With the sprawling three-hour epic Malcolm X turning 30 this year, it's time for cinephiles to look back on the work of one of America's boldest directors: Spike Lee.

The crime genre has been a staple of the movie industry ever since its inception. With movies like Ambulance, Death on the Nile, and even The Batman finding great success in theaters and streaming, the crime genre continues to pump out engaging stories and characters.

Focus Features unveiled a special 20th anniversary logo and reel looking back on their acclaimed films today, alongside the announcement of a special theatrical re-release for several of their iconic features. Founded by David Linde and James Schamus, the film studio previously existed as USA Films, Universal Focus and Good Machine before becoming Focus Features in 2002 after a divisional merger. Owned by NBC Universal, Focus Features has helped distribute a number of acclaimed indie and international films around the world, including multiple Oscar nominees and winners, some of which include Lost in Translation, The Pianist, Brokeback Mountain, Milk and BlacKkKlansman.

As one of the most influential black directors working right now, no one has explored black culture and community in the way Spike Lee has through his films - or as he likes to call them, "ts". His 2018 film BlacKkKlansman told the "crazy, outrageous, incredible true story" (as the tagline says) of how the first African-American detective of the Colorado Springs Police Department infiltrated the ranks of the local Ku Klux Klan. It truly as crazy as real-life stories can get, and the film earned Spike Lee the first Oscar win of his career (in the Best Adapted Screenplay category).

Marvel Studios President, Kevin Feige, has revealed the source of inspiration behind WandaVision's title as that of Spike Lee's BlacKkKlansman. Based on Ron Stallworth's similarly-titled memoir of the same name, the biographical black comedy crime pic centers on Colorado Springs' first Black detective as he works to infiltrate the local chapter of the Ku Klux Klan. The ensemble cast for the film includes John David Washington in his breakout role, Adam Driver, Laura Harrier, Ryan Eggold, Paul Walter Ha and Topher Grace.

Kathryn Bigelow's period crime drama, Detroit, is definitely one of her best works to date, featuring some of her best direction. Indeed, despite being a box office disappointment, the movie was very successful with critics and was particularly praised for its screenplay and ensemble cast. Moreover, the movie is fairly historically accurate, which isn't always the case with films of its kind.

The Netflix movie Malcolm & Marie is getting a lot of attention from fans and critics. The black-and-white drama follows a couple, a male filmmaker and his actor girlfriend on the eve of the premiere of his latest movie. As the two await the reviews to roll in, old wounds and new grievances bubble to the surface. Zendaya is getting a lot of praise for her performance, but John David Washington deserves recognition as well for the male half of this movie.

Every February, multiple countries around the world celebrate Black voices and experiences by observing Black History Month. Designed to highlight important people, events, and milestones related to the African diaspora, Black History Month is a longstanding commemoration.

He was the star of one of Fox’s biggest sitcoms, but what is Topher Grace’s net worth? Topher Grace rose to fame in the late 1990s when he nabbed a starring role as Wisconsin teenager Eric Forman on Fox’s period sitcom That ‘70s Show alongside fellow up-and-coming actors Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher. The sitcom ran for eight seasons between 1998 and 2006, although Grace left the That ‘70s Show cast during its seventh and penultimate season, briefly returning in its series finale.
