Starting Our Day Together

Sometimes the most important race in life is the one you run for someone else.
Runner is the kind of movie that knows exactly what it wants to be. It is fast, violent, funny at times, unrealistic at other times, and built around an old-fashioned action-movie premise: get from Point A to Point B while seemingly everybody in between is trying to stop you.

Fall 2: Deadpoint is a 2026 survival thriller and sequel to the 2022 film Fall. Directed by Michael and Peter Spierig and written by Scott Mann and Jonathan Frank, the film stars Harriet Slater as Jax Hunter and Arsema Thomas as Luce.

Digger is a film that can be difficult to fully appreciate while watching, yet its performances and challenging questions give viewers plenty to consider afterward. Directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu and starring Tom Cruise, it combines dark comedy, environmental disaster, and backstage drama to examine pride, power, responsibility, and humanity’s capacity for self-deception.

Whalefall presents a frightening survival situation while exploring something many people understand: the difficulty of coming to terms with a painful relationship. I liked the movie, although at times the story moved too slowly.

I recently watched The Weight, starring Ethan Hawke as Samuel Murphy and Russell Crowe as Warden Clancy, and I thought it was a good movie not simply because of the action and suspense, but because beneath the surface are several life lessons worth thinking about.
