Is Emilia Pérez A True Story?. AI-Generated.
Emilia Pérez, an Oscar-contender and crime comedy musical on Netflix, has been the subject of speculation regarding its authenticity. The genre-bending movie, which was directed by French director Jacques Audiard (Rust and Bone, The Sisters Brothers), has inventive dance and musical numbers along with an intense narrative about regret and unmet desire. Despite criticism for misrepresenting transgender realities and using trans narrative tropes, the film is France's official submission for Best International Feature at the 97th Academy Awards, which will take place on March 2, 2025.

The Imperative for Diversity in AI Decision-Making
In the fast-paced world of artificial intelligence (AI), diversity is not just desirable — it’s critical, especially at the highest levels of decision-making. AI technology influences every aspect of modern life, from economic systems to personal privacy. However, a lack of diversity among AI decision-makers risks creating technologies that reinforce biases, overlook the needs of marginalized communities, and uphold the status quo of inequity.

The Next 365 Days Ending Explained. Content Warning.
The Next 365 Days' conclusion has drawn even more attention than those of its predecessors because it concluded Netflix's contentious 365 Days trilogy. The trilogy is not at all predictable, despite the fact that the 365 Days films are unquestionably rife with clichés. Ironically, the most unexpected aspect of The Next 365 Days' conclusion is that it is the most grounded episode to date.

Act I of Arcane: League of Legends Season 2. AI-Generated.
Because of how fantastic the first season was, Arcane season two was one of my most anticipated TV series of 2024. I was eager to see how these producers would wrap up the plot, even though I was as disappointed as everybody to learn that Arcane season 2 would be the final one. The return of Arcane's cast in season 2, Act I, kicks up a three-part plot that carries on everything I enjoyed about the program in the first place: amazing animation, big battle scenes, likable characters, a stellar voice cast, and scathing societal satire.

Aronofsky's "The Whale" touches me personally with parallel lines
In 2022, I went to the theater with my son to see a new movie from Darren Aronofsky: The Whale. Though I was familiar with other films from Aronofsky, and I was a fan of both Brendan Fraser and Sadie Sink, I hadn't seen any trailers so I had no idea what the movie was going to be about. I really don't care what Rotten Tomatoes score it has or how much money it made, but I am happy that it did get Fraser an Oscar award, and won some other award acknowledgements. The movie was adapted from the play (of the same name) written by Samuel D. Hunter. The movie is available to watch at home, so I rewatched it again today in November 2024.
