Not a whole lot went on this weekend … other than lots of movies (not all of which I am going to talk about)!<\/p>\n

\"Strike<\/a>
\nI finally got to see Strike a Pose<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, the 2016 “where-are-they-now” documentary about the backup dancers that were featured on Madonna<\/strong><\/a>‘s Blonde Ambition Tour<\/strong><\/em><\/a> (and documentary Truth or Dare<\/em><\/strong><\/a>). As a young, closeted gay man, Truth or Dare<\/em> (and the dancers) made a big impression on me. It was great (and sometimes heartbreaking) to see what where life has taken those dancers. I recommend this for fans of Madonna and Truth or Dare<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"Only<\/a>
\nI was expecting Only the Brave<\/strong><\/em><\/a> to sledgehammer you with sentimentality. But it didn’t. This movie tells a compelling and tragic story without getting overly manipulative. Yeah. I knew what was going to happen<\/strong><\/a> and I still cried at the end.<\/p>\n

\"Black<\/a>
\nI saw Black Panther<\/strong><\/em><\/a> yesterday. It’s a pretty good comic book movie. While not the best Marvel movie, it’s certainly near the top of the list. The best part, for me, were all the kick ass female characters. I could watch a whole movie of just Nakia, Okoye. and Shuri. They rocked!<\/p>\n

And, I got to spend $$ on a new power adapted for my Macbook Pro<\/strong><\/a>. Something tells me that I shouldn’t be using the old one. Yikes!
