We Live In Time
We Live In Time is one of the many emotionally devastating, grounded films that we get to enjoy this year. Though there have been notable films in more fantastical genres this year, the more reality-based movies seemed to have a rise in 2024. The everyday stories are what we seem to be focused on and that is going to make award season far more entertaining and difficult. That said, let's dive into the latest Andrew Garfield, and Florence Pugh film.

1923 Season 2 Release Date Confirmed
1923 season 2's release date has been announced. The Paramount+ series, which is a sequel to 1883 and stars Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren, is a precursor to Yellowstone by franchise creator Taylor Sheridan. The Dutton family is the focus of the novel, which takes place in the year of the title, which was marked by the Great Depression, Prohibition, and the Western Expansion. Although it swiftly set Paramount+ records and led to a renewal, the impact of the writers' and performers' strikes has caused a delay in the release of 1923 season 2.

Dune Prophecy
“Born twice, once in agony, once in spice” this is the piece of the prophecy that we have heard for 3 episodes now. It refers to the key to what we have been calling “the reckoning”. Valya thinks the prophecy is talking about Desmond, but I (and Tula) think it's Lila. Now it being Desmond would imply that he is the one that starts the reckoning whereas it being Lila implies that she would be the one to stop it. So that is one question that needs to be answered before the end of the series. Let’s jump into episode 4.

Brokedown Palace is a Warning Film
Americans talk a lot of bunk. We accept that in our pride of the Constitutional right to "Freedom of Speech". Many Americans have barked the emotionally packed threat of "I'll just leave the country," when the problems in our nation seem too overwhelming or when an American is talking the bunk of a spoiled brat. Americans know that Americans are not "perfect" and neither is our "justice system" but Patriots do the best they can to uphold what we have and keep going. I say all of this before I get into the details of this movie review because this movie (Brokedown Palace) is the reason I am a liar if I say "I want to leave the country." I do not want to leave my country, and mostly it's because as messed up as my country is regarding "liberty and justice for all" this film depicts how it may be much, much worse in other countries.

Invincible Season 3 Everything We Know
The third season of the animated superhero series Invincible is expected to build on the popularity of the past two seasons. The show, which is based on Robert Kirkman's comic series of the same name, centers on Steven Yeun's character, Mark Grayson, a normal teenager who lives under the shadow of his superhero father until he starts to gain abilities at the age of 17 and learns about his father's sinister past. As comic book movies and franchises get more introspective, Kirkman's Invincible comics, which offer a sophisticated and nuanced look at superheroes, were the ideal material for an original series.
