Westworld is continuing to slowly reveal itself like the sweet, complicated sci-fi lady that it is. Last week in the premiere episode, HBO decided to go with a slow burn and just open the door a little bit to let us peek in and see what this world may have to offer. This week with “Chestnut,” they didn’t swing the door open, but they did open it a bit more and made us realize there is seriously so much going on here....

This week’s Westworld definitely helped explain a lot of what has been going on over the last handful of weeks. It also kind of changed the scope of what the show is and what it can be moving forward, which could clue us in as to what season 3 may look like, even though we’ve still got a few weeks left before this season wraps up. Let’s dig in, shall we?...

Sadly, 2014’s Big Hero 6 went vastly underrated compared to Disney’s Frozen, which premiered the year before.

Big Hero 6 is a story of friendship in a way Disney films not always are....

Skinamarink is a horror feature film that was picked up by Shudder last year.

Wes Anderson, iconic and unique among directors today, is not known for being explicit with emotion in his movies. The dialogue is often understated and deadpan; the acting can feel overly strict or confined, and the effect can come off as too rigid - but this is deliberate, and has a purpose. Anderson himself grew up in a wealthier family, and the practice of putting up a wall of social routines between people in life, especially in certain cultural circles, is something he reflects upon, often with his films....
