زين البحار (2014)

Gretel & Hansel falters due to its razor thin story and lack of characterization. It loses sight of horror’s key rule: In order to create an effective tale, characters and emotions must be emphasized.

Based on a true story, when his beloved dog goes missing, the owner embarks on an incredible search with his parents to find him.

This side-splitting workplace comedy features a diverse cast and tackles challenging social issues. Other sitcoms should take note.

Rather than focusing on the bleak, cynical aspects of life post-pandemic, the focus is optimistic and hopeful.

I write for a diversity-focused film review blog, so I’ll be honest: I really wanted to like Pretty Lethal. Starring Maddie Ziegler, Lana Condor, Iris Apatow, Avantika, and Millicent Simmonds, Amazon Prime’s new thriller seemed like it would be a girl power movie about dancers with a horror action twist. Sort of a Suspiria for teens. But with shallow and unlikeable characters, a confusing plot, an overreliance on violence, and cringey dialogue, any fun the movie started out with was quickly lost. What was left was a faint echo of greater horror movies about dancers made before. 

Bollywood's thrilling fusion of what the blind man saw and the boy who cried wolf.
