At a quiet high school, Chester is the janitor that everyone trusts and is always watching out, always there when no one else is. But, a single humiliating secret caught on camera at a birthday party, turns him into a joke overnight. As whispers turn cruel and laughter turns violent, an accident silences Chester for good. Or so it seems. Because something wearing a familiar smile refuses to stay gone... the ones that laughed first, just might be the last to stop screaming.
Americans love the British monarchy. This may seem confusing because only a few short hundred years ago they were our worst enemies, and every year we celebrate our independence from them. The Crown humanizes the monarchy, which might explain its popularity.
The Gates, John Burr’s new thriller film, is a disturbingly realistic portrayal of three Black twenty-somethings - Derek (Mason Gooding), Kevin (Algee Smith), and Tyon (Keith Powers), as they accidentally take a wrong turn into a gated community that’s more like a modern-day sundown town. The three friends witness a variety of crimes in their new surroundings, including an attempted homicide and an attempted rape. As they attempt to alert the authorities and do the right thing, they are thwarted at every turn by the worst horror stories of American conservatism - racist white suburbanites, reckless gun violence, corrupt police, religious mania, and a megalomaniacal pastor.

One of the reasons I love watching movies is that, much like books, they serve as windows into other times and different places.

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