During the Civil War, the young Uzbek playwright Muzaffar and the Russian girl Natasha, who became one of the first actresses in the Uzbek theater, unite their like-minded people to create a national theater. Amid rehearsals, performances, and the struggle for a new art, love blossoms between them. However, fanaticism, prejudice, and the harsh trials of the era stand in the way of their dream. The story of the first Uzbek theater's development becomes a story of great love, courage, and self-sacrifice.
Honey Don't! is a chaotic queer noir that's part detective story, part midnight movie madness. Margaret Qualley is fantastic as the wise-cracking private eye Honey, with Aubrey Plaza and Chris Evans adding their own dry humor to the mix. The mystery itself is pretty loose, but the film makes up for it with crackling sexual tension, weird side characters, and razor-sharp dialogue. It's messy and uneven, but in the best possible way.
Remember when there was this amazing comedy titled "National Lampoon's Vacation"? To this day, it is a true classic of the genre and certainly put a new spin on precisely what KINDS of insanity could occur when taking the fam on the road. Then, like with so many successful films, there was the sequel (which for me was even MORE of a classic than the original!). However, the third film emerged....and then a fourth. Suddenly, the luster was gone and disappointment set in.
Inspiring and diverse animated series for the whole family.
American Fiction is a genuinely entertaining film with a few lessons.
Being made after the death of Chadwick Boseman will be a hard but exciting ride for this Marvel entry.
Netflix's Afterlife of the Party might fall into the rom-com genre, but it's much more about grief, strong female friendships, and platonic love than it is about romance.
