'Overcast' - MiamisFF Review
The makings of a great midseason filler episode that would connect in many different directions. This is a police drama filler with a guest director.

The restless great-granddaughter of Santa Claus Snezhin is not at all like her mother Snegurochka. She is mischievous, impatient, very curious and considers her family's business in the Internet age outdated. Out of curiosity, having violated the rules of the frosty tower, she accidentally breaks the mechanism of the magic book of the Chronicles of Santa Claus. Everyone who receives gifts that endows their owner with special qualities is entered into the book. Now their future is at stake. Snezhina will have to discover the secret of her great-grandfather's gifts, find her destiny and correct what happened. And the young Mechanic and the keepers of the secrets of gifts will help her in this.

One of THE most frustrating trends in the mainstream film industry over the last several decades has been the onset of comedy efforts that seem SO focused on being crude and/or gross-out in all ways possible. That, at least for me, makes them no longer funny.
Disney has hopefully learned some lessons since 1994. Are those lessons reflected in the 2019 remake of "The Lion King?"
Throughout Brendan Fraser’s career, he has played a plethora of unique, layered characters who explore the importance of not being afraid to display your emotions, something that is often seen to not be a masculine trait. This idea of regulating emotion and what traits men are able to possess creates a toxic atmosphere for men who are often told they should not cry or represent their emotions in any physical way. These characters represent that men can be joyful, emotionally conscious, and sensitive, while also representing their masculine identity instead of painting those qualities as fighting against their masculinity.
Juno is extremely funny, very well-written, and contains great performances. The film is also about a very important topic, one that is extremely relevant now: women’s reproductive rights. Is this Oscar-winning film spreading a pro-life or pro-choice message to its audience?
