The Drop
Release Date: January 13, 2023 | Hulu
SYNOPSIS:
Bob Saginowski (Tom Hardy) tends bar in his cousin’s pub and looks the other way when local mobsters use the joint as a temporary bank. His simple life takes a complicated turn when he finds a battered puppy. He asks his neighbor, Nadia (Noomi Rapace), for help nursing it back to health, and a mutual attraction sparks between them. However, a robbery at the bar and the return of Nadia’s abusive ex force Bob to face the truth about those he thinks he knows best — including himself.
REVIEW:
The scattered performances are indicative of The Drop’s larger issue: It simply doesn’t know what tone it wants to convey. What starts as a tightly wound dark satire quickly unravels into a loose, directionless drama. In fact, much of the film’s dialogue was improvised, which is a technique totally at odds with the film’s prickly, air-tight premise—a high concept that is anything but vague and loose. This hangout vibe is also jarring when taking into account the film’s positioning as a scathing social commentary. Your biting critique of toxic masculinity might not land as hard if your performers are feeling it out take after take. The Drop’s meandering 90 minutes are entertaining enough, but they’ll inevitably have you wishing that it really was as bold as dropping a baby on the concrete.
CAST: Anna Konkle, Jermaine Fowler, Aparna Nancherla, Jillian Bell

When most of the passengers are taken hostage by dangerous rebels, the only person Torrance can count on for help is Louis Gaspare (Mike Colter), an accused murderer who was being transported by the FBI. In order to rescue the passengers, Torrance will need Gaspare’s help, and will learn there’s more to Gaspare than meets the eye.

But good vibes and high hopes are cut short when, shortly after their arrival to paradise, Lex accidentally drops her friend’s (Aparna Nancherla) baby in front of all their friends. Paradise becomes purgatory for our couple as recriminations, passive-aggression and old wounds begin to permeate the island reunion and throw Mani and Lex’s future into deep uncertainty.

Movie Review 2019 Trouble Is My Business
Popular reviews
More
    Review by Wilson  ★★★   2  
Tom Konkle's Trouble Is My Business is a really fun film noir pastiche, that is played just-about straight enough to succeed as a hardboiled private detective movie, but it is also a fairly successful comedy, particularly if you are an obsessive reader of Raymond Chandler, James M Cain and Dash Hammett. The film is consistently funny, particularly when it is at its most serious, while all of the noir touches made me smile. The wry voice-over, the black and white photography, the melodramatic performances, the rising body count, the baffling plot. The film is perhaps a little too broad, but I found it charming. Sure it is a Konkle vanity project, but I found myself wishing him to succeed and he mostly manages it. A low-budget success, playfully playing with a genre I love.

Trouble Is My Business [Review]
Trouble Is My Business [Review]
Trouble Is My Business is a loving Film Noir fan letter. But, it also isn’t. The movie walks the same kind of line that the Coen Brothers towed in The Man Who Wasn’t There. You can take the style and aesthetic of a beloved subgenre and tell a modern story. But, not too modern. Trust me this will make sense.
Personal favorite Vernon Wellsplays Detective Tate. He’s a vicious man stylized as a 1940s…

Now I want to look though the filmography of Ed Begley.
-
-
-
-
(Hopefully by this point you’ve finished all 98 minutes of 'Plus One’, the kind of person who isn’t bothered by spoilers, or are just deciding if you still want to keep watching.)
-
-
-
-
-
When the credits were rolling...I decided I wouldn’t include the film in my Tumblr feed...mainly because I thought Alice‘s behaviour towards Ben was quite insulting (Maybe more caustic than insulting).
Then...after rewatching half of the film...I realised that Ben was the one insulting, and it’s likely Alice using that tone during conversation because that’s how they built their friendship.
Some instances:
Ben letting Alice know that he would like some privacy with Jess.
Ben waking Alice up by rolling down the window while she was still leaning on it. Not to mention not helping her out to the front door with her things after a night of excessive alcohol consumption
(I wonder if I had been more forgiving towards Ben rather than Alice in the beginning)
Even if the film initially didn’t WOW me after viewing it...I still would have been thankful that Netflix added it to its roster. Because...haven’t I been looking for a film that this one exactly fills? Rated M, It’s fresh, and the actors have done their jobs well.
PS: Is this right? The cumulative earnings of the film....is $44,112? Is that because it had a limited release at the cinemas...and....various streaming platforms have acquired it?
--------
HIGHLIGHT:
INT. BEN'S CAR - NIGHT
BEN is driving and CHUCK is shotgun.
CHUCK Whew.
CHUCK unbuckles his seat-belt.
CHUCK I need to lie down.
CHUCK twists his way towards the back seat.
BEN Dad. Dad, I'm driving.
CHUCK That energy...
BEN Okay, just--just--
He gives his father a push so he could squeeze between the seats, while keeping an eye on the road.
CHUCK I got to get...
BEN Can you tuck--tuck back there?
CHUCK gets himself comfortable. His bum up in the air.
CHUCK Ben, I'm so glad you're my best man.
BEN I'm not your best man, Dad.
CHUCK (OS) You're so cool. You are the best, man.
He sits up.
CHUCK Best man. Now I get why it's called that. Whew.
He taps his son on the shoulder.
CHUCK I can't wait for your wife.
BEN Here we go.
CHUCK leans forward.
CHUCK Do you think it's going to be Alice?
BEN No, Dad.
CHUCK Why? She's so wacky.
BEN We broke up.
CHUCK Oh no, that's too bad.
CHUCK incessantly taps BEN's shoulder.
CHUCK Hey. Hey, Ben.
BEN Yeah?
CHUCK Ben.
BEN Yeah, Dad?
CHUCK Do you hate Gina?
BEN No. No, Dad.
CHUCK Tell me the ------- truth! Do you hate Gina!?
BEN I don't hate Gina!
CHUCK Then why are you so mad about us?
BEN is tongue tied for a moment.
BEN I'm not mad, Dad. I just---Dad, you're a little bit hard to root for sometimes.
BEN collects his thoughts.
BEN When you a Mom split, it really messed me up. And I just decided I didn't want to be like you guys. I just wanted to find the one and---and hang on to her forever.
He lets it hang there.
BEN Now I'm completely alone. So...And you're just moving on to your next family.
CHUCK Ben. I'm sorry that your mother and I splitting up hurt you so much. What she and I had was great. I'd be nothing if I hadn't met her, and I wouldn't have you. And, buddy...
He clamps his hand on BEN's shoulder.
CHUCK ...as long as I'm alive...
He gives the shoulder a couple of pats.
CHUCK ...you will never be alone.
CHUCK lays down and sighs.
BEN keeps his eyes on the road as he absorbs his father's words.
CHUCK (OS) Hey, Ben?
BEN Yeah, Dad?
CHUCK Can we do drive-through?
BEN squints. A bit odd...but okay.
BEN Sure. Is there somewhere you want to go?
CHUCK (OS) Zapburger.
BEN Where is---What---What is Zapburger?
CHUCK (OS) They get a patty made with organic soy meat, and they cook it with lasers.
BEN smiles and nods.
CHUCK (OS) It's the perfect burger.
--------
My verdict of the film: 7/10 (it got an extra point because there was surprisingly so much more to it...when I rewatched it. I’ll probably have a think about why I didn’t feel much satisfaction in the end to give it an 8 or a 9.).
Link to the timestamp commentary: None (There wasn’t a specific reason that compelled me to note down my reactions...real time.)

A Year in Review: The 31 Best Episodes of TV of 2019
There's never been more TV than this year. Thanks to the launch of new streaming services like Apple TV+ and Disney+ (with more to come in 2020!), there is an infinite number of hours of content out there. And while not all those TV shows are worth a watch, mot seasons of shows genuinely contain at least one great-to-amazing episode. The 31 episodes listed below are the ones that stood out the most; that either became part of the cultural conversation or were not well-watched but still resonated in a way that deserved more attention. Whether it was the writing, the acting, a visual moment or a hilarious scene, these selected episodes rose above the cut to show what TV can do in this unprecedented era.
31. “Striking Vipers,” Black Mirror Season 5, Netflix 
Tumblr media
30. “Smell Ya Later,” Killing Eve Season 2, BBC America
Tumblr media
29. “Chase Gets the Gays,” The Other Two Season 1, Comedy Central
Tumblr media
28. “Refugees,” Ramy Season 1, Hulu
Tumblr media
27. “Finish It,” The Deuce Season 3, HBO
Tumblr media
26. “Chapter 7: The Reckoning,” The Mandalorian Season 1, Disney+ 
Tumblr media
25. “Life’s a Beach,” Pose Season 2, FX
Tumblr media
24. “Easter,” Better Things Season 3, FX
Tumblr media
23. “Chapter 8: Overview,” The OA Season 2, Netflix
Tumblr media
22. “Reborn,” Servant Season 1, Apple TV+
Tumblr media
21. “Stories,” Broad City Season 5, Comedy Central
Tumblr media
20. “Blondie,” High Maintenance Season 3, HBO
Tumblr media
19. “The Trials and Tribulations of Trying to Pee While Depressed,” Euphoria Season 1, HBO
Tumblr media
18. “The Bad Mother,” Big Little Lies Season 2, HBO
Tumblr media
17. “405 Method Not Allowed,” Mr. Robot Season 4, USA
Tumblr media
16. “1:23:45,” Chernobyl Season 1 HBO
Tumblr media
15. “Dundee,” Succession Season 2, HBO
Tumblr media
14. “Episode 9,” Mindhunter Season 2, Netflix
Tumblr media
13. “401 Unauthorized,” Mr. Robot Season 4, USA 
Tumblr media
12. “Take Me as I Am, Whoever I Am,” Modern Love Season 1, Amazon
Tumblr media
11. “Part Four,” When They See Us Season 1, Netflix
Tumblr media
Ava DuVernay's achingly painful "When They See Us" miniseries about the persecution of the Central Park 5 is capped off with its brilliant final episode; a showcase for Jharrel Jerome ("Moonlight") who undergoes a transformation here unlike any other actor on TV this year. Playing Korey Wise, we see Jerome go from happy-go-lucky New Yorker to a victim of the vicious prison system who is beholden to his truth despite its consequences. It is a harrowing 88 minutes of TV that is both devastating and beautiful, carried on the shoulders of Jerome's unparalleled performance.
10. “A God Walks Into a Bar,” Watchmen Season 1, HBO
Tumblr media
The penultimate episode of "Watchmen," the buzziest show of the fall, is the most Damon Lindelof has been during this stellar season of TV. "A God Walks into a Bar" is a revealing episode in the same way as the last season of "The Leftovers," Lindelof's previous project. The episode reveals that for all of its surrealness and commentary about race and gender in our world, the "remix" of the popular comic book series is, at its core, a love story. Lindelof sets the episode as a classic cosmic joke but as it goes on, it exposes itself to be full of heart and emotion; about two people from different parts of the universe (and different parts of the space-time continuum?) connecting. At a bar. Over beer, conversation, and eggs.
09. “Strawberries,” Ramy Season 1, Hulu
Tumblr media
Unlike anything depicted on TV, "Strawberries," the peak of Hulu's comedy "Ramy," created by standup Ramy Youssef, is told in flashback, tracking a young Ramy in the days leading up to and after 9/11. Seeing the event play out from the perspective of a young Muslim child in middle school is heartbreaking and raw; a highlight that is thoughtful, meditative, funny and surprising.
08. "Shook One Pt. II,” Euphoria Season 1, HBO
Tumblr media
It's not until "Shook One Pt. II" that "Euphoria" finally clicks and finds its groove. Playing out at a carnival, the episode raises the dramatic stakes for the show's young cast, where creator Sam Levinson's bold aesthetic choices complement the intense tension on display. Part thriller, part romance and all edge, this episode of "Euphoria" features stellar performances from Zendaya, Hunter Schafer, Jacob Elordi and more.
07. “Volume 7: The Magician" + "Volume 8: The Hanged Man,” Too Old to Die Young Season 1 Amazon
Tumblr media
It was hard to pick just one episode of Nicolas Winding Refn's twisted noir cop saga "Too Old to Die Young." The controversial auteur made a perfect thing for streaming age; somewhere between a film and a series. NWR said himself that you can watch the episodes out of order, or start from anywhere, which is sort of true. But it's the back-to-back episodes towards the back half of the series, "Volume 7: The Magician" and "Volume 8: The Hanged Man," that stand out the most; a chaotic and insane set of events that turn "TOTDY" on its head.
06. “Posh,” PEN15 Season 1, Hulu
Tumblr media
"PEN15" is hands down the funniest show of 2019 but it's the Hulu series episode "Posh" — a thoughtful and insightful examination of racism in the 00s — that is the show's highlight. In the episode, BFFs Maya (Maya Erskine) and Anna (Anna Konkle) make their own version of the Spice Girls with a group of mean girls at their middle school for a class project. They force Maya, who is Japanese-American, to play Scary Spice — the only woman of color in the insanely popular British girl group, because Maya is the only girl of color among them. It sparks a deep divide between Maya and Anna that is explored in the short episode with maximum effect.
05. “DC,” Succession Season 2, HBO
Tumblr media
Over the last few years, Americans have made Congressional hearings they're own sort of perverse reality show. So, it's no surprise that "Succession" would go there and put members of the Roy family on display and under scrutiny. The main targets here are Tom (Matthew Macfadyen) and Cousin Greg (Nicholas Braun), who have to answer a number of questions about Waystar Royco's handling of alleged sexual assaults and crimes involving the company's cruise line. "Succession" had been building up to this moment since early Season 1 and the payoff is both cringe-worthy and hilarious.
04. “The Great War and Modern Memory,” True Detective Season 3 HBO
Tumblr media
Filmmaker Jeremy Saulnier's ("Green Room," "Hold the Dark") crack at a TV show is nothing short of spectacular. With "The Great War and Modern Memory," he establishes an unsettling mood and tone to the third installment of "True Detective," a somber story about two cops investigating the disappearance of two young children over the span of several decades. The episode is poetic and solemn, featuring two mind-blowing performances from its stars Mahershala Ali and a career-best Stephen Dorff. They're both in tune with what kind of show they're in, selling creator Nic Pizzolatto's writing, which coming out of the mouths of other performers would likely sound dreadful.
03. “Episode 1,” Fleabag Season 2, Amazon
Tumblr media
Filming a dinner scene is not as easy as it looks. For the first episode of the second season of the outstanding "Fleabag" both writer/creator/star Phoebe Waller-Bridge and director Harry Bradbeer hit out of the park. It's a whirlwind of an episode where PWB's Fleabag character literally tells the audience Season 2 is a love story, which, of course, involves the so-called Hot Priest (Andrew Scott). "Episode 1" is fast, zippy, and manages to get most of the show's cast in one room, featuring wonderful performances from not only PWB and Scott but also Olivia Coleman, Sian Clifford and Brett Gelman. It's a chaotic half-hour of TV that has a kinetic energy unlike anything else this year, taking an awkward family dinner to its limits.
02. "Series Finale Part 2: Hello, Elliot,” Mr. Robot Season 4, USA
Tumblr media
The series finale of “Mr. Robot” is as emotional as it is shocking. Sam Esmail sticks the landing with his hacking drama, turning a story about a vigilante and his crew trying to right the wrong world into a personal journey of a young man struggling with deep trauma. It’s a beautiful sendoff, that is fully satisfying and a magnificent accomplishment of modern television.
01. “Never Knew a Love Like this Before,” Pose Season 2, FX
Tumblr media
"Pose" proved itself to be an uplifting and hopeful show, uprooting cliched and tragic stories about trans people we've come to see on screen and instead, opts to show us something beautiful. But its "Never Knew a Love Like This Before" that is 2019's best episode of the year — a heart-wrenching and unexpected boom and a reminder that trans people, especially trans women of color, are often in danger. Here, Candy (an out-of-this-world performance from Angelica Ross), who orbited around the main cast in the series, is murdered. She returns to her funeral in spirit, having in-depth conversations with her friends, enemies and frenemies. Pray Tell (Billy Porter) honors her by moving forward with her wish — a lip-synch category for the balls that he previously rejected. It's a beautiful story about the history of queer culture that's personalized in an unexpected way.
