Hylnur Pálmason‘s bittersweet family drama THE LOVE THAT REMAINS charts a year in the life of a fragmenting family, with heaps of surrealism, poignant points about loneliness and time, and the cutest sheepdog you ever did see.

Kid-centered spinoff STAR TREK: STARFLEET ACADEMY can be cringe as all getout. But like any set of young people, it's got potential, and unlike other Star Trek shows, it's got Holly Hunter sitting bisexually in a captain's chair.

Hulu's A Thousand Blows Season 2 Punches Even Harder: Review
The show remains as elegantly and intensely staged as ever.
If you give ANY ground to the notion that this shit is justified, or anything other than raw, rampant extrajudicial murder of an innocent person in a police state, you and I cannot be kin.
Forensic analysis of objective video evidence. This is how you serve readers searching for clarity.
Surprising no one, the new January slasher PRIMATE is rock stupid, from its contrived premise to its blinkered cast of characters who exist merely to be ripped apart by a rabid chimp like sentient Slim Jims.
Ofc, it's very my shit.

Renee Nicole Good was 37. She was murdered by an ICE agent in the street in broad daylight. What really happened to her will not be forgotten, minimized, or ignored.
Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

A reminder - before Trump, MAGA, Musk and Fox rewrote history - that this is what the entire country agreed had happened five years ago today:
RIP to one of cinema's greatest purveyors of darkness, and yet one of our most empathetic filmmakers. Seeing DAMNATION last year at @facetschicago - my first Bela - was such a haunting, meditative experience; I was in the hands of someone who knew the depths of the human psyche & held it with care.
