 by Christina Official summary: BuzzFeed Unsolved follows Ryan Bergara and co-host Shane Madej, who discuss unsolved crimes, haunted places, demonic possessions, and historical occurrences that defy explanation, presenting them and the theories that surround them in a dark, yet comedic manner. ALNM rec: I've developed more of an affection for podcasts and online series lately, and this is one of my favorites. The cases, both true crime and supernatural themed, are truly interesting and the banter between Ryan and Shane often leave me wheezing. Episodes are typically under half an hour long, making them perfect for your lunch break or while you're getting ready in the morning. But I wouldn't recommend watching too many later at night.  by Christina Castle Rock Air Dates: August 15, 2018 Channel: Hulu Henry's son visits from Boston; a funeral stirs up unsettling memories.  by Christina ALNM Rating: 5/5
Directed by: Jon M. Chu Starring: Constance Wu, Henry Golding, Gemma Chan, Awkwafina, Lisa Lu, Ken Jeong, Michelle Yeoh Rating: PG-13 Available to watch: In theaters now Review: If you haven't heard of Crazy Rich Asians by now along with a million think pieces about the film's important to Asian representation in film and society as a whole, you've probably been living under a rock. Seeing an entirely Asian cast did make my heart clench with joy, as it is such a rare occurrence for me to be able to watch something where there isn't just one token Asian nerd. These are fully fleshed out characters with a wide range of personalities, goals, and world views. Beyond all of this, Crazy Rich Asians is just a flat out good romantic comedy. Awkwafina steals every scene she's in with her unique wit, and Gemma Chan was a standout with her strong will and effortless grace. Constance Wu is a charming lead and Henry Golding is everything a girl wants in a leading man. Michelle Yeoh also brings the star power, filling the screen with strength and attitude whenever she appears. The film itself is visually captivating and well worth seeing on the big screen. This isn't any sort of niche film. It is a Hollywood blockbuster for everyone to enjoy, and that makes it even more important to the Asian community. Definitely see this when you get the chance. |
