Weapons Shows Intriguing Human Relationships in Mundane American Town Life
For those tranquil houses with white fences, what is happening behind every closed door?

BOUT 1: BUDDY JUSTICE VS. BUCK GIBSON: Two out of three falls. Even though Justice is giving away some 30 lbs as well as taking on a very rough wrestler, BG knows that Gibson will be leaving the ring at the end of this bout with his share of marks as well. BOUT 2: RAW DEAL VS. RICK VILLANOVA: One fall to the finish! If you like burly, hairy guys who really look like wrestlers, Rick Villanova is your cup of tea. But he’s up against Raw Deal. BOUT 3: KID LEOPARD VS. SEAN CANNON: Two out of three falls if you can believe it. The moment he saw blond, blue-eyed Sean Cannon, the Kid, visiting Los Angeles with his brother Raw Deal from BG East, got a monster hard-on, which is quite evident when he enters the ring. BOUT 4: BRIAN BAXTER VS. TROY ANDREWS: Two out of three falls. Brian’s sense of humor is working overtime. It’s designed to get the goat of his opponent by insulting and belittling him in a funny way. BOUT 5: COREY SIMPSON AND JASON WARD

Carolina Caroline follows Caroline (Samara Weaving), a bored young woman dreaming of escaping a small Texas town where nothing ever happens. When she meets Oliver (Kyle Gallner) at her workplace while he is conning the owner, she sees her perfect opportunity to get out. Their whirlwind romance strongly echoes Bonnie and Clyde, as the two quickly embark on a bank-robbing spree.
Hulu continues its Summer releases with The Princess. This film follows the princess (yes, she is unnamed) as she attempts to escape her tower, refusing to be wed to a cruel man vying for the throne. Action-packed and snarky, this is a decently fun film if you need a fighting fix.
When diverse representation is featured on-screen, it oftentimes comes with strings attached that undermine the message they were trying to send. This can be attributed to the fact that behind-the-screen, the industry primarily does not reflect the breadth of diverse difference that is present in daily life. That’s why when something as powerful and authentic as Minari comes along, it is both incredibly wonderful and needs a large audience to witness it.
With The Father, writer-director Florian Zeller- who wrote and developed the play upon which the film is based- pulls no punches as he confidently makes every effort to put the audience in the mind of someone whose grip on reality has all but vanished. It’s a dazzling testament to Zeller’s abilities as a director as he makes his first transition from stage to film appear as if he’s been working behind a camera his entire career. The dialogue he fashions with co-writer Christopher Hampton, along with the work of production designers Peter Francis and Cathy Featherstone, collectively makes the downward spiral of dementia startlingly tangible, doing so in a way that can be comprehended by everyone except the person it directly affects.
Pressure is an unambiguously great movie, lead by convincing performances, a well-crafted script, good direction, and at least some social awareness.
