Puppet cinema is BACK baby

Project Hail Mary is a great alien buddy-comedy stuck orbiting a novel It's no miracle that Project Hail Mary lands its alien buddy comedy, but it is impressive that it feels personal despite its grand scope.

I sure do like the buddy comedy hiding out in the bulk of Project Hail Mary www.avclub.com/project-hail...

It’s crazy!!

Protector breaks through the glass ceiling of bloodthirsty Taken knock-offs Sleazy and cheap, the fearmongering get-your-kid-back action film Protector at least stars Milla Jovovich as the killer parent.

I dig into the nightmare-fantasies of Takenlikes in my review of Protector: www.avclub.com/protector-re...

What’s up with conservatives and human trafficking? Perhaps it’s a trickle-down terror derived from conspiracies of an international Epsteinian cabal composed of left-center elites. Perhaps it’s just a convenient crime to pin on suspicious foreigners. Or maybe it’s simply the most evil thing they can imagine, the scariest thing for men who identify as Fathers Of Daughters, the thing that would drive them most quickly to violence. What separates Protector from the QAnon-drenched Sound Of Freedom or the film’s obvious inspiration, Taken, is that it’s not a father, but a Mother Of A Daughter, who unleashes her particular set of skills upon masses of nefarious henchmen. The other main difference is that the lead isn’t played by an otherwise unemployable nut or a graying star slumming it in the genre world. Instead, it’s Milla Jovovich who snarls, stabs, and dual-wields her way through this grim copy of a copy, breaking the glass ceiling of who can star in one of these bloodthirsty parental nightmare-fantasies.

The conservative fear of a girl going out One Time will power an entire subgenre for decades to come

Is it girl power to have a woman lead the reactionary action movie scared to absolute death of foreigners, cartels, and human traffickers

Russian propaganda starts young in the slight but moving Mr. Nobody Against Putin Mr. Nobody Against Putin rebels against the propaganda in Russian schools from the inside, even if its frame narrative isn't as compelling.

Americans might see a lot more to relate to in Mr. Nobody Against Putin - the Oscar-nominated, smuggled-out-of-Russia doc about war propaganda making its way into elementary schools - than they'd expect www.avclub.com/mr-nobody-ag...

Mr. Nobody Against Putin will resonate with everyone bravely filming the ways fascism has filtered into daily life, no matter where they are
