Upstairs/downstairs: the microcosmic class conflict of Parasite

The world is divided into the rich and the poor, the haves and the have-nots, the upper class and the lower class. If you haven't seen the multiple Oscar-winning film Parasite, what's stopping you?
Bad luck in Lucky Day

Bad luck in Lucky Day

In Lucky Day, a guy named Red (Luke Bracey) gets out of jail after a two-year stint, reunites with his woman, an artist named Chloe (Nina Dobrev), and their daughter Beatrice (Ella Ryan Quinn), a young waif who is so adorable at such a young age that she decides to only speak French, much to Red’s chagrin.

Glass is strong but not 'unbreakable' and in more ways than one

Glass, the third in M. Night Shyamalan's Eastrail 177 Trilogy after Unbreakable and Split, is now out on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD and On Demand.

Green Book is the best picture to introduce 1960s interracial divisions to your family

Green Book is the best picture to introduce 1960s interracial divisions to your family

This year’s Best Picture Oscar winner is a real crowd-pleaser, even if it offers a mostly non-controversial, non-confrontational look at a real interracial friendship in America that started in the 1960s. It’s a complicated story if you delve into it – and it’s possibly an even more complicated story surrounding the movie – but the surface value still holds a lot of tender beauty.

The Blog that Would Not Die!

It’s the season of the witch ... so be nice to your local witch. They’re good people, and they can help in all kinds of sticky circumstances, such as an annual blog post that you feel obliged to produce yet have no creative thoughts about.

The Blog from Beyond the Grave
