Tough Guy Babysits…Again: Playing with Fire
'Playing with Fire' was clearly a film made for a kid or tween-ish audience. Keeping that in mind, I thought 'Playing with Fire' was alright, though it did portray some harmful stereotypes.
Tragedy
Philosophy professor Yurii looses any and all interest in life after the tragic passing of his wife. After the Olympian gods suddenly announce their return, he, along with his TA Kolya, decide to take a road trip across post-war Ukraine in order to reach the Underworld and bargain for the return of the souls of the people they lost to the living world.
