The Fall of the DC Extended Universe
I was waking up a bit late last week when I practiced my usual routine for the morning consisting of brushing my teeth, showering and all the cliche hygienic details. I had checked Twitter on my phone, as I usually do, when I happened to see that Henry Cavill was the top trending topic that hour. For those of you not in the know these days, Cavill is currently the actor playing the iconic Man of Steel in the most recent DC films you’ve seen. I couldn’t of possibly guessed what Cavill was trending for exactly at the time, but I definitely knew it was for something Superman-related.

'Private Life' – Now Streaming on Netflix
Private Life is so raw and real you almost feel like you’re eavesdropping but just can’t turn away. The new film from Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Tamara Jenkins (The Savages, Slums of Beverly Hills), is the filmmaker’s first movie in over a decade, since her 2007, Oscar-nominated sibling dramedy The Savages. Private Life is a sometimes funny and moving story of Richard (Academy Award-nominee Paul Giamatti) and Rachel (Kathryn Hahn), a couple in the throes of infertility who try to maintain their marriage as they descend deeper and deeper into the insular world of assisted reproduction and domestic adoption. After the emotional and economic upheaval of invitro- fertilization (IVF), they’re at the end of their middle-aged rope, but when Sadie (breakout newcomer Kayli Carter), a recent college drop out, re-enters their life, things begin to look up.

Best Indie Superhero Movies
For the past several years, the market has been absolutely saturated with superhero films exploring the four superhero cinematic universes, and especially favoring the Marvel and DC Comics. With Marvel's ever-growing Cinematic Universe and DC's multiple attempts to make a Superman film that doesn't suck, it's easy for today's moviegoer to develop superhero fatigue. However, instead of giving up on superhero films entirely, I recommend you look into some indie superhero movies. While some of these films are actually from independent filmmakers, I think any film that avoids the over-produced Marvel/DC aesthetic counts as indie when it comes to superheroes.
