The Wonderful World of Disney: Magical Holiday Celebration (2019)

"WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO SACRIFICE?!!!!" "EVERYTHING!!!!!" This is but one of a multitude of highly emphatic questions, and subsequent answers, being asked in the newest feature film from one of the current masters of horror, Jordan Peele ("Get Out", "Us" and "Nope"). I must give Peele credit in that he continues to push the boundaries of specific genres and their associated tropes in order to provide what ends up amounting to subtly then jarringly intense, yet still character and story-driven, cinema that speaks more to indie stylings than mainstream.

The film seems like an extreme interpretation of the conspiracy theorists that exist in real life. And then, there’s the twist.

“Synchronic” is special, but it doesn’t succeed in achieving all the objectives it aims for. The film is a science fiction oeuvre which tries to be cerebral at some points, although the original idea is interesting, it only accomplishes to talk about some serious matters superficially.

Spoiler Warning

'Yuri!!! on Ice' turned queerbaiting on its head and gave me hope when I needed it the most.

A K-9 police dog goes undercover to stop an illegal animal smuggling ring and learns a valuable lesson along the way.
