Glass Is An Ambitious Follow-Up To Unbreakable And Split, For Better And For Worse

Just like most items that get sold on TV infomercials, Glass offers viewers the chance to get two things for the price of one. In this case, you get both an Unbreakable sequel and a Split sequel in one movie! This means M. Night Shyamalan's long in development follow-up to his 2000 motion picture Unbreakable has finally come to fruition, an exciting proposition for many including myself given that I consider Unbreakable to be Shyamalan's best work as a filmmaker. Glass does not reach the heights of either the excellent Unbreakable or the pretty good Split, but it does work as a solid film on its own merits, though it is one that can't help but feel messy in some key respects that keep it from being truly superheroic.

Woah! Why Haven't More People Been Talking About The Intimate And Powerful Netflix Movie Blue Jay??

So far, Netflix's forays into the world feature films haven't been as successful as their TV shows and they've easily being overshadowed by Amazon's various box office and awards hits like Manchester By The Sea and Love & Friendship. But 2016 showed the company was capable of releasing some high-quality feature films such as The 13th (one of the year's best movies) and now Blue Jay helps solidify the idea that Netflix may just get a handle on the motion picture side of the entertainment equation yet. I have no clue why Blue Jay hasn't garnered more attention but make no mistake, it's quite the gem of a motion picture.

"You Couldn't Get Away With This Plot Twist In An Airplane Paperback": A Look At The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story

By now, the level of hyperbolic praise slathered onto The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story from both critics and audiences has reached the level of inescapable. Allow me to toss in my voice to such a chorus of rapturous commentary, because good Lord was this some excellently crafted television. Ten straight episodes that managed to be a riveting crime thriller in their own context and a fascinating rumination on race and gender related hardships. Sure, we all knew when we first strapped in for the first episode of this show exactly how it would end, but did any of us know The People v. O.J. Simpson was going to be this exemplary in every sense of the word?
