It’s a pleasure to watch the reunited Ocean’s series co-stars work together again. Admittedly, the two screen legends are more fun when they are at each other’s throats early on in Ticket to Paradise than later when they are cuddled closer together by rekindled circumstances. You root for the competitive one-upmanship more than the softening comeuppance their characters have coming. For a while, there is a sizzling and infectious comedic burn to their verbal clashes and invasions of personal space that wane with time. Who knew getting nicer would sap a little of the enjoyment?

MOVIE REVIEW: Till

Till is a heartbreaking and meaningful film presented almost entirely through a mother’s point of view. Any mother of any background will tell you that one of, if not, the most ever-present emotions is worry. Debilitating considerations and worst case scenarios often percolate and betray otherwise happy thoughts and sweet moments. All too often, it’s a mental gear that cannot be easily turned off. One of those flustering pauses begins the film and an agonizing tone for Till is set right away.

What Can the Stories of Resistance During WWII Teach Us Today?

In 1963 political thinker Hannah Arendt coined the term “Banality of Evil” to describe how evil can flourish when good people “do their job” or “follow orders” and others simply look away. Today, almost 80 years since the end of World War II, interest in the subject is as great as ever, both among scholars and in the world of literature and film-making.

by Lewis Robinson

Some folks would describe the 2022 movie Dog as a comedy with an awfully big heart. It speaks to enormous themes, as comedies often do, by laughing when there is room to laugh. Even though Dog sees its audience heading to a funeral, its characters do all they can to lighten the mood along the way. Channing Tatum shines as a character who spends a lot of the movie growing up.
