Das (perfekte) desaster Dinner
A thrilling weekend in the countryside. The wife is going to her mother's, and it's her lover's birthday. What could be better for a man in the midst of a midlife crisis? A catering service has been booked to give his lover a wonderful evening. His long-time friend has been invited as an alibi, in case anything goes wrong... Admittedly, the fact that this adultery is taking place in their shared weekend home is pretty nasty, but what's even nastier is that the long-time friend of the family is the wife's secret lover. Two hours of explanations for everyone involved. A cook who has to pose as a model, a model who can't tell soup from Sachertorte, a fictitious niece, a sick mother, and a midlife-crisis Casanova who would rather have bought a Porsche. Based on a comedy by Marc Camoletti.

"Him" (2025) Film Review-The realities of making the grade in professional sports gets a cultism-driven, horror film makeover
"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.
Ready or Not Review: A Joy for Horror Fans
Ready or Not takes a terrifying situation and has a fun time with horror components. The film melds horror and comedy, creating a cinematic hybrid that flows like running water.

‘She-Ra and the Princesses of Power’, a Worthwhile Watch to Celebrate Pride Month with the Whole Family!
An aspect of She-Ra that I find refreshing is even though a large portion of the cast is on the LGBTQ+ Spectrum, being gay is never mentioned. While this might initially sound like a negative thing, in the show’s land of Etheria being on the gay spectrum is shown to be so common and normalized that straight isn’t the default. As much as there is to appreciate about narratives revolving around the obstacles that may come from being non-heteronormative, it’s nice to get immersed in a world where no one bats an eye at all to any sort of differing identity.
