What’s Missing in the Lilo & Stitch Posters? A Face and a Deeper Concern
Where is Lilo's face? Disney marketing sends a chilling signal: that even in 2025, an alien is more palatable and marketable than a brown girl.

"Kumarn" tells a story of Ging who takes her son for a vacation in a forest. One night, a stranger break into her house and kidnaps her son. Ging tells the police and finds out that the stranger is an undertaker at a temple. The accused undertaker claims he never breaks into her house so Ging goes into the forest to seek help from a monk on pilgrimage but instead witnesses the undertaker performing an ancient ritual of taking a baby out of a dead pregnant woman and making it KUMARN, a guardian doll. Being chased after by the undertaker, Ging loses her mind. Nop, Ging’s boyfriend and Pam, a nurse and also his close friend, come to the house and see Ging unstable holding tight to a clay doll she believes her son is trapped in it. Nop and Pam force to send Ging to asylum without realizing that it leads to a tragic consequence.

If you’re looking for an engaging female-led film that touches on the genres of action, drama, and thriller, look no further than Le-Van Kiet’s "Furie".
Few movies deal with aging (particularly aging women) with as much compassion as Relic does. Yet it’s not sickly sweet and not a soapbox rant against ageism. Relic simply is, allowing the horror to seep in quietly and carefully.
Many call 'Tragedy Girls' a modern-day 'Heathers', and I do see the resemblance. The film asks the same question that all teenagers suffer with: who am I? Well, the movie answers this — you are your online presence.
Netflix's new thriller Apex, starring Charlize Theron, puts a twist on survival horror. Despite its setting in the beautiful- yet-dangerous Australian wilderness, Apex is not a movie about man vs. nature. Instead, it’s woman vs. man. While checking out the title card and its unpretentious Netflix release might lead viewers to believe Apex is just another celebrity project churned out of the streaming machine, Apex - whether by luck or by intention - is a consistently harrowing film about the reality of being a woman in a public space.
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.
