One step. A slight hop to launch, and you’re airborne. The goal is to make the dive look easy, to enter the water like a sword through butter, with not a single ripple to show for it. The goal is not to smack the water, belly-down, but as in the new novel, "Man Overboard!" by Kathleen Rooney, to do it with grace, elegance - and definitely with sobriety.

Hig (Jacob Elordi) may be the most perfect guy alive, not that he's got much competition. In Ridley Scott's simple-minded sociological study "The Dog Stars," an influenza epidemic wiped out the majority of our squabblesome species sometime during the last decade.

Geopolitical volatility and uncertainty have become an all-too-common part of life globally. The world is experiencing more active wars than at any point since World War II, according to the International Rescue Committee (IRC). Perhaps the most high-profile global conflict this year has been the U.S.-Israel attack on Iran, but it’s hardly the only such example of the violence and disruption impacting people and locations around the world.
