Black Swan and its dark feminine energy
Every movement becomes a question of identity. To become who we are meant to be. In order to reach that we often have to shed who we once were, and that shedding can sometimes be so brutal it’s ungraceful.

Commanding officer Ivan of the People's Expeditionary Force embarks on a mission to annex a small unclaimed island off the coast of Zhelinda, accompanied by his newly conscripted cadet Wesley. But as the two make landfall, the party loses contact with their home base, as their country is overthrown. With limited supplies and no escape, Ivan and Wesley must settle their ideological differences to maintain a grip on their defunct nation's last colony- not to mention, survive as island castaways in this tale of political and personal intrigue.

Many have interpreted Maya Deren’s Meshes of the Afternoon as a dream sequence, but what if the repetitive scenes we are given are not dreams but, a time loop.
The assassins in Bullet Train are quirky, deadly, and diverse. Yet, they all seem to be some type of caricature. While the movie is fun and action-packed, it’s also packed with stereotypes that don’t make for the best representation.
"WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO SACRIFICE?!!!!" "EVERYTHING!!!!!" This is but one of a multitude of highly emphatic questions, and subsequent answers, being asked in the newest feature film from one of the current masters of horror, Jordan Peele ("Get Out", "Us" and "Nope"). I must give Peele credit in that he continues to push the boundaries of specific genres and their associated tropes in order to provide what ends up amounting to subtly then jarringly intense, yet still character and story-driven, cinema that speaks more to indie stylings than mainstream.
