My grocery store has been undergoing a lot of changes recently and I don’t like it! They’re moving everything around on me. The juice is where the cereal should be. The greeting cards are where the electronics were. The trash bags – well, I still can’t find them! Change is really annoying. Why can’t we just keep things the way they were, forever and ever amen?

Director Gina Prince-bythewood knows how to make satisfying crowdpleasers. That’s a much more difficult task than it may sound on paper. How many times have you watched a romantic drama that just laid there inert or just stared emotionless at the screen during a hollow action movie? By contrast, Prince-bythewood has often delivered the compelling character dynamics and creative manifestations of certain genre staples that make sure these films can live up to their potential. It’s why her 2000 motion picture Love & Basketball was so absorbing or her 2013 romantic drama Beyond the Light was downright enchanting. These titles delivered the emotions and narrative hallmarks you’d want out of these movies without coming off as mechanical or manipulative.

Big fish eat the little ones. It takes a lot of little ones to sustain the king of salmon — the voracious chinook.
The radical right’s clear victory in Italy’s election is a historic and disturbing moment in European politics. Formed 10 years ago, and with roots in a formerly fringe neo-fascist tradition, Giorgia Meloni’s Brothers of Italy party will dominate the most rightwing administration to govern the country in the postwar period. The third-largest economy in the eurozone and a founding member of the European Union, Italy has now become a beacon and a model for nationalist, authoritarian forces across the continent.
