The new year started with the exciting news that actor-phenom Timothée Chalamet will play folk icon Bob Dylan in a biopic directed by James Mangold. The film supposedly will focus on Dylan’s transition from folk to rock music.

I will be the first to admit that I have not seen the most movies about journalism, especially ones made before the 21st century. However, it is without doubt one of my favorite genres to watch, especially when done well. Well-crafted dialogue, a sharp attention to detail and charming characters are hallmarks of the genre.

In this World War I epic, Dean-Charles Chapman plays Lance Corporal Blake, who is motivated to reach his brother, a member of the second battalion that Blake must warn of an ambush. Chapman is a young actor, most recognizable from his role as Tommen Baratheon in “Game of Thrones.” Alongside Blake is his comrade Lance Corporal Schofield played by George MacKay, who gained fame from his role as Bo in “Captain Fantastic.”

The skills to thrive in digital are changing, what sort of people do we need to thrive?

The 2020 Oscar nominations were announced yesterday. All in all, I do not have too many qualms with the academy’s choices. My issue comes more so with the fact that the Oscars were moved up nearly a month, and the lack of consideration for movies to release before the Fall. Of the nine films nominated for best picture, only Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” opened before September.

It’s been six years since the hit show breaking bad concluded. Many regard the finale as one of best of all time, myself included. However, for as good as it was, there was always one questions lingering: What happened to Jesse? The final time we see him in the finale he is busting through the fence of the Nazi compound in Todd’s El Camino, as a battered, broken man.

This is it, the final chapter in a franchise that has spanned five decades. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker will be the third epsiode in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, and the ninth and final episode in the “Skywalker Saga.” J.J. Abrams will once again be directing the film. He directed Episode 7, the first in the sequel trilogy. Abrams took a hiatus leaving Rian Johnson to direct Episode 8. Many were disappointed by Johnson’s effort, saying that there was a disconnect between the first two films. Abrams will surely have his work cut out for him in wrapping up countless story lines in a satisfactory manner. Though, if anyone can do it, it’s him.

“The Platform” is not for everyone. Cannibalism, brutal violence, and downright depravity may be tough for some to stomach. Luckily, for those intrigued enough to give it a chance, it is available on Netflix now. By the looks of it, people have been curious as it has floated around the top 10 streams for the past week.

What do you get when you cross the “Good Place” with “Black Mirror?” The answer: Greg Daniels’s newest comedy series “Upload.” While you may not be familiar with his name, his work is a different story. Daniels started writing in the early nineties for “The Simpsons” and “King of the Hill.” He then adapted “The Office” for American audiences—the show Netflix subscribers around the world are praying does not get removed. Daniel later went on to start the “Parks and Recreation,” led by Amy Poehler as an overly optimistic small-town politician. The show includes a stellar ensemble cast and made Chris Pratt a household name before the blockbusters.
