Review: Flights of Reverie
Year: 2025 Runtime: 114 minutes Director: Li Wallis Writers: Li Wallis, John Dooley Actors: Gildart Jackson, Milena Rendón, Siebe Schoneveld, Julie Millaud, Juan Hurtado Bergeth, Benjamin Krüger, Erika Joy Mitschrich By Joan Amenn It is not often that a thriller of this quality can be found on streaming with little fanfare and yet so deserving of attention. “Flight of Reverie” is haunting in a quiet slow burn that reminded me of Peter Weir’s “The Last Wave’ (1977). Like that film, “Reverie” addresses themes of ecological disaster and human evolution. Director…

Review: The Running Man
Year: 2025 Runtime: 133 minutes Director: Edgar Wright Writers: Edgar Wright, Michael Bacall, based on the novel by Stephen King Actors: Glen Powell, Alyssa Benn, Sienna Benn, Lee Pace, Sean Hayes, Coleman Domingo, Josh Brolin, Michael Cera By Jordon Searle Director Edgar Wright adapts Stephen King's timely 1987 dystopian tale, set in the seemingly distant year 2025, which depicts an America fallen into a totalitarian hellscape, with prices soaring and the general public eager to seek escapism in strange, malevolent reality television. Perhaps someone should investigate Stephen King as an oracle?

For instance, Prey is about a young Native American girl who is not taken seriously as a hunter because of her size, her gender and her youth. She is looking to earn respect by going on her first hunt and finding a worthy kill.

You can search by zip code and a lot of places have wish lists set up on Chewy so you’ll be able to see exactly what they need and have it sent direct to them. Couldn’t be easier.
if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets.
no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

Review: Nuremberg
Year: 2025 Runtime: 148 minutes Director: James Vanderbilt Writers: James Vanderbilt, Jack El-Hai (adapted from his book, “The Nazi and the Psychiatrist”) Actors: Russell Crowe, Rami Malek, Michael Shannon, Richard E. Grant, Colin Hanks, John Slattery, Andreas Pietschmann, Leo Woodall By Joan Amenn The “banality of evil” was a phrase originated by Hannah Arendt in reference to Adolf Eichmann during his trial for crimes against humanity. “Nuremberg” explores the same banality focusing on a different Nazi nearly fifteen years prior to Arendt’s observations. Eichmann evaded justice until the 1960’s, but twenty-two of his contemporaries stood trial at Nuremberg.
