Hokum: A Balance of Cheapness and Luxury
Hokum is an enjoyable horror film that will probably get a little under your skin, but it isn’t the tour de force that you might be expecting.

In a café, Sandrine, 25 years old, recounts without regrets her arrival in Paris without money, her initiation into the profession of pickpocketing, and her stays in prison. Certain aspects of her story strangely echo the words of the police officer who arrested her.

I write for a diversity-focused film review blog, so I’ll be honest: I really wanted to like Pretty Lethal. Starring Maddie Ziegler, Lana Condor, Iris Apatow, Avantika, and Millicent Simmonds, Amazon Prime’s new thriller seemed like it would be a girl power movie about dancers with a horror action twist. Sort of a Suspiria for teens. But with shallow and unlikeable characters, a confusing plot, an overreliance on violence, and cringey dialogue, any fun the movie started out with was quickly lost. What was left was a faint echo of greater horror movies about dancers made before.
I have been a long-time fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe ever since it made its official debut through 2008's absolutely excellent "Iron Man". The run continued, as did my associated fandom of the films, through the utterly EPIC 2019 finale "Avengers: Endgame".
Although not canonically aromantic or asexual. the stories and personalities of these Disney princesses resonate with members of the aroace community.
The makings of a great midseason filler episode that would connect in many different directions. This is a police drama filler with a guest director.
