Ambush (2023) Film Review
Ambush, directed by Mark Burman, attempts to bring one of the most contentious periods in American history, the Vietnam War, to mainstream entertainment. Despite several attempts to make the war the subject of action films, such as Missing in Action, The Last Hunter, and Siege of Firebase Gloria, the Vietnam War has remained resistant to such efforts, and Ambush seems unlikely to change that.

'We Have a Ghost'- Movie Review
Christopher Landon is known for his unique horror films that stand out from the typical cynicism of the genre. He sidesteps the trend of “elevated horror” by infusing his films with an infectious sense of joy, exemplified in movies like “Happy Death Day,” "Happy Death Day 2U," and “Freaky.” Regardless of one's opinion on their execution or overall quality, there's no denying that Landon has a blast while making them. His latest offering, “We Have a Ghost,” shines when Landon is allowed to let loose and be playful, eliciting smiles from the viewers. However, while his directing is on point, the writing falls short, resulting in a movie that drags on for too long with multiple endings and recurring themes that fail to build upon the film's promising ideas. Overall, it's a decent distraction on Netflix, but one can only hope for Landon to create a third installment of “Happy Death Day” before revisiting this world.

'A Radiant Girl'- Movie Review
In his poem "Musee des Beaux Arts," W.H. Auden utilized a Brueghel painting depicting Icarus' fall from the sky to convey an important lesson about tragedy. He notes that "it takes place/While someone else is eating or opening a window or just walking dully along," emphasizing how the biggest, most catastrophic events often go unnoticed by those living their daily lives. Charlotte Wells' impressive directorial debut, "Aftersun," and now "A Radiant Girl," also embrace this idea by focusing on the small, yet crucial moments that are often overlooked in the grand scheme of things.

'Luther: The Fallen Sun'- Movie Review
The British actor Idris Elba, who recently ruled out playing 007, reprises his role as Detective Chief Inspector John Luther in "Luther: The Fallen Sun," a continuation of the BBC crime drama. The feature-length movie, which is currently showing in cinemas and will be available for streaming on Netflix from March 10, allows Elba to redirect the online frenzy of his fan-casting for James Bond to his established role as Luther.

Review of 'The Fall of Númenor'
J.R.R. Tolkien’s writings on the Second Age of Middle-earth, collected for the first time in one volume complete with new illustrations in watercolor and pencil by renowned artist Alan Lee. J.R.R. Tolkien famously described the Second Age of Middle-earth as a "dark age, and not very much of its history is (or need be) told." And for many years readers would need to be content with the tantalizing glimpses of it found within the pages of The Lord of the Rings and its appendices, including the forging of the Rings of Power, the building of the Barad-dûr and the rise of Sauron. It was not until Christopher Tolkien published The Silmarillion after his father’s death that a fuller story could be told. Although much of the book’s content concerned the First Age of Middle-earth, there were at its close two key works that revealed the tumultuous events concerning the rise and fall of the island of Númenor. Raised out of the Great Sea and gifted to the Men of Middle-earth as a reward for aiding the angelic Valar and the Elves in the defeat and capture of the Dark Lord Morgoth, the kingdom became a seat of influence and wealth; but as the Númenóreans’ power increased, the seed of their downfall would inevitably be sown, culminating in the Last Alliance of Elves and Men. Even greater insight into the Second Age would be revealed in subsequent publications, first in Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth, then expanded upon in Christopher Tolkien’s magisterial twelve-volume The History of Middle-earth, in which he presented and discussed a wealth of further tales written by his father, many in draft form. Now, adhering to the timeline of "The Tale of Years" in the appendices to The Lord of the Rings, editor Brian Sibley has assembled into one comprehensive volume a new chronicle of the Second Age of Middle-earth, told substantially in the words of Tolkien from the various published texts, with new illustrations in watercolor and pencil by the doyen of Tolkien art, Alan Lee.
