2024 Halloween Spectacular (2024)

“It's not ghosts. It's not supernatural. It's... It's America. And it's everywhere.”

The Fog follows more of a 1950s creature feature plot than a late-70s slasher with three legendary scream queens.

The social issues The Half of it takes on are handled well, between the antagonization brought on to Ellie for her race and the conflict that arises from her being gay. Both aspects of her character are built up over the course of the film and don’t seem abrupt or rushed. The film shows racism towards Ellie and her and father in varying levels, from having her schoolmates specifically address her as "Chinese girl” to the fore mentioned way her Dad is treated due to language barriers. The same can be said about Ellie being a lesbian. While she never truly “comes out” in the narrative, that does not undermine her journey of self-discovery from being meaningful. These ideas aren’t thrust upon the viewer in a preachy manor, the scenarios that occur feel believable given the rural setting. The film presents watchers with problems whom those like Ellie may face, and leaves us to sit with them and reflect.

'The Worst Person In The World' follows a part of life I don't see often portrayed on-screen: extended adolescence.

Airplane! (1980) is a fun spoof comedy with lots of laughs, right? I watched this film for the first time the other night. I loved it. Then came the racist jokes.

Taylor Swift dazzles many fans with remixes of her country and pop singles in her Reputation Stadium concert tour, becoming a successful concert film.
