The core theme of Love Me destined it to be labeled a pandemic-era movie. While Americans had already been experiencing epidemic levels of loneliness in the late 2010s, the outbreak of COVID-19 and subsequent lockdowns highlighted what was already there while deepening that isolation. We were drowning in a preponderance of think pieces and studies […]
Like most Americans, I read “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” in high school (sophomore year, in Honors American Literature, to be precise). And I distinctly recall not really liking the book. I’m not sure if it was a case of not caring all that much about a story about a young boy coming of age […]
From the team that brought audiences the horror hit Barbarian and the studio of The Notebook is a darkly funny film about a toxic relationship. Iris (Sophie Thatcher) and Josh (Jack Quaid) are a couple in love and plan to spend the weekend at a Russian oligarch’s lake house. Iris is given a chance to […]
I’ll admit that this episode of Severance threw me for a loop in a number of ways and left me with more questions than answers – particularly when it comes to the Cobel arc for this season. In fact, I’ve watched it four times thus far, trying to understand just what is going on with […]
Flight Risk is Mel Gibson’s sixth film as director and his first contemporary set film with this airborne thriller. Madolyn Harris (Michelle Dockery) is a U.S. Marshal who arrests Winston (Topher Grace), an accountant for the mob. Winston agrees to testify against a notorious mob boss in exchange for immunity. The pair must travel from […]
Presence is the latest film released by prestige distributor Neon, which acquired the rights after its premiere at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival. The Paynes move into a new house after a tragedy. Chloe’s (Callina Liang) best friend died from an overdose and she is still grieving. Chloe’s troubles affect the rest of her family. In […]
The brilliance of Mythic Quest’s fourth season is that it knows precisely what it needs to be and does exactly that. It doesn’t try to get too fancy or splashy. Nope. It takes the characters we know and love, the various relationships on the series – romantic, platonic, professional, and other – and uses them […]
There’s something quaint about trying to produce a play within a game designed to encourage depravity. The world of Grand Theft Auto Online is meant to be experienced surrounded by a persistent hail of gunfire, as you carry out heists with associates you’ll inevitably stab in the back before setting out on your own to […]
My one major takeaway upon finishing my screeners for Paradise was “Boy is Sterling K. Brown sensational at what he does.” And Brown is asked to do an awful lot in the series, leading a cast of heavy hitters through a thriller that is often uneven from a writing perspective and where we’re doled out […]
Well, this week we got to see just what our main four’s Outies were up to in the time between their Innies’ jail breaks until they reunited back on the Severed Floor at Lumon. Or, rather, we got to see a lot of what Mark and Helena were up to, more of Dylan’s Outie’s life […]
