Shaft(2019)

6.5/10

S-Tier

Criterion's push into Black cinema alongside Menace II Society and Do the Right Thing. Gordon Parks' 1971 original, not the 2019 sequel. The packaging came as a standard case rather than the expected digipak, which was a welcome surprise for shelf uniformity. Collectors noted the Criterion approach to Blaxploitation catalog titles is filling a real gap.

The X-Men face their most formidable and powerful foe when one of their own, Jean Grey, starts to spiral out of control. During a rescue mission in outer space, Jean is nearly killed when she's hit by a mysterious cosmic force. Once she returns home, this force not only makes her infinitely more powerful, but far more unstable. The X-Men must now band together to save her soul and battle aliens that want to use Grey's new abilities to rule the galaxy.
