All of a sudden, I forgot how to walk. His stare was sharp. I could bet my job he was dissecting me, but I couldn’t tell if he was proud of what was walking toward him or just disappointed. I couldn’t read his thoughts through those emotionless gray eyes of his. 

Directed by Chloe Domont, the film pieces corporate tension with intimate emotional conflict, crafting a slow-burn descent into toxicity that feels both uncomfortably real and dramatically compelling. It’s a movie that starts off with love, builds with ambition, and then breaks under the pressure of ego, insecurity and the shifting power dynamics between man and woman.

There are some movies that after deciding to watch them, you just don’t take them too seriously; just go along for the ride so you don’t end up frustrated and this movie is one of those movies. It is a high stakes thriller set almost entirely within the walls of a studio that runs late night radio programs and one of the renowned hosts' personalities is yunno, sorta tested.

I had completely forgotten that a fourth installment of Despicable Me had since been released until I came across it on my to-watch list today. Well, this one marks the return of Gru and his minions in a vibrant yet as most of us know chaotic installment that continues the franchise’s tradition of slapstick humor and family focused storytelling. It actually delivers on the expected laughs and visual gags but to be honest I got bored towards the ending as this sequel grapples with an overstuffed narrative.

Surprisingly, evil prevailed in this suspense filled thriller and I wasn’t even mad. To me it felt like justice being served to who did deserve it although innocent lives were lost. Directed by Nicholas Tomnay, this film is a psychological thriller. It explores envy, deception and the dangerous allure of luxury. The film also brings to light what happens when identity, morality and greed collide in a tightly confined world.

Although it took me nearly a week to finish this 675 page novel, I savored each page. It’s by far the most realistic novel I’ve ever read. Riley Sager spins a taut and atmospheric psychological thriller that explores the cost of desperation, the lure of luxury and the dark secrets that lie behind locked doors of wealthy people. People who yield power. Set in a glamorous but eerie Manhattan apartment building called the Bartholomew, this novel fuses classic Gothic elements with modern suspense, which makes it a compulsive read for lovers of twisty thrillers.
