Denise Austin: Hit The Spot Pilates (2005)

By undermining the appeal and credibility of black characters, the show compromises the very idea of diversity and representation it sets to promote.

As a huge fan of Sean Baker’s Tangerine, The Florida Project, and Red Rocket, I’ve wanted to watch Anora since before it even was released. But life got in the way, my watchlist grew, and honestly, the fact that it was marketed as a romantic comedy put me off. Even with all the critical praise and the five Academy Awards it won last year, I just kept postponing it indefinitely.

"Abominable" is an exciting story for children and a great step forward for positive Asian representation.

"Terrace House" improves on the standard reality TV format by affording its cast privacy, freedom, and respect.

Overall, Cruella stands above the other Disney retellings. Its dark and bold, and that is exactly what these retellings should be. Emma Stone continues to prove she's one of the finest young actresses working today, and Emma Thompson gives one of the best villain performances in the last decade. The fashion is stunning, the dogs are adorable, and the story is wildly vibrant and original. It's classic movie fun, and it shouldn't be overlooked.

Life may find a way, but is it worth testing its fierceness and how far it will go?
