'Phantom Pups' - A Series for Dog Lovers
This Netflix original series is for animal lovers and fans of light horror series.

Five-year-old Be Nang (Kim Thu), a smart and adorable girl, lives with her mother Trang—affectionately called Mama Rain (Thu Trang), who is mentally challenged and simple-minded. Every day, the two depend on each other in an abandoned house, making a living by selling lottery tickets and collecting scrap. Be Nang and Mama Rain are always cared for by Mr. Ba (Hoai Linh), who provides them with bowls of noodles on days when they don't have enough money to survive. Will the mother and daughter’s life continue to be peaceful with the love they have for each other?

The Invite is witty, dramatic, funny, and probably the best comedy released this year so far.
The social issues The Half of it takes on are handled well, between the antagonization brought on to Ellie for her race and the conflict that arises from her being gay. Both aspects of her character are built up over the course of the film and don’t seem abrupt or rushed. The film shows racism towards Ellie and her and father in varying levels, from having her schoolmates specifically address her as "Chinese girl” to the fore mentioned way her Dad is treated due to language barriers. The same can be said about Ellie being a lesbian. While she never truly “comes out” in the narrative, that does not undermine her journey of self-discovery from being meaningful. These ideas aren’t thrust upon the viewer in a preachy manor, the scenarios that occur feel believable given the rural setting. The film presents watchers with problems whom those like Ellie may face, and leaves us to sit with them and reflect.
Hours before their line-up of screenings for Trans Awareness Week began, the filmmakers of 'When Men Were Men' chatted with me about the film's personal exploration of masculinity.
I believe in homages, but there's a proper way to borrow a creative idea instead of making it appear as if you hit the copy and paste button. Most likely, anyone is better off simply reading the books. Or just put on Scream.
As a huge fan of Sean Baker’s Tangerine, The Florida Project, and Red Rocket, I’ve wanted to watch Anora since before it even was released. But life got in the way, my watchlist grew, and honestly, the fact that it was marketed as a romantic comedy put me off. Even with all the critical praise and the five Academy Awards it won last year, I just kept postponing it indefinitely.
