The texture of "Waiting For The Barbarians" is an interesting one because it uses the backdrop of what should be North Africa but seemingly in an apocalyptic setting of sorts but a retro one in others (where technology doesn't exist). The eyes of the piece are through Mark Rylance's administrator.

Rogen understands how to share the screen and be generous, even when he is playing against himself.The premise of "An American Pickle" reflects this literally. Ben's great grandfather returns to modern day Brooklyn because of a pickle mishap. If you actually think of it, the set up is very heartbreaking yet disturbingly and wonderfully nonsensical.

With a story like "Summerland" which is set during World War II in a small town near the Cliffs Of Dover, it becomes more about the texture of acceptance and perception. It is the story of a woman who lives her life alone for a reason, burned in a way by love, which leaves her alienated just as much by the circumstance as she is by the time.

The simplicity of a film is sometimes a hard aspect to accomplish. While some of the circumstances in "The Pool" are a bit exaggerated, its end result is not.

"Lake Of Death" reflects these ideas in a persistent veil of childhood trauma which is not necessarily balanced within the story. As with some horror movies, it uses the concept of a location, usually far removed from the normal vein of living to act as a surrogate vision for these troubling issues that bubble to the surface and explode in a vein of action.

With "Greyhound" which details a crossing of the Atlantic corridor during World War II, Hanks plays the captain of a ship (called "Greyhound") whose job it is to oversee and in a way cut off attacks on the ships (including the supply chain) by elusive U-Boats.

With her new film "The Old Guard" premiering on Netflix, Charlize Theron finds a balance but is able to maintain the theatrical feel. While the freedom allowed in the storytelling might be tricky in theatrical, it has undoubted effectiveness here.

The texture of Korean horror is pushing elements beyond their breaking point in being both uncomfortable but mythic and cautionary in a certain way. "Metamorphosis" is a play on that idiom but it leans a lot on the basis of "The Exorcist".

The humor initially has possibilities especially with the pre-credit sequence but just a simple path of that black comedy is not enough since it keys into a straighter line as the film goes on. The film by trying to be tongue in cheek takes itself almost too seriously.
