The Shameless Exploits of The Suicide Squad
Not falling for that shit again, so I had thought when I heard Warner Bros. were making another Suicide Squad movie. It was 2016 and my love of directorial autonomy and indie films did not in the bit diminish my love of the big-budget hero-franchises that dominated both then and now. I didn’t think Batman v. Superman was amazing but not terrible, and I enjoyed most of those MCU films, with few exceptions. At the very least, even if I didn’t think a film had much objective quality, I thought they could entertain me for the better part of a couple hours. And as for Suicide Squad, I’d had much faith in David Ayer, its director who had shown a love of genre filmmaking with both Fury and End of Watch, and he had promised it to be a comic-book rendition of The Dirty Dozen, a film I had seen and loved the preceding summer.

Olivia De Havilland and the Breaking of the Studio System of Indentured Servitude
Clarke Gable made a Golden Age of Hollywood career as a tough guy in a t-shirt. His carefully cultivated masculine aggressiveness on display to slap around everyone from Vivian Leigh to Joan Crawford, he reaped the rewards all the way down the boulevard. On the other hand, being typecast was a fact of life that even the biggest stars had to resign themselves to. "I have never been consulted as to what part I would like to play. I am not paid to think,” he once bitterly told Photoplay. On the other hand, did we really want to see “the King” weeping like Nick Nolte in Prince of Tides? Maybe but either way, this was the studio system, and it took two courageous actresses to actually hang a pair or two on the system of slavery that kept stars in both a professional and personal box during the studio era.

The Animal Within: Michael Pearce's Beast
The idea of being purely and wholly civilized is sheer myth. We’re all just varying degrees of monstrosity, and finding our people and partners is about finding those with just the right concoction of damage and malintent to match your own. In a time of distress and utter confusion in my personal life, I return to the movies. Something about the title and description of Beast led me to believe it to be something of a humanist film. That assumption was correct, but certainly not in the manner I wanted it to be.

The Young and the Restless: Mariah’s and Tessa are more than trophy wives
The Young and the Restless continues to sideline Mariah and Tessa Mariah Copeland ( Cameron Grimes) has not been involved in a meaty storyline since The Young and the Restless gave her a miracle cure. Viewers were expecting so much more when she was dealing with postpartum depression and separation anxiety over her Bowie. Tessa Porter’s portrayer Cait Fairbank was placed on recurring status so there’s only so much mileage that can be expected from her character.
