The first half of ‘Warfare’ is dull but also tense; the second half is a nightmare of bullets, blood, smoke, and men screaming. Countless movies have told us that war is hell, in a variety of ways. But none of them have been as realistic, almost photorealistic, as ‘Warfare.’ It’s a modern masterpiece of terse, tight, macho filmmaking, and possibly the most true-life war film ever made.

‘Drop’ is a nasty little exploitation picture in disguise as a fun, snarky modern puzzlebox thriller. Its real reason for existence is to show women in various stages of physical distress. Women get clubbed over the head in this movie, thrown down the stairs, shot, stabbed, and casually tossed all over the kitchen like Nerf objects. Some men come to harm, too, but it’s mostly women.

“Don’t buy Tesla! Don’t buy Tesla!” protesters were chanting in front of the brand’s showroom in my neighborhood in the northwest of Austin, Texas, at 10:30 on a Saturday morning. The anti-Tesla resistance – “nonviolence division” – was making a stand in the city where the company has its headquarters. Somewhere between 100 and 200 people waved US flags and carried signs. “Elon: You’re Fired,” read one of them. “Deport Nazi Musk,” said another.

Whatever criticisms people might have of the ‘White Lotus‘ Season 3 finale–and a lot of people have a lot of criticisms–you can’t deny that here was a successful season of episodic TV, full of compelling characters, funny dialogue, and outrageous incidents, told from the singular creative point of view. That’s something that, while not incredibly common, was still common enough during the Golden Age of TV (approximately 2000-2020, give or take a few years).

As someone who’s appeared on several game shows, the new movie The Luckiest Man in America should have truly spoken to me. I know how important game shows are in perpetuating get-rich-quick mythologies. The only reason I own a house is because I won money on Jeopardy! Most people who appear on game shows win little or nothing. But there are enough instances of quick game-show appearances that elevate ordinary people to a new income level to keep the dream alive.
