Why I Fought to Save 'Raised By Wolves'
Every once in a while, a piece of art comes along that is so expertly crafted, so beautiful, and so profound it touches everyone who sees it. There's the Mona Lisa, the Statue of David, the Sistine Chapel, and then there's 'Raised by Wolves,' the science fiction masterpiece created by Aaron Guzikowski. As soon as I saw it, I was obsessed. It took up every free second, from the moment I woke up to the moment I went to bed. I was incapable of thinking about anything else. I watched the show on a loop, examining all of the intricate details, the plot points, the character's expressions, cave paintings, and strange alphabets, gleaning new pieces of information as I did. There were so many layers that it would've been impossible for me to fully understand what I was watching, but I did it anyway.To many people, this might sound strange. But I wasn't the only one who couldn't stop. There were thousands of fans trying to decode 'Ancient Mithraic,' arguing over canon and fan theories. They'd swarm social media, speculating about what would come next. We had found something special, and we shared a bond over it, creating more than just a fandom.

Why 'American Gigolo' Puts the Original Film to Shame
It's hard to forget young Richard Gere, with his ridiculous burgundy sunglasses, his jacket thrown over his shoulder, walking down the street wearing pants so tight you could see everything. Even 42 years later, his film, American Gigolo, still has sex appeal. How could it not? He was a handsome brunette with the perfect profile and a cocky attitude--his swagger, his refusal to be owned or even loved; it was intriguing, and the film didn't shy away from open displays of sexuality. There was phone sex, real sex, and nude pillow talk. Gere played that camera like a fiddle. Now there's a new gigolo in town, played by Jon Bernthal in a remake television series with the same name, and while we don't mind looking, there's a lot more to it than sex appeal.

'The Patient' is a Gamechanger in a Market Saturated With Serial Killers
Who would've thought that Steve Carell, the star of 'The Office' and the '40 Year-Old Virgin' could put on such a memorable performance in a psychological thriller? He's the master of dad jokes, witty enough to get us laughing our heads off and awkward enough to drive a punchline home. Thrillers don't seem to be his thing, but 'The Patient,' which also stars Domnhall Gleeson, is riveting and raw, and it benefits greatly from Carell's style. It wouldn't be the same without him. Carell plays a psychologist who wakes up to find himself chained to the floor in a strange room. He was abducted by one of the patients he was seeing, a serial killer who is desperate to find the treatment he needs. Currently, Carell's fate hangs in the balance. We're not sure where we're going to go yet, but we don't mind guessing.
