'Don't Breathe 2,' the Horror Sequel That Offers a Rapist an Undeserving Redemption Arc
'Don't Breathe 2' is a sequel that forgoes almost everything that made its predecessor good, and asks audiences to root for a rapist on top of that.

"...[T]he twenty-three-minute Our Union...premiered at the union’s 12th annual national convention in Boston... The film presented 'the history of the UE from its birth in depression days to its present strength. Shows how UE grew in the struggle to bring security to its membership and to the people of the nation as a whole.' At the same time it has a semi-fictional story as 'Tragedy strikes the home of this family when a company spy shoots down the worker who tries to organize his shop. The blacklist, the spy, the violence used in the early days of the UE and the CIO are vividly presented by "Our Union," which stresses that today there are groups trying to bring back the conditions of the early 1930s.' Although Union Films made Our Union, its role went unmentioned on prints and in the press." (Charles Musser, Yale)

When they’re young, they’re America’s darlings but, when they become teens and adolescents, they’re instantly perceived as harbingers of immorality.

But, despite what many media outlets, politicians, and the general public may think, they are human beings above anything else. The new Billie Eilish documentary, Billie Eilish: The World’s A Little Blurry, proves this — showing the trials, tribulations, and humanity when growing up with all the world’s eyes on you.
Ian and Barley embark on a quest to find a magical gem to restore their father back to life.
Honey Don't! is a chaotic queer noir that's part detective story, part midnight movie madness. Margaret Qualley is fantastic as the wise-cracking private eye Honey, with Aubrey Plaza and Chris Evans adding their own dry humor to the mix. The mystery itself is pretty loose, but the film makes up for it with crackling sexual tension, weird side characters, and razor-sharp dialogue. It's messy and uneven, but in the best possible way.
