Let the Right One In (prod. Andrew Hinderaker).
Showtime’s television adaptation of the Swedish vampire horror novel and film adaptation of the same name (and American remake Let Me In) turns the horror art film into a more conventional New York City-set crime procedural with added characters and subplots.
Demián Bichir stars as the father and protector of a child vampire (a stark change from the original book and films) who must protect his daughter from the horrific realities of living undead and feeding on human blood while trying to uncover a greater conspiracy around some suspicious vampire-related murders and drug dealings. While it kind of waters down and makes many of the source material’s artistic flourishes more conventional, it proves to be a captivating episodic watch with compelling character motivations.

I SAW THE TV GLOW Highly-praised horror drama from A24 - trailer, release date and review links
I Saw the TV Glow is a 2024 horror drama film about a suburban teen introduced to a mysterious late-night TV show – a vision of a supernatural world within their own. When the show is strangely cancelled, time and reality begin to blur. The movie was written and directed by Jane Schoenbrun (We’re All Going to the World’s Fair) and produced by Ali Herting, Sam Intili, Dave McCary, Emma Stone and…

"Exhibiting Forgiveness"
I truly wanted to have an emotional connection with writer / director Titus Kaphar’s “Exhibiting Forgiveness,” but almost everything about Kaphar’s film felt hollow, contrived, and manipulative to me. This story about the healing power of art is too calculated and packed with so much forced symbolism that it becomes more tiring rather than effective. After an unexpected visit from his estranged,…

it always brings a smile to my face, remembering the first ever title drop on doctor who. it became a tradition for our titular character to introduce himself as the doctor and then have someone else understandably ask “¿doctor who?”. but no, the first time was susan mentioning that he was a doctor before anyone ever met him. then, since susan is his granddaughter and her last name is foreman, ian called him “doctor foreman”, leading this centuries-old mf who apparently doesn’t understand human naming conventions for a society he’s been presumably hiding out in for months to be the first ever character on the show to say the words out loud: doctor who

look people who've been around here for a while know exactly how i feel about the early doctor who serial edge of destruction but i rewatched it recently and i have feelings
so edge of destruction is the third ever serial of doctor who, right? it's an unearthly child, the daleks, then edge of destruction. and it's also kind of a bottle episode. edge of destruction is a two-parter, and is set entirely on the tardis featuring only the main cast
the plot is weird. everyone wakes up in the tardis with confusion and memory loss, not knowing what's going on. the tardis isn't safe, and strange things are happening. the ship seems to be malfunctioning, but there's nothing notably wrong with it. everyone's freaking out and accusing each other of sabotaging the tardis or hurting each other
now, as i said, this is early doctor who. companions barbara and ian had been kidnapped by the doctor and susan so they don't tell anyone that time travel is real, and at this point they don't trust the doctor and the doctor doesn't trust them. the doctor immediately starts accusing barbara and ian of sabotaging the ship to force him to take them home, which they angrily refute. they've spent the last two stories saving the doctor and susan from whatever's trying to kill them
barbara has a speech here which is brilliant and i can quote verbatim. 'do you realise, you stupid old man, that you'd have died in the cave of skulls if ian hadn't made fire for you? and what about what we went through against the daleks? not just for us, but for you and susan too. and all because you tricked us into going down to the city. accuse us? you ought to go down on your hands and knees and thank us! but gratitude's the last thing you'll ever have, or any sort of common sense either'
and the doctor spends the whole two episodes either accusing ian and barbara of being evil or being wholly unhelpful. (he straight up drugs everyone with a sedative at one point!) yeah, turns out the tardis is trying to tell them what's wrong via cryptic clues, and barbara's putting the pieces together. and the doctor still doesn't listen to her! she's so close to figuring it out and saving them all - they're all gonna die in about ten minutes and the doctor's basically given up, but barbara's trying to solve the problem
and in the end, they have the eureka moment and get out of trouble, but barbara's still understandably pissed. that is, until the doctor takes the time to apologise to her and tell her that yeah, she was right and he's sorry he didn't listen to her and he's going to do better to respect her opinions in future. they go into the next serial as friends, a first for the series to that point
so why do i love this weird little two-parter so much? because it is the moral centre of modern doctor who. this is the start of the characterisation of the doctor that we know and love. before this, the doctor is ruthless! he tries to kill a guy with a rock! he sabotages the tardis to satisfy his curiosity and lands everyone in danger from the daleks! he drugs them just because he doesn't trust them! he thinks he's smarter, better, and more important than the people he travels with
but then barbara stands up to him. she tells him that, no, she and ian are important too. and no, they're worth listening to. and yes, they can help and are worth something. and that's important, because barbara and ian are way more compassionate than the doctor is at this point. they want to help people they come across even if it means putting their own lives in danger.
sound familiar? yeah, the doctor's whole thing of helping everyone they come across and compassion towards everyone starts here. this is one of the most enduring things about the doctor and it would never have happened without barbara telling the doctor he's full of shit
and it's all because he listened to an ordinary woman

Last night I finally finished all the Classic Companions in my Doctor Who series. Decided to put them all together to see how they looked, and I rather like it! A future poster, maybe?
(Before anyone asks about Liz, she's on the as-yet-unfinished UNIT poster. I haven't forgotten her. Please, I've had so many people ask me about Liz)

if there is one thing I really want to thank Chris Chibnall for it is the companion support group
seriously, if the BBC wants to film a series of short webisodes featuring whichever former companions that are willing to come back,I would happily watch all of them

Ian Chesterton appreciation post
Ian is one of my favorite companions of the Classic Who era, and probably my favorite from the First Doctor era. Often taking the "action guy" role in many stories, he was not only fiercely protective of his companions, but also sought to help others in need. He was physically tough and brave, taking on many of the series' strongest enemies (most likely having some military training in his background), but also showed a fatherly gentleness and warmth towards Susan and Vicki, a close affection with Barbara, and witty banter with the Doctor. I'm so glad that his character is able to get more growth in the Big Finish audio dramas.
