Flix For Friday #15 (The Space Between Us, Rings, I Am Not Your Negro)

The Space Between Us - The last great performance I saw from Asa Butterfield was in A Brilliant Young Mind.  From the early trailers for this film, I was hoping for a similar performance.  Yet, early buzz makes it sound a bit too cheesy for my taste.  I am intrigued by what I am hearing about the soundtrack, so I might still have to check it out.

Rings - This is one of those horror franchises that will probably never die.  In other news this week, Robert Englund has announced that he will return as Freddy Krueger for a documentary about makeup.  Considering I have not seen any of the films in the Ring franchise, I am more excited for the documentary at this point than I am for Rings.

I Am Not Your Negro - I have a feeling that this film will give me a new perspective on race relations.  We need more films like this one.  Films that are relevant to modern times and modern issues.  As much as I love to watch fictional blockbusters, it's nice to have writers who are bringing important topics to the big screen.
