One Spoon of Chocolate

He has nowhere to go. They have nowhere to hide.

The RZA is back with a vengeance to bring us his latest action-thriller One Spoon of Chocolate, presented by Quentin Tarantino!

After serving his country in the Army, Unique is falsely accused of assault and sent to prison. Once released, Unique sets up shop in Ohio to restart his life, linking up with his only surviving relative, Ramsey. There’s something insidious happening in this town, though, as its racist sheriff and his crew of similarly bigoted acolytes all have a knack for violence and share a gruesome secret pertaining to a recent string of missing young Black men. When they set their sights on Unique and turn his life upside down, the former soldier has no choice but to bring the ruckus down on the sheriff and his goons.

Dark Passage

Bogie Fest is heating up as we slip into the shadows with one of his most intriguing noirs: Dark Passage!

Directed by Delmer Daves, this atmospheric thriller drops us into post-war San Francisco, where escaped convict Vincent Parry (Bogie) is determined to prove his innocence after being wrongly accused of murdering his wife. On the run and desperate, Parry finds an unlikely ally in Irene Jansen (Lauren Bacall), a mysterious woman who believes in his cause and helps him evade capture.

As the tension builds through foggy streets and dangerous encounters, Dark Passage leans into the paranoia that came to define classic film noir, while also showcasing the electric chemistry between Bogart and Bacall.
