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.

Çetin's great love Esra wants to marry someone else. Tahsin suggests going to kickboxing. The kickboxing instructor, Saffet, wants Çetin to fight someone of his choice so he can join the class. Unknowingly, Çetin chooses Saffet Hoca's daughter Defne, the champion of Turkey, and is hospitalized. When Defne decides to take care of Çetin, a funny and romantic love affair begins.

Despite its simple premise, “imagine being a woman,” the horror behind "Men" feels fueled by a hollow understanding of the insidiousness of misogyny.
An aspect of She-Ra that I find refreshing is even though a large portion of the cast is on the LGBTQ+ Spectrum, being gay is never mentioned. While this might initially sound like a negative thing, in the show’s land of Etheria being on the gay spectrum is shown to be so common and normalized that straight isn’t the default. As much as there is to appreciate about narratives revolving around the obstacles that may come from being non-heteronormative, it’s nice to get immersed in a world where no one bats an eye at all to any sort of differing identity.

Between its problematic nature, its lack of originality, and the senselessness of its violence, Onslaught cannot be recommended in good faith.
Sonic is a pretty generic buddy comedy with a light dusting of eccentricity.
