Fighting a summer cold last weekend was definitely the pits, but I managed to brave through my dry cough and runny nose to see the movie “Detroit.”
Although “Detroit” received unfavorable ratings at the box office (I was one of eleven people in the theater), I was still intrigued with the film, which has been called one of the most dangerous films of the year. I still encourage you to see the film based on gut-wrenching true events during 1967 in Detroit.
Check out my weekend picks.
