How 'Wadjda' Brings Girl Empowerment to Saudi Girls, and Girls all Around the World

First, I love the film, Wadjda (2012)for indulging in femininity. Wadjda reminds me of my younger self, who had wavy, untamed hair and preferred to wear sneakers over flats and heels. There was a time when the only fictional character that resembled me, physically, was Princess Jasmine from Aladdin (1992). We came from different backgrounds, but like me, Jasmine had long, flowing hair and the lightest brown skin. I didn't have many female role models that had my type of hair or my skin color. As I watched Wadjda, I told myself, "where was this film when I was ten". I kept imagining how great it would have been to meet a real-life Wadjda, we could have colored our sneakers together.

Watch Terrible Tourists Get Eaten In "The Devil's Mouth"

In Amazon’s new shark flick, The Devil’s Mouth, terrible tourists finally get their comeuppance while two estranged best friends must overcome their petty squabbles to survive as the rest of their party gets chomped one by one. While it’s by no means an Oscar winner, The Devil’s Mouth is good old fashioned shark week carnage with a tourist critical twist, perfect with popcorn, a friend, and a healthy does of schadenfreude.

"The Father" is a Depressing But Insightful Look at Dementia

With The Father, writer-director Florian Zeller- who wrote and developed the play upon which the film is based- pulls no punches as he confidently makes every effort to put the audience in the mind of someone whose grip on reality has all but vanished. It’s a dazzling testament to Zeller’s abilities as a director as he makes his first transition from stage to film appear as if he’s been working behind a camera his entire career. The dialogue he fashions with co-writer Christopher Hampton, along with the work of production designers Peter Francis and Cathy Featherstone, collectively makes the downward spiral of dementia startlingly tangible, doing so in a way that can be comprehended by everyone except the person it directly affects.
