Are we just active,  in-process, obituaries  for an eventual interest read and remembrance from the curious? Can we be more?

What is it about?  After an average screw-up is mistaken for an assassin, they must work together to accomplish the mission at hand to break free from other restraints as well.  Who is in it? Kevin Hart - Teddy Jackson Woody Harrelson - The Man from Toronto Favorite Scene:  Teddy is on his first assignment from The Man from Toronto and is in a conference room, and must find out key information. What happens next is Teddy's goofiness shining through awkwardly.  Favorite Quote:   Teddy: [About his minute photos] What's that, for your little serial killer wall? The Man From Toronto: You think you'd make the wall? Come on, man. You're barely fridge material. Review:  This one lasted on the "My Watch" list for a few years. After finally getting to it, I wasn't disappointed.  Woody Harrelson is one of those actors for me who typically isn't in bad stuff, so this one got the benefit of the doubt. While I love Kevin Hart, the trailer alone felt very similar to...

TNA is back.  And I know that because it is heavily under scrutiny by the internet. But that criticism comes with being back on a major platform like the AMC Network, and of course, taking the next step after a super successful 2025.  So, what did I think?  The show was...ummmm okay, at best. Some of the challenges the company faced heading into this weekend were well documented among the rumor mill, which didn't bode well for the company. In balancing reported visa issues with talent, pivoting after losing core talent to free agency, and attempting to build and manage talent workload with a premium live event on Saturday, TNA found themselves in the usual TNA stuff. The most peculiar - and strangest - of situations to be in going into a big network premiere. This company, man! All in all, again, the show was okay. It had its flaws. It had some cool moments. It didn't live up to the hype (or the expectations we each had for such a premiere). But it's one show. TNA has put...

It's difficult not to make it personal.  I stared at the words on the screen of my phone as I made my way to the section of S's... Saint Vincent and the Grenadines I knew it was coming. After all, before I got there, listed were Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Jamaica, St. Kitts and Nevis, and St. Lucia...islands of the beautiful Caribbean that make up my family. My culture. My roots.  Then, yes, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.  Damn, son! What did we do?! Surely, we aren't considered a threat, right?  Interesting. --- The State Department will pause immigrant visa processing from 75 countries whose migrants take welfare from the American people at unacceptable rates. The freeze will remain active until the U.S. can ensure that new immigrants will not extract wealth from the American people. — Department of State (@StateDept) January 14, 2026 There is a lot changing in our country right now. There are also many people who have strong opinions on immigration policie...

What is it about?  Following the progression of two couples over the course of a summer.  Who is in it? Emma Roberts - Hallie Michael Ambrano - Owen Dree Hemingway - Willa Patrick Gibson - Matt Favorite Scene:  [Spoiler Alert] Matt and Villa sit on the stairs, and he admits to not wanting to introduce Willa to his parents.  Favorite Quote:  I don't... I don't think you ever find someone... you don't resent. And that's part of it. It's just... find the person you *want* to resent, you know. Review:  This was a weird film. The opener had much promise, but as the film continued, it felt like it was just getting longer.  My biggest gripe with the film is that I liked each of the characters less as I got to know them. I understand that the film attempted to highlight the modern relationship for a specific generation, and in certain ways, it succeeded in doing so. However, the characters never grew or became better people from their relationships...they just...

I watched the video on a Subway platform while waiting for the Q Train.  I found myself learning more about what happened in Minnesota after a late night in the office, completely shut off from my phone, the news, radio...just one of those days. "What have we become?" was all I could manage to think. As the night has gone on, and I've immersed myself in coverage and learning more... I'm angry.  I'm sad.  I'm heartbroken for her son.  I'm frustrated with the constant politics being pushed.  I'm exhausted. I'm amazed that - once again - we all can watch the same clip of a horrific incident and come away with two different conclusions.

What is it about?  Three estranged daughters work through their own relationships and past in the final days of caring for their ailing father. Who is in it? Carrie Coon - Katie Natasha Lyonne - Rachel Elizabeth Olsen - Christina Favorite Scene:  [spoiler alert] Rachel's boyfriend confronts Katie after what feels like a cold relationship, including a moment in the film that breaks through the idea that things and people aren't as as it seems.   Favorite Quote:   Christina: Just because I don't complain doesn't mean I don't have issues. Review:  His Three Daughters blew me away. It really did.  The film features a plot that can be cliché, a familiar narrative of a disheveled family reuniting for a common goal, and ultimately, everything comes to a head. This film was that, except that it had much more depth and realism. The burden of caring for parents does come with various perspectives, feelings, and, of course, insight.  We witnessed this in th...
