Dusty Mancinelli and Madeleine Sims-Fewer's gothic horror often loses sight of its central romance in favor of its numerous references. Like "The Shining," Dusty Mancinelli and Madeleine Sims-Fewer's "Honey Bunch" opens with its characters venturing into a rural area that immediately suggests isolation from the rest of the world. The central couple, Homer (Ben Petrie) and Diana (Grace Glowicki), are headed to an experimental therapy institute where they hope to cure the memory and motor control problems Diana suffered after a serious car accident. Directors: Dusty Mancinelli, Madeleine Sims-Fewer Writers: Madeleine Sims-Fewer, Dusty Mancinelli Stars: Grace Glowicki, Ben Petrie, Jason Isaacs As soon as the couple arrives at this remote facility, the film adopts the aesthetic of 1970s asylum thrillers, such as Gore Verbinski's "A Cure for Wellness" and Peter Strickland's neo-gialli. Homer and Diana exit their car and are confronted by a disem...

From 2011 to 2014, Suburgatory was unlike anything else on television. Creator Emily Kapnek drew on her experience of spending her formative years with her mother in Larchmont, New York, and applied dizzying absurdity to the story of George and Tessa Altman (Jeremy Sisto and Jane Levy), who move from New York City to the suburban community of Chatswin and quickly discover that the cruel streets of Manhattan are nothing like the surrealism of the suburbs.  They soon become attached to their increasingly eccentric group of neighbors: mother and daughter Dallas and Dalia Royce (Cheryl Hines and Carly Chaikin), wealthy and completely out of touch with reality; husband and wife Noah and Jill Werner (Alan Tudyk and Gillian Vigman), who try to raise their son while trying to avoid real parenthood; And the larger-than-life personalities Sheila and Fred Shay (Ana Gasteyer and Chris Parnell), their son Ryan (Parker Young), a naive jock, and their daughter Lisa (Allie Grant), a neurotic who h...

Joe goes on a road trip to his grandson's college. What follows is a generational gap, a crisis, and a lot of learning about Black culture. This movie was good and funny. If you like movies like "The Hangover" and other road trip movies, keep reading. The plot revolves around Joe, a foul-mouthed and loud man whose main goal is to teach his protected grandson, BJ, "real lessons about the world." BJ, on the other hand, is a quiet, reserved, vegan guy who is unaware of his own cultural heritage.  Director: Tyler Perry Writer: Tyler Perry Stars: Tyler Perry, Jermaine Harris, Amber Reign In such a situation, it's obvious that they both experience culture and generational clashes. What was supposed to be a simple college visit ends up becoming an adventure filled with bad jokes, car breakdowns, and, of course, some Black history lessons. As the movie progresses, it also becomes a matter of survival for grandfather and grandson. But even in the most serious situati...

The Turkish Netflix drama series, Museum of Innocence, based on the novel of the same name by Nobel Prize-winning author Orhan Pamuk and set in 1970s Istanbul, revolves around a young man's despair and devotion. Kemal Basmaci, the youngest son of a family of textile exporters, was in love with Sibel, who belonged to the wealthy bourgeoisie to which Kemal belonged. The 1970s witnessed a clash between Western and conservative lifestyles, and people like Kemal and Sibel prided themselves on having a Western perspective.  They had slept together before their marriage; Sibel believed she would marry him, so "going all the way" was a way of demonstrating her complete trust in him. Kemal was happy with her, but that was before he met her distant cousin, Fusun. They were not related by blood, and Fusun and her family were not as wealthy as Kemal's. Because of their social standing, they weren't invited to elegant gatherings, but that soon changed when Kemal became obsesse...

Aside from its big-name hits like Stranger Things, Emily in Paris, Squid Game, Wednesday, Bridgerton, and Monster, the crime genre is clearly Netflix's bread and butter. I can't pinpoint the exact moment this obsession began, but yes, the streaming platform has cultivated such a loyal audience that it can release even the most low-budget series or films; as long as they're set in some subgenre of crime, they'll be a success. And the most obvious consequence of this phenomenon, as with all phenomena in the entertainment world, is the emergence of a formula, since it allows a factory to mass-produce a product without really investing in quality.  You have a kind of tormented detective in the protagonist's role, the most unsuspecting person in the cast is the true antagonist, there are a bunch of red herrings that prevent you from figuring out the twist too soon, and then everyone goes home happily ever after. Sure, some creators are allowed to experiment with this for...
