As we come to Christopher Nolan’s 2017 war film Dunkirk, it’s fascinating to see how his relationship with time has changed over the course of his filmography. In the beginning, it was something to be manipulated to better illuminate identity and truth. But by the time you reach Interstellar and Dunkirk, time is the enemy. It can still be construed and dilated, but it also relentless and unforgiving. Dunkirk spans three timelines, but they all head to a singular point where triumph is not domination or beating back the enemy, but merely survival. Leaving behind the intersection of …
The world is in the midst of a pandemic where hundreds of thousands if not millions of lives will be lost. If your reaction to this is, "Boy, I wish there were some more Black Mirror right now!" then creator Charlie Brooker has some bad new for you. Speaking to the Radio Times [via IndieWire], Brooker says that he's working more on comedies than stories about societies falling apart: “I’ve been busy doing things. I don’t know what I can say about what I’m doing and not doing,” Brooker said. “At the moment, I don’t …
New Westworld, who dis? HBO's sci-fi hit is leaving the park behind and heading into the "real world" in the upcoming third season, which offers a bit of a soft reboot, including introducing Aaron Paul as a new leading character.

Spoilers ahead for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and The Mandalorian. When we look back on this chapter of the Star Wars franchise, the movie that will stand as the turning point is The Last Jedi. Regardless of what you think about the merits of that movie, we can at least agree that the film itself was divisive. Specifically, it was divisive because it dared question the world of Star Wars. For some in fandom, the mere act of questioning is an act of disrespect. To show true adoration, you must echo what came before and demonstrate a deep …
When you’re in high school, every moment feels make-or-break for the rest of your life. Whether it’s first love, first heartbreak, first failure, or your first big moment in the spotlight, those teenage years are rife with drama and the weight of expectation — especially when you’re in the theater, darling. Encore!, the new Disney+ reality series from producer Kristen Bell takes a look back on those halcyon days through the perspective of adulthood and (variable) maturity by rounding up groups of ex-theater kids putting them back on stage for an encore performance of the …
From Romeo and Juliet to Rebel Without a Cause and The Outsiders to Larry Clarke, Harmony Korine, and Greg Araki’s Doom Generation: the kids have never been alright. Especially when they’re on a stage or screen. But Euphoria, HBO’s first foray into young adult programming, takes the terror and tragedy of coming-of-age drama to the next level with an unflinching dive into the icy, bleak darkness of being a teenager in 2019. With all the prestige polish of HBO's cable legacy. Created by Sam Levinson (Assassination Nation), who also directs multiple episodes with abundant …
Be aware there are spoilers for both the 1989 and 2019 versions of Pet Sematary, as well as the original novel. If you've seen the new spin on Pet Sematary, heck even if you've just seen the trailer (don't read this if you've only seen the trailer), you know that the latest adaptation of Stephen King's classic novel takes some liberties and makes some big swings. Of course, there's the big switch -- it's not the toddler Gage who dies in this version, it's his older sister Ellie, and that key shakeup has …
