In September 1982, the city of Chicago was swept with paranoia after it was revealed that a lethal dose of potassium cyanide was found laced inside the miracle drug, Tylenol. In this fictional re-telling of the story, we follow a character who, moments after taking Tylenol, finds out about the poisoning. We see what could be his final moments, in a sensitive and emotional character driven piece.
As this critic continues to look back at some of this Summer's films I have taken in, I would be remiss if I didn't mention one of the most overall unsettling trends in Hollywood over the last several years.....sequels, reboots, and remakes. Look, I am all for seeing more than one film for certain originals that made a splash, ie: "Jurassic Park", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Transformers", etc.
'Sex Education' is one of the most diverse shows I've ever seen! From sexuality to gender identity to race, this show features so many minorities and so many different kinds of relationships!
The Roses is a wickedly sharp marital warfare comedy that transforms domestic dysfunction into high art. Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch deliver powerhouse performances as a couple whose fairy-tale romance implodes when his architectural career collapses just as her culinary empire takes off. What makes Jay Roach's remake so devastatingly effective is its refusal to pick sides—both spouses are equally sympathetic and monstrous, wielding Tony McNamara's razor-sharp dialogue like weapons forged from shared intimacies. It's a film that dares you to laugh at relationship wreckage while forcing you to confront the uncomfortable truth that the line between passionate love and mutual destruction is terrifyingly thin.
From the cinematography to the script to the acting, Sorry, Baby is undoubtedly one of the best films of the year.
There’s enough evidence to insinuate that What We Do in the Shadows is intentionally queer-coded.
A deer caught in the headlights is the perfect metaphor for Animals.
