Setting a heartwarming tale of young love against a civil war backdrop may not be an obvious choice, but our general rule is if you put Nadine Labaki in anything it is going to work. On the outskirts of town the 1982 Lebanon War is heating up, but in the classroom teacher Yasmine (Labaki) is trying to maintain as normal and calm a situation as possible. Meanwhile Wissam (Mohamad Dalli), a boy in her class, is trying to pluck up the courage to tell his friend Joana (Gia Madi) he has a crush on her. Rotten Tomatoes gives it 90%

It’s not often we have the opportunity to discuss a big budget Russian film, but that is exactly what The Blackout represents. Unknown forces have caused cities around earth to be isolated from one another. As far as Moscow knows, it is the only remaining habitation with power and survivors. It is up to them to repel the unwanted visitors. There are so far no ratings.

There’s a psycho hunter on the loose tracking down teenage girls for sport in a rural town. An equally knowledgeable hunter’s (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) daughter is missing.
