'Space Sweepers' Review: A Charming Sci-Fi Adventure with a Political Message
Behind all the action, 'Space Sweepers' is a surprisingly heartfelt and progressive story about building community.

At the end of the Edo Period which brought the era of the samurai to a close, Ryu is the descendant of a "genin", the lowest rank in the ninja hierarchy. Due to such a low rank, he lives a miserable existence. Then a secret order is received from Katsu Kaishu bidding for the recovery of princess Shizuka, a Satsuma native, from the home of a prominent vassal in Edo.

'Call Me Kate' is for the fans. It's an intimate account of an iconic film star.
Strangers in a crowd, exchanging glances, looking away, continually managing to run into each other then part ways, end up at the same diner, find they've rented the exact same vehicles, and are then made to travel together to learn once more whether they can both find genuine adoration and companionship again. This really does, in so many words, sum up the foundational gist of of this new feature film from writer Seth Reiss ("The Menu") and director Kogonada ("The Acolyte", "After Yang"). Yet, it's all only the set-up for the REAL wonder of everything that happens before, during, and in the aftermath of a magical, meaningful journey.
Escape The Field is a serviceable horror thriller. The characters are easier to remember as horror character tropes. As I wrote this review, I only remembered the characters by their tropes: #FinalGirl, #Everyman, #Badass, #MeanB*/SexyGirl, #Realist/BlackLesbian, and #TheNerd.
Earth and Blood is slow, but it still has it’s entertaining moments. If you’re into thrillers, or want to watch something new, then this film might be for you. As for me, Earth and Blood was tolerable enough.
A bumpy journey about revolution and family makes us feel fear, disgust, humor, and satisfaction.
