What is it? Two old college friends cross paths as adults and beat the ever-loving crap out of each other.
Why see it? Onur Tukel’s latest is also his best thanks in part to the lead performances by Sandra Oh and Anne Heche. They do a good job of manipulating our sympathies and concerns ensuring that our loyalties shift from act to act. Themes of female friendships, class distinctions, and redemption run through alongside a satirical look at modern life, and there’s a terrifically wicked streak throughout. Funny, smart, and brutal are all apt descriptors for this cynical look at our violent selves.

What a time to be alive.
While most die-hard Harry Potter fans merely reread the series and/or regularly binge-watch its film adaptations (no judgments here!), sisters Isabel Beltran and Ximena Larkin transformed their passion for the subject into a buzzy yoga class at an Austin, Texas brewery.
Thanks to Beltran, who’s a certified yoga instructor, and Beltran’s boyfriend — co-founder of the brewery, Circle Brewing Co. — Larkin and her sister brought the magical idea to life, inviting local Muggles to attend the class on Oct. 30.

And now his watch has ended. Rip, Shaggydog.
In "Game of Thrones" Season 6, Episode 3, "Oathbreaker," Jon Snow quit the post he took an oath to keep for life, saying his watch as Lord Commander had ended. Because Jon Snow is dead. So who is he now? It's a loaded question. It's a very important question. And it's a question that only just started to be addressed in this big bad tease of an episode.
Jon kept the job just long enough to see the people who stabbed him to death be hanged to death, with little hope of being resurrected. (Pause for an unpopular opinion: Olly was a traitor for helping to kill Jon, but the wildlings killed his entire family and it's understandable that he felt betrayed by Jon supporting them. Olly, I get you. Everyone else can go ahead and get mad.)

★★★★☆ The Years of Lead was a period ranging from the late 1960s to the early 80s in which Italy existed in a state of civil unrest and suffered a surge in terrorism from both left and right-wing groups. This social turmoil provided fertile ground for filmmakers such as Francesco Rosi, who were willing to challenge the world around them with their art. He once explained that he was not making a study of the characters in his films, but of the society they inhabited. This position had perhaps shifted slightly by 1981's Three Brothers, but it gives interesting context when examining this beautifully shot film of sublime grace, underwritten by an exploration of the tumultuous social landscape.
