"As usual, Trump is playing his victor-as-victim card. We’re used to hearing protectionist cries from smaller countries protesting America’s cinematic hegemony – not the other way around," writes film critic and author Tom Shone.

Another Simple Favor is goofier and way more over-the-top than the first movie, to its detriment, but still an entertaining, glossy comedy centering two codependent female characters who are at this point equally unhinged. And, once again, Emily Nelson is styled to the nines. Now on Prime Video.

Another Simple Favor, the straight-to-Prime sequel to the 2018 hit thriller, trades the irreverent black humor of the original for a tone that's even darker &, at times, too morally queasy for the viewer to stomach. The costumes still go hard though. My twists-&-all review: slate.com/culture/2025...

Throughly enjoyed THE UGLY STEPSISTER! A grim dark reimagining of CINDERELLA that adds some pretty great body horror elements and tragedy into the mix amid the chaos. Reminded me a lot of Andy Warhol’s DRACULA/FRANKENSTEIN. A good time! Go see it now in theaters!
