Sense and Sensibility
Some authors’ work seems destined to be adapted again and again. Shakespeare comes to mind, along with Edgar Allan Poe, Alexandre Dumas, and, for the romantics among us, Jane Austen. From Pride and Prejudice (Mr. Darcy and all), to Emma and Sense and Sensibility, filmmakers keep finding reasons to return to her stories.

Ha-Chan, Shake Your Booty!
Once, in a Star Trek movie—Generations, to be precise—I heard a quote about life that has stuck with me: “Someone once told me that time is a predator that stalks us all our lives.
India’s Solar Boom Runs Into a 217 GW Oversupply Problem
India’s Solar Supply Chain NEW DELHI — India’s installed solar capacity has surged from less than 3 GW in March 2014 to 168 GW by August 2026, making the solar sector the undisputed vanguard of the country’s clean-energy growth.

Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma
There’s a saying I’ve always liked: every movie is someone’s favorite. I can absolutely get behind that because I know what it’s like to love a movie that everyone else seems to dismiss. That’s the beauty of movies—and music, for that matter. They connect with us in different ways. Think about that one film you always come back to, the one that feels like a comfort watch or somehow speaks directly to your soul. Jane Schoenbrun’s Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma gave me that feeling.
The Magic Faraway Tree
Every so often, someone claims that kids today just aren’t interested in adventures anymore. Maybe they’re right—or maybe kids are just waiting for the right adventure to come along. I don’t want to launch into a full-blown “when I was a kid” speech, but honestly, when I was growing up, adventure movies were everywhere. Films like The NeverEnding Story, The Goonies, The Black Hole, and The Muppet Movie encouraged us to dream big, believe in magic, and head off into the unknown.
World Bank connects global waste system administrators
The Washington-based World Bank Group hosted waste management administrators from several nations with developing economies in Japan this May to explore how that nation deploys its resources to collect and handle discarded materials. “Many lower-income countries are working to establish the foundations of effective municipal waste management systems while responding to rapid population growth, fast paced urbanization and increasing environmental pollutions,” says the World Bank.

The Rivals of Amziah King
There’s a scene in La La Land where Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone are walking through a Hollywood backlot. Emma Stone looks around, smiles, and simply says, “I love this.” I know exactly what she means. Every now and then I’ll see a movie—or even a behind-the-scenes featurette—that makes me stop and think, God, I love movies. Five minutes into Andrew Patterson’s The Rivals of Amziah King, that’s exactly how I felt.

Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass
The games we play in relationships can be dangerous. Some can drive a wedge between you, while others are harmless fun. I’m talking about those hypothetical games where you sit around asking, “What would you do if…?” One of the classics is the celebrity hall pass game—the one celebrity you’d let your significant other have a free pass with if the opportunity ever presented itself. After all, it’s not like Jon Hamm is going to show up in a hot air balloon and steal your girlfriend away…or is he?

Voicemails for Isabelle
One of the things I’ve discovered from watching movies is that when you find a filmmaker or actor whose work you connect with, you should follow them wherever they go. Part of that is simply wanting to support artists you enjoy, but the bigger reason is that you usually know what you’re getting. There’s a good chance their sensibilities align with yours, and that makes taking a chance on something new a lot easier.

Blades of the Guardians
A few years ago, the cinema gods came down to earth and gave us RRR, reminding us just how epic movies can be. Epics used to be the standard, back when films had to feel massive to match the giant screens they were displayed on. Nowadays, though, a lot of people watch movies on smaller screens—sometimes even on their phones—so not everything feels as grand as it once did. Thankfully, for those of us who love big, sweeping cinema, there are still some filmmakers that haven’t forgotten.

Merrily We Roll Along
In a world where we have endless entertainment at our fingertips, it can be tough to decide what to watch. Between great TV shows and a constant flow of movies, it’s pretty easy to forget the magic of a Broadway show. And honestly, there’s a simple reason for that: Broadway is the least accessible of all our entertainment options. Not many of us can hop on a plane to New York to see a live show, and even the touring productions can be hard to catch.

It’s the perfect on-ramp for the next generation of spooky-season addicts.

Murder at the Embassy
It seems like there is a lot of crime in movies these days. Luckily for all of us, there are also plenty of detectives around to solve them. Of course, I’m talking about the wave of whodunit films that has taken over theaters and streaming platforms. If you’re like me, that’s a good thing — I love figuring out who killed who, with what, and why, guided by a smart and observant detective.

Kiss of The Spider Woman
I have never been shy about my love for musicals — what can I say, they just have a tendency to hit the right note with me. That’s why whenever a new one is announced, my musical antenna goes up and I circle the release date on the calendar. My love for the genre, though, doesn’t make me blind to its flaws — not all musicals are created equal. There are, however, some aces up the sleeve, and one of them is having Bill Condon direct.

If I Had Legs I'd Kick You
If you hang out online long enough, you’re bound to see a video of someone in a coffee shop or store having a breakdown and yelling at a stranger. It’s easy, as we watch, to judge them and ask ourselves, WTF is up with them? What we rarely do is think about what led to that exact moment — what the breaking point was. Everyone has their problems. Life is tough. And few movies I’ve seen recently capture the unraveling of a person better than Mary Bronstein’s If I Had Legs I’d Kick You.
One Battle After Another
There is a list in most film lovers’ heads of filmmakers whose new movies you’d drop everything to see. For me, that list includes Spielberg, Scorsese, Tarantino, and PTA — Paul Thomas Anderson. The reason is simple: with these filmmakers, when their film arrives, you can basically announce it as “a new classic has entered the building,” because we know the level of artistry we’re going to get.
