All Forms of Art

  With Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal ( The Walking Dead ) as protagonists,  His and Hers  is the new Netflix thriller, and it may surprise you.  It succeeds at something many thrillers fail to do: it holds its suspense until the very last minute.  The mystery isn’t just about who committed the crime, but why —and that distinction makes all the difference. The reveal feels carefully earned, and the secret at the heart of the story is genuinely shocking. Not a Light Watch Despite what one might expect, this is not an easy or casual watch. The show is dark, disturbing, and emotionally heavy.  It slowly pulls the viewer into an increasingly uncomfortable space, and by the end, it’s impossible to walk away unaffected. This is the kind of series that lingers with you long after the credits roll. The Birthday Scene The ending is horrifying, but one moment stands out above all others: the birthday scene. A bully can be cruel—but a friend? On her birthday...

  Accepted (2006) follows Bartleby Gaines (Justin Long), a high school graduate who gets rejected by every college he applies to. To avoid disappointing his parents, he invents a fake university with the help of his friend Sherman (Jonah Hill, from Don't Look Up ) and pretends he has been accepted.  Things quickly spiral out of control when other rejected students join him, turning the lie into an improvised alternative college experience. What starts as a simple teen comedy slowly becomes something more reflective—without ever losing its light and playful tone. Easy Entertainment for a Sunday Afternoon This is a movie made for a relaxed Sunday watch. It doesn’t demand your full attention or emotional investment. There’s a bit of romance, a bit of laughter, and occasionally a bit of annoyance due to exaggerated characters and predictable jokes.  Still, its charm lies in its simplicity. It knows what it is and doesn’t try to be more serious than necessary. A Gentl...

  The Summer I Turned Pretty is a coming-of-age teen drama based on the book series by Jenny Han . The story follows Belly Conklin (Lola Tung), a teenage girl who spends every summer at a beach house with her family and the Fisher brothers, Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah(Gavin Casalegno - Walker ).  One particular summer marks a turning point: Belly is no longer “just a kid,” and her relationships, feelings, and sense of self begin to shift in ways that are both exciting and painful. At its core, the show explores first love, family dynamics, friendship, grief, and the bittersweet transition from childhood into adolescence. It’s a story about the summers that shape who we become—and the emotional messiness that comes with growing up. A Refreshing Take on Teen Romance One of  The Summer I Turned Pretty's biggest strengths  is how well it fits its genre while still feeling refreshing. The show is romantic and sweet without relying on shock value. Unlike ...

  Evil Influencer: The Jodi Hildebrandt Story is, unfortunately, a very good documentary about something deeply disturbing. I found it far more effective than the episodic documentaries Netflix has been making lately.  It doesn’t rely on false suspense, ominous music, or artificial cliffhangers to create an “atmosphere.” That restraint matters. When the subject is this horrific, manufacturing tension feels almost disrespectful. The story is already twisted and sickening enough. The documentary lays out the facts clearly and lets the reality speak for itself. What emerges is not just a scandal or a crime story, but a deeply unsettling portrait of power, control, and moral collapse. Manipulation as a Weapon One of the most frightening aspects of this case is the manipulation. Jodi Hildebrandt deliberately targeted vulnerable people and exploited them. When you understand someone’s context—emotional wounds, fears, beliefs—it becomes disturbingly easy to manipulate them. ...

  Netflix’s Run Away , the 2026 miniseries adapted from Harlan Coben ’s novel, delivers a gripping mystery without unnecessary complications.  It’s dark, emotional, and engaging—yet never pretentious or overly convoluted. A Familiar Twist, Executed Brilliantly At the heart of the story lies a classic mystery trope: the one you least expect did it .  While this idea is far from new, Run Away handles it so well that it still manages to surprise. Even when a subtle hint points toward the truth, the show skillfully nudges you into imagining an entirely different outcome. It’s proof that strong execution can elevate even the most familiar narrative devices. Intriguing but Easy to Follow The series is undeniably intriguing, but what stands out is how accessible it remains. There’s no attempt to be overly clever or intellectually showy.  The plot unfolds smoothly, making it easy to follow while still maintaining suspense and curiosity. Two Cases, One Missing Piece The ...
