Audience Score of 59 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, "Cold Pursuit" is well worth a watch. "The New York Post"'s Johnny Oleksinski said, "'Cold Pursuit' is an excellent film," and ReelViews's James Berardinelli said, "'Cold Pursuit' works as intended."
