I Have a Love-Hate Relationship With 'Love Hard'
Love Hard is a Christmas romcom about two people who fall in love while pretending to date. It’s a romantic and fun watch. If you can forget the catfishing.

A documentary focusing on the importance and influence of imaginative realism throughout history from its origins, from the likes of Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Caravaggio, Bouguereau, Waterhouse, Howard Pyle, and Norman Rockwell to contemporary artists as told by some of the biggest names in the business today to include Boris Vallejo, Julie Bell, Greg Hildebrandt, Bob Eggleton, Donato Giancola, Michael Whelan and many others. The film focuses on the history, contemporary importance on pop culture, and influence on film as well as the creative process.

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.
How powerful can a story be when it is stripped to the bare essentials of just a room, a handful of people and raw human voice?
Dora is the superhero we didn't know we needed.
