Time Hoppers: The Silk Road
(2025)
|
Alan Ng
|
The bottom line is that it’s a fine story for parents and children of Middle Eastern and Muslim backgrounds to find themselves immersed in a new story that feels very familiar.

Perfect

Bad films you forget almost instantly. Good ones, like this, you return to as you sit in your mind palace, contemplating great stories. If you enjoy romance, even LGBT romance, seek it out. It’s a good love story.

Scared to Death
(2024)
|
Kent Hill

Scared to Death is made better because it is both meta and a milkshake of staple genre ingredients that, when you list them, you think, “These shouldn’t taste as good as they do,” but they do.
