The genius of Rebuild is that it really gives itself the freedom to upend the table. This ability to play new games with their own pieces has truly brought a fresh energy to the (surprisingly stagnant) Star Wars franchise. Seriously, I didn’t see it coming.
Cinema can’t seem to resist the story of a high stakes gambler. From Leaving Las Vegas to Casino...
Richard Linklater’s Blue Moon is a study in contradiction. From the title card that opens the films with two contrasting comments about Lorenz Hart, it pushes and pulls viewers various directions at the same time. But it is only through that frenzy that we can appreciate the chaos that makes up this conflicted person.
There’s no denying that the tour de force performance by Byrne is magnificent to behold. Every glare contains a wealth of information that draws the viewer into her emotional state. But one should know that Kick You is also a harrowing emotional experience
What Phone seems to offer is a contemplation on trauma and the effects of PTSD on those who the traumatized person leaves behind. For the victims of The Grabber, there is a question of whether or not they can ever rest and so, the film offers a piece of comfort for lost and troubled souls.
It’s worth noting that the film features some wonderful performances by its cast, especially Elordi who delivers a potentially award-worthy performance as Frankenstein’s monster.

There’s no doubt that Tron: ARES wants to continue this reimagining of the Grid in future entries. And, you know what? Bring it on. Yes, it’s far from perfect. But with almost childlike wonder, Tron: ARES is such a blast to the senses that one can’t help but want to go back for more.
Generally, Roofman tackles this inner conflict with a light touch. Built around the romcom structure, Roofman is one of those films that feels accessible to anyone. It’s funny, earnest and fueled by charisma. Yet, despite its charm, Roofman also knows that life isn’t a fairytale.
Just to be clear: I’ve never played the videogame version of The Last of Us. But I’ve...
