 In the middle of the same weekend and sandwiched between two high-profile summer blockbusters, a new movie titled "Go West" emerged. This film, in stark contrast, exudes a less glamorous aura (with a character even suffering from dysentery) and operates on a noticeably lower budget, akin to a micro-budget independent production. However, the film's makers urge viewers not to hastily dismiss it. There are compelling reasons to give it a try, they say. For starters, the film features the storytelling skills of Sean Astin, adored for his portrayal of Sam in "The Lord of the Rings." Plus, the core ensemble of 10 brings to life what they affectionately call the "Monty Python of the Oregon Trail" concept: the original members of "Studio C," the BYUtv comedy show.

 At first glance, “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series” seems like a shameless cannibalization of a Disney property as required by a streaming service that relies on nostalgia. At second glance, well, that's completely accurate. To its credit, though, the show is candid about it, providing its smooth spin on an aggressively harmless franchise with a not-so-sly wink. The new series, which premieres November 12 alongside Disney Plus in its entirety, is neither a reboot, nor a revival, nor a sequel to the "High School Musical" film trilogy. (The first two aired on the Disney Channel in 2006 and 2007 before the third opened theatrically in 2008, grossing $252 million worldwide.) School Musical” was filmed putting on his own interpretation of the musical itself, treating it with the kind of reverence that usually belongs to an unimpeachable classic like “West Side Story.” It feels less like "High School Musical" than a sweet, very silly version of "Glee...

 This is obviously a tragic case, the anguish and despair are perfectly understandable. However, the attitude? Why do British citizens behave like this so often in an international environment? From British journalists spouting stereotypical comments about another culture, to Tim Blackman's disrespect and antagonistic attitude towards random Japanese people/policemen just trying to get on with their lives. Again, it's a serious case, and understandably standard behavior is out the window here, but trying to stick your signs anywhere and then giving an officer a hard time for nicely telling him not to? ?

Daniel Markowicz brings us an action thriller, Soulcatcher, where big guns are fired and action heroes throw hay while dark-haired femme fatales are unerring with big sniper rifles. There is also a massive laser pointer-like device that fries people's brains, and the good guys must wrest it from the bad guys. In theory, we could say that the movie has all the makings of an interesting watch, but the 98-minute running time proves for the umpteenth time that not all good scripts translate into a good movie. Starring Piotr Witkowski, Jacek Koman, Jacek Poniedzialek, and Aleskandra Adamska, among others, Soulcatcher goes all out on explosions and character designs, but a poorly formulated plot and severely predictable course of action sucks out all the fun it could. I have offered. Here is a complete Soulcatcher review for you to decide if this Polish action thriller is your thing or not.
