Entitlement and the Food Industry in 'The Menu'
'The Menu' has a strong story. The 5 acts, which are defined by the courses, are an excellent subversion of the classic 5-act film structure.

Debee Ashby, Cindy Milo and Nickie Christie are in Barbados on location for the Electric Blue team. Meanwhile, Ricky Diamond is castaway on a desert island. Bad jokes and great tits ensue. In "Blind Date," Tamara (Tami Lee Curtis) is an ordinary Valley girl, whose mother (Carol Connors) sets her up on a blind date with nerdy Henry (Rick Savage). But Henry turns out to be an international spy, and the pair are whisked off on an adventure featuring a beautiful princess, a fabulous jewel, and the world's greatest Omar Sharif impersonator. Other briefer segments involve a nude disco, nude body painting and "Satin & Lace," a tongue-in-cheek look at lingerie covering the Elizabethan and Victorian eras.

Ultra-violent storytelling has never been my thing, but the issues with Scarface go beyond that. The film perpetuates harmful stereotypes about Latinx immigrants and uses gore and misogyny for shock value that never serves any purpose. The whole venture is frustratingly empty, and left me desiring something more.
Hustlers was meant to be a film about female empowerment. And it was, to a certain extent. I expected and wanted this to be a kickass and complex film of sexy women who use their confidence, skills, and wits towards a brilliant plan to get revenge on the Wall Street guys who wronged them.
The “gay best friend”, an age-old trope, has been done in countless films and television series. Ranging from one-note (Sex and the City's Stanford and Mario) to nuanced (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt's Tituss), the gay best friend exists to support and advise the main protagonist, with their conflicts swept to the side.
Avatar: The Last Airbender's success fifteen years after its premiere proves the enduring power of its storytelling. But it's more than just a quality show.
Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tony-winning musical translates beautifully to the screen.
