Extinct (2021): Fresh Donuts, Half Baked Morals
The plot lags, the moral lessons are misguided, but are those fluffy little donut creatures adorable? Yes. Yes, they are.

Sentenced to death for a series of heinous crimes, Alicia Malvar awaits her fate on death row. Before being executed in the electric chair, she receives an interview with journalist Aldo Fernández, an unscrupulous man seeking only the interview that will catapult him to fame. What begins as a solemn report transforms into a grotesque spectacle, where the murderer manipulates her interviewer and the media turns tragedy into entertainment. Filmed in less than ten hours with a 90s video camera, the film satirizes a morbid 90s television series, following a manipulative serial killer moments before her execution in the electric chair.

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.
Fire Island is Hulu's most recent romantic comedy and the latest spin on the Jane Austen classic, Pride and Prejudice.
I Love You Forever, marketed as a “subversive” romantic comedy is in fact a painful horror film about a young woman deep in the throes of an abusive relationship.
The fun tricks used in the production design and lighting read extremely well on-screen but hardly fulfill their purpose of trying to inject glamour into a lack-luster story with nothing to say.
Halle's belting, crystal clear notes, and warm tone infused something into this blockbuster that I thoroughly enjoy.
