I skipped the closing film at SXSW this year and instead attended the screening of Project Hail Mary. Honestly, I was skeptical at first—how could a story about one guy and a rock-like alien carry an entire movie without becoming boring or losing its heart? It seemed like the kind of idea that might look… Continue reading Project Hail Mary: humor, tension, and a surprising amount of warmth

Others who have not yet read the novel can enjoy the story/script of motherhood, forgiveness, and second chances, even if they are not already parents. The… Continue reading Reminders of Him – Romantic Drama is Touching Although Somewhat Predictable
