Jasper's Music Lesson (1943)

Despite everything it was capable of, all of these poor choices strung together amount to nothing more than a counter-productive film.

A wholesome love story that's perfect for fans of romance movies and animal lovers.

Outer Banks (2020-) knows its audience: young adults in a country that can’t stop romanticizing good ole’ treasure hunts. Add a little of Riverdale’s (2017-) sex appeal, and no one can look away. Forty years after The Goonies (1985) America’s consciousness hasn’t strayed from the same tropes: treasure hunts, a vulnerable white male lead, and the whitewashing of a racially segregated setting.

Steven Soderbergh’s Contagion is a fan-favorite, as are some of the more science fiction angled movies like 28 Days Later or World War Z. I recently watched the 1995 Wolfgang Peterson-directed movie, Outbreak for the first time, which is currently available on Netflix.

This emotional, frightening, and dreamlike story examines the ways actresses are exploited in the name of art.
