Movie Review: Sofia Coppola’s ‘On the Rocks’
The film does not add anything to its own conversation or genre, and falls flat once it’s about to end and must declare some sort of conclusion.

A lonely farmer from the Tver region, Sergey, is forced to sell part of his holdings due to debts. The buyer turns out to be Alisa, a businesswoman from the capital, for whom this is an easy and profitable deal. Unexpectedly, Sergey refuses Alisa and asks her to leave. Discouraged by such a "warm" welcome, the girl decides to convince Sergey and remains to live in his house. After all, even nature itself helps Alisa, bringing down a hurricane on the farm, blocking all exits. Will a rural handsome man and a metropolitan socialite be able to get along together for at least a couple of days? And at what point will they understand that they are united not only by business, but also by love.

In addition to the cast being delightfully diverse this time around, the film was just loosely-plotted and action-packed enough to keep a casual fan like myself entertained. While I do agree that the writing of Cole left much to be desired for an original character thrust into a preconceived universe, none of the characters seemed particularly fleshed out in terms of personality; however, I think that's to be expected when you're watching a film literally inspired by a video game.
Marvel's Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur shine as they battle their way through supervillains, social issues, and school bullies on the Lower East Side. Moon girl magic in the moonlight! A must-see for all Marvel and fantasy/science fiction fans.
"The Platform" is horror and science fiction film doubling as a visual commentary on capitalism and economic inequality. The movie is not for the faint of heart nor the viewer hoping for political neutrality in their film's depth.
Mr. Malcolm's List is a pleasant promenade through a fantasy Regency-era England filled with people of color. For fans of Bridgerton, this is the PG version of the show, but with completely colorblind casting and a much lighter tone.
This fantasy movie released on Disney+ has strong topics and themes related to magic.
