Ryan Murphy’s *Monster: The Ed Gein Story* tells the unsettling true story of Ed Gein, a notorious serial killer and grave robber from Plainfield, Wisconsin, during the 1950s. Charlie Hunnam delivers a standout performance as Gein in the third part of this anthology series. Like the show it’s often compared to, both series are based on real people, with some dramatic license taken for entertainment. Many fans who were disappointed by the cancellation of *Mindhunter* found the finale of *Monster* to be a particularly satisfying conclusion.

At the SAG Awards on February 23, 2025, Timothée Chalamet expressed his ambition, stating, “I’m really in pursuit of greatness.” He acknowledged that this kind of talk isn’t common, but emphasized his desire to be remembered as one of the best. Interestingly, his words mirrored the premise of his film *Marty Supreme*, which tells the story of a young man named Marty Mauser who relentlessly chases greatness despite facing skepticism, even going to extreme lengths to achieve it.

The story of a middle-aged man navigating a divorce and trying stand-up comedy in New York doesn’t sound like much, even with Will Arnett – known for playing divorced characters – co-writing the script. However, this film, directed by Bradley Cooper, who excels at realistic relationship stories, focuses less on the comedy and more on the breakdown of Alex’s marriage to Tess (Laura Dern), a former Olympic athlete who now stays at home with their children. Inspired by comedian John Bishop’s life, the film shows that Alex and Tess’s marriage had been struggling for a while before they separate. They manage to maintain a friendly facade, even pretending to still be together at a party, but the separation is inevitable. Despite agreeing they need space, they struggle to understand what went wrong, and they try to reassure their two sons that everything is okay.

It’s rare for a horror movie’s sound to be as impactful as what you see on screen, but Bryan Bertino’s new film, *Vicious*, definitely achieves that. Now available to stream, *Vicious* traps Dakota Fanning’s character, Polly, in a terrifying situation. One of the film’s best choices was to minimize the musical score, allowing Fanning’s performance and the chilling sound design to truly shine.
