Christopher Nolan is known for creating visually stunning films, and his 2006 movie, The Prestige, is a perfect example – it’s a truly exceptional film that doesn’t get the attention it deserves. Released between the first two Batman movies, The Prestige has Nolan’s best storytelling and a truly surprising twist.
Taylor received a nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Perfidia Beverly Hills in the film One Battle After Another. Her performance in the film was highlighted during her first time hosting Saturday Night Live. Beyond the film, she’s also known for her dancing, particularly in the music video for the song “Fade.” This talent was even featured in a promotional video and a sketch during her SNL debut. If the Oscars decide to include dance performances in their tributes again, Taylor would be a great choice, as she clearly enjoys performing and staying active.
The story immediately feels like a play, starting with Joe, a disheartened music teacher, returning home to find his meticulous and worried wife, Angela, busy preparing a dinner party for their neighbors upstairs. Joe is caught off guard, especially since he and Angela dislike these neighbors, who disturb them with loud noises at all hours. Their constant arguing early on hints that their neighbors might actually be more stable than they are. When Hawk and Pina arrive, they seem calm and perceptive, even revealing they overheard Joe and Angela’s fight before knocking. He’s a former firefighter, she’s a sex therapist, and suddenly, the neighbors are in control of the situation, mentally and emotionally.
The TV show based on Elmore Leonard’s work lasted six seasons and was later revived as a limited series called City Primival. Whether the show will return after the cliffhanger ending of Justified: City Primival remains to be seen, but it’s already considered a classic. The first season had some uneven moments, but the show really hit its stride starting with the second season.
I think Gen Z is really insightful. For a long time, movies haven’t shown sex in a very realistic way. Now, there’s a push for more authenticity, which is great. I see that statistic as Gen Z telling us they’re tired of things feeling fake and want to see relationships that are real and genuine. I think that’s a positive change.
Size Five Games’ new game, Earth Must Die, is a delightfully funny surprise! This BAFTA-winning studio hasn’t lost its touch, delivering a wonderfully absurd adventure. Playing as VValak Lizardtongue, the hilariously clumsy heir to a galactic empire, felt less like playing a game and more like watching a new Adult Swim cartoon. His comical incompetence is genuinely entertaining.
Alex Honnold’s recent climb, featured in the Netflix documentary Skyscraper Live, involved scaling the Taipei 101, a massive 1,667-foot building. Even though I don’t know Honnold personally, watching him climb was incredibly nerve-wracking, like watching someone I cared about. It’s easy to imagine how anxious his wife, Sanni McCandless, must have been as he climbed. She shared her feelings during the documentary, and they were completely relatable.
I recently watched Free Fire, and it was a wild ride! It’s directed by Ben Wheatley, and I play an IRA member back in the late 70s. Basically, we head to this warehouse in Boston to make a gun deal – there’s an arms dealer, a middleman, and all their people. But old grudges quickly flare up, and before you know it, everyone’s shooting at each other over the money and the weapons. It’s just a total chaotic shootout!
