Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)

Ripley is a great character because she serves two distinct, but rewarding, purposes in the original film and the sequel.

The Fog follows more of a 1950s creature feature plot than a late-70s slasher with three legendary scream queens.

In this remake of the 1993 film of the same name, The Wedding Banquet follows the life of two queer couples as they struggle with life-changing decisions.

Severance is about breaking down facades and confronting old models that were once frameworks of our lives. The somewhat subtle message to me is it’s never too late to fall in love, no matter your insecurities. 

In Saudi Arabia, a little girl (Wadjda) is told she can't have a bike because she's a girl. Wadjda struggles to obtain a bicycle to race her friend, Abdullah, due to the gender inequality and cultural norms of Saudi Arabia.

In 'Maestro,' we're left with an impression but not with an understanding of the main character.
