The Power of the 'Reservation Dogs'
'Reservation Dogs' is stacked with an array of Native American performers and crew telling their own story.

Perhaps few words are as powerful as the word monster. It can certainly evoke countless thoughts and sensations. When faced with it, you might picture characters from your childhood, from lullabies, or from short stories told by adults to instill fear and encourage good behavior.

The new biopic 'Elvis' highlights the beginning and end of the career of this rock and roll legend. The audience is taken on this journey knowing the tragic ending but not so much about what led him there.

Instead, the horror and transformation elements seem thrown in without contemplation of how this could deepen the narrative.
