Okja Is a Masterfully Told Story Which Will Haunt You for Days

If you’ve seen one of Bong Joon Ho’s movies before—The Host or Snowpiercer, for example—then it shouldn’t be surprising at all to you that Okja is a mix of dead seriousness and bursts of farcical humor. It’s also a movie with a very complicated message, anchored by a tale about a beautiful girl and her…

Black-Market Brain Surgery Goes So Wrong (and Yet So Right) in Scifi Short Exchangers

Imagine if everyone came pre-programmed with one special talent. It would be amazingly awesome—unless, like the frustrated protagonist of scifi short Exchangers, your talent is totally useless.

Superhero TV season has come and gone, which means there’s yet another season under the belts of Supergirl, Flash, Arrow, and Legends of Tomorrow.

A Beachcomber Makes an Apocalyptic Blunder in This Beautifully Animated Short

Sholto Crow’s Martin is an imaginatively animated tale that pays tribute to the coastal resort town where he grew up. The filmmaker notes that it’s only “semi-autobiographical”—so you can rest assured that the thing with the giant, laser-blasting robots probably didn’t happen. [Short of the Week]

It’s official: Jurassic World 2 is now Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. But that’s not the most interesting thing about the first poster for the film, which was released this morning.
