Parallel (2016)

Based on the best-selling novel by Angie Thomas and a maxim of the late Tupac Shakur.

In light of the trailer release for the Five Nights at Freddy's sequel, it’s due time to talk about the first movie.

Ripley is a great character because she serves two distinct, but rewarding, purposes in the original film and the sequel.

The one-way journey went to the desert that refused to offer an answer or a transcendence.

Netflix’s new comedy drama, Don’t Say Good Luck, is a heartwarming tearjerker as well as a love letter to the transformative power of being a theater kid. Directed by Julia Hart, Don’t Say Good Luck follows Sophie (Sunny Sandler), a theater kid who finally gets the lead role in her school’s production of Waitress - just as she finds out her mom Elizabeth (Melanie Lynskey) is dying of cancer. While the singing is by no means spectacular and Sandler’s acting is stiff, the film is grounded in the moving performance of Lynskey as a mother who wants nothing more than for her daughter to achieve her dreams, even if she can’t be there to see them.

The Lego Movie achieves great humor and story with a combination of childish comedy, adult references, irony, and by subverting popular movie tropes.
