MTV’s “Rock the Cradle” is like heroin

May 2, 2008Leave a comment

I have a very dangerous addiction to MTV’s Rock the Cradle, the American Idol style show where the children of music stars compete for viewer votes. I would compare this to a drug addiction because, while it’s probably destroying my brain to watch this trash-tastic series, I just can’t stop tuning in. It’s the ultimate guilty pleasure!

Few directors in the world speak the language of film quite as fluently as Steven Spielberg. With Disclosure Day, he brings his signature sense of wonder, along with John Williams’ score and Janusz Kaminski’s cinematography, but the sci-fi story doesn’t quite live up to the sum of its parts. With the success of young directors like Kane Parsons and Curry Barker changing the horror genre, Abhinav Sunder Nayak’s Mollywood Times couldn’t have arrived at a better moment. Young director Kane Parsons’ viral YouTube short film series comes to the big screen with A24’s Backrooms, exploring the eerie mundanity of liminal space and the internal turmoil of its original characters. YouTuber-turned-filmmaker Curry Barker’s Obsession is like Get Out for “nice guys”, blending funny, disturbing, and highly entertaining horror with surprisingly impactful themes about male entitlement, mutual consent, and female autonomy. As someone who was feeling pretty burned out on Star Wars, I greatly appreciated that The Mandalorian and Grogu was a standalone story. It’s much easier to have fun when every scene isn’t trying to set up a spinoff, create an applause break for a legacy character, or push forward a larger phase of a cinematic universe. It feels bold to release a movie like The Drama when media literacy has declined so much. This is now a Carl stan account. Project Hail Mary hits a perfect balance between sci-fi, humor, and heart. We get the enormous scale of space, but also a story grounded in emotion, due in large part to a phenomenal performance from Ryan Gosling. Sam Rockwell is a man from the future, trying to save humanity from an AI-driven technological apocalypse in Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die, from director Gore Verbinski and writer Matthew Robinson.
