There are few movies around that take such huge risks: this is high-wire filmmaking, without a net of irony. Von Trier’s virginal heroine hurls herself into her marriage with a reckless, openhearted carnal joy that is unnerving to behold. What are we to make of this strange girl, who conducts dialogues with God (speaking both parts) and plunges into wild despair when Jan has to go back to the rig?...

On the other hand, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga showed the potential of LEGO games by further pushing the envelope in terms of scope, complexity, visuals, and atmosphere. In a sense, The Skywalker Saga made people realize that following the constraints of the material it was adapting held it back from its true potential. The LEGO games could be more than just loving recreations of popular franchises without losing the charm and wide-appeal that became its underlying identity....

RELATED: God of War Ragnarok: How to Level Up As in the last God of War game, God of War Ragnarok allows players to upgrade Kratos’ weapons as well as learn powerful new skills that can completely change the way that the weapons behave in battle.

The soundtrack used to be a key part of a movie’s public image. Every big-budget blockbuster had to have a tie-in CD with all the biggest bands of the era. While a lot of movie soundtrack albums still come out, they’re rarely big events like they used to be. Back in the 90s however, the music behind a film would say a lot about its public perception, for better and for worse....

What’s to keep the whole thing from flying out into space or crashing down to Earth? The upper half of the elevator gets thrown outward [by Earth’s rotation], and the bottom end is pulled down by gravity. Even if you cut it at the bottom, the ribbon would just float there. How would the elevator work? A climber [vehicle] would have two treads to pull itself up. It would travel at 193kph....

The vast majority of the infected people in those areas are too poor to afford the costly miracle drugs that can make AIDS a chronic disease rather than a death sentence....
