We can criticize depictions from old media, but they weren’t simply “good for their time”. They were fighting and struggling in a world we can’t imagine.

After a pretty bad spill on his bike, Trevor Laster is in some serious need of downtime. Luckily for him, buddy Carter Woods is here to help. After Carter loosens up Trevor's upper body, he focuses on what Trevor has downstairs...Having met online and only talked on the phone a little, Ty Derrick doesn't really know what to expect when Marcus Tresor knocks on his door for the first time, but he's pleasantly surprised to see the hottie at his door. New acquaintances Dante Colle and Ryan Jordan have stolen away to a secret spot to engage in a little private time while the rest of the pool party carries on without them.

The sun is out and the coffee is hot, but Quin Quire is craving some of Anthony Moore's special sausage before either one of them has breakfast.

Netflix’s new rom-com, Voicemails for Isabelle (dir. Leah McKendrick), isn’t just heartwarming, funny, and an achievement in female directing - it’s also an instant classic. Following 20-something aspiring baker Jill (Zoey Deutch), Voicemails for Isabelle tells a story of grief, self-discovery, and fateful connections. Ever since her beloved sister Izzy’s (Ciara Bravo) death, Jill has been leaving her hilarious, extremely TMI voicemails about her chaotic love life and miserable day job as a prep cook. Little does she know that a handsome and unsatisfied real estate agent in her hometown has inherited the number and practically fallen in love with her by listening to her stories.
Overall, “Dark Fate” is a run-of-the-mill flick. Together, Reyes and Davis have excellent chemistry, but their characters’ story is nothing new, lacking surprise and deep emotion. During the middle points, the film drags considerably, and when the action hits, it feels consistently tight, eliminating the rhythm and fluidity of conflicts.
