NEW MOVIE: Split

M. Night Shyamalan has had an interesting career. Despite making a splash with his debut film The Sixth Sense, after the release of The Village, he began receiving more critical backlash from critics and audiences alike to the point where his name became a punchline in the movie world. However, with 2015's The Visit, he seemed to have gained much of his goodwill back with the horror-comedy. With Split, it would appear that M. Night Shyamalan has established his comeback.

Rated PG-13 for disturbing thematic content and behavior, violence, and some language

NETFLIX REVIEW: I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore

People suck.

At least it can appear that way at times. A few weeks ago, my mom and I were almost crushed on I-4 when a U-Haul trailer crossed into our lane without acknowledging our presence. I saw a guy impersonate a YouTube channel just yesterday promising a giveaway of different devices if people followed him, even though he had none of that. All these nuisances and annoyances that donate to the long-debated Problem of Evil. And that's where Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize winner I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore begins, with a montage of nursing assistant Ruth (Melanie Lynskey, Two and a Half Men, Coyote Ugly) running into the world's small evils: the people in the grocery store who leave things on the ground or cut you in the line; the guy who spoils the end of the book for you; the folks who leave their dog's poop in your yard; and even the ornery old woman who has hate in her heart till her last dying breath. "Everyone's an asshole," Ruth concludes.

Rated TV-MA for strong bloody violence and language
