A month into the new year, and we find ourselves already at the end of season one of And Just Like That…, a “new chapter” of Sex and the City. Who among us, TFE readers, has been watching Sex and the City: Redux? A better question perhaps: Who among us hasn’t?

the severed head of "The Green Knight"
Normally, Arthurian legends are sword-and-sorcery fables. The latest Arthurian tale The Green Knight, which is primarily about Arthur’s nephew Gawain (Dev Patel) keeps the sorcery, yet there’s little swordplay. Unless you count a terrifying axe that keeps waiting to be swung. The Green Knight may be less action-oriented than other such tales but it's a visually stunning, cerebral dissection of the Messiah complex and its ties to monarchy.
Despite Gawain not being religiously devout, he’s still eager to become a knight at his uncle’s Round Table...
Sunday, April 24, 2016 at 12:00PM Eric here, with a review of the new Tom Tykwer film in theaters, A Hologram for the King, an adaptation of the best seller by Dave Eggers. It's the tale of a desperate American businessman near the end of his professional rope, who travels to Saudi Arabia to sell a holographic teleconference system to the king.
While Tom Hanks isn’t at the peak of his popularity these days, he remains one of the biggest movie stars alive. So it may feel surprising that this film is being released with very little publicity, dumped rather unceremoniously in “arthouse” cinemas...
