Wounded and on the run, Charlie is forced to make a pit stop in desolate New Mexico where she tries to clear the name of a trucker framed for the murder of a local.
Overall, this show ain’t blowing my hair back, but the part when that trucker started singing… that really got me.

Royals by Lorde
After finding themselves ensnared in a death trap, seven disillusioned castoffs must embark on a dangerous mission that will force them to confront the darkest corners of their pasts.
Overall, I liked it but I did feel pretty robbed by the marketing, if you know what I mean…
★★★½
The story of August Pullman – a boy with facial differences – who enters fifth grade, attending a mainstream elementary school for the first time.
I’ve avoided this film like the plague because it felt a lot like disability-tourism: “Wouldn’t it be AWFUL if you had these challenges in YOUR life!?”
But it doesn’t play like that at all. I think it might (not so) secretly be a Christian metaphor about love. The love that exists when you set aside differences and accept other’s short-comings alongside your own. You know?
I’m an atheist but even I know we need more of that in our world.
★★★★
