Hot Seat (2024)

Ester Shapiro who flees the only home she has ever known to start a new life in Berlin.

Hulu continues its Summer releases with The Princess. This film follows the princess (yes, she is unnamed) as she attempts to escape her tower, refusing to be wed to a cruel man vying for the throne. Action-packed and snarky, this is a decently fun film if you need a fighting fix.

While this film thinks that it is diagnosing the cause, it is merely diagnosing a symptom instead. 

This Disney Pixar movie is based on the elements air, fire, water, and earth.

For the entirety of Raiders of the Lost Ark, Marion remains in full control of both her body and her personality, a rarity for female characters at the time of the film’s release. She’s granted depth with personal demons from her past and emotional vulnerability when the situation deems it appropriate for her to grow alongside Indy. She avidly rejects the notion of being anything other than a sassy, humane rebel, and Indy’s equal in every way. This she does while still maintaining her femininity.

The problem isn’t that it’s bad. It's good. But it fails to stand out from a crowd of similar films.
