Stream Now Don't Die to watch the story of a Man Who Wants to Live Forever

Don't Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever (2025) explores the ethical problems of rejecting nature and the timeless fascination with life in an attractive idea. In Chris Smith's direction, the film tells the journey of a man obsessed with overcoming aging, played by Mac Davis with a passion that perfectly conveys the character's anxiety and self-importance. Beyond his physical condition, Johnson appears to have been dealing with some severe mental health problems that have even come close to self-harm. When he is unable to use the extreme physical strategy, I worry that he will once more put himself through possibly much greater psychological stress. The documentary Don't Die 2025 on Afdah did a great job, giving a very fair assessment of the topic and his strategy for preventing aging or trying to live forever. The fact that he is an influencer is the most sad part. Many individuals will fall for his views and supernatural medicines because they are appealing to the concept of living forever, only to be misled.

Wicked Review: With Romance, Fantasy and Musical

Image
The Wicked Witch of the West was an iconic movie villain for decades, before Gregory Maguire's 1995 novel turned into one of Broadway's most successful musicals, Wicked. Now, more than 20 years after its premiere, Jon M. Chu (Crazy Rich Asians, In the Heights) directs this big, upbeat studio musical that's both a faithful adaptation and a fresh reimagining of the theatrical work. Cynthia Erivo plays Elphaba, the green-skinned outsider who eventually becomes the Wicked Witch. She's an outsider when Elphaba goes off to Shizu College with her sister, Nessarose (Marissa Bode). Elphaba and Nessa are the daughters of Munchkinland's mayor, Fexper Thropp (Andy Nyman). He shuns his eldest son, preferring his younger brother, who has a completely normal complexion and is wheelchair-bound. It's a burden Elphaba has carried all her life, and her unexpected college admission is just one of those life decisions that she can't make at first. The other students mock her en...

Blitz Review: A Solid Saoirse Ronan but Steve McQueen’s WWII Story Feels Too Tidy

Image
Anyone who grew up in Britain knows the story of Britain's unwavering fighting spirit during World War II. In schools, children were repeatedly drilled into the story of how the great British nation bravely maintained a united front. Women took over the jobs that men conscripted into the war could not do, families were encouraged to grow vegetable gardens for "victory", and more than a million people, most of them children, were evacuated from the vulnerable city. Perhaps the most enduring image is that of Londoners taking refuge in Underground stations during the German air raids known as the Blitz , can be streamed on Afdah . There was a sense of community, neighbors and strangers alike protecting each other and shielding them from the fires of hell. Despite all the horror and destruction, a strangely rosy picture of wartime Britain prevails. Nothing's better than the good old days, they say. Steve McQueen's Blitz offers a fresh counterpoint to this nostalgia....

Have You Seen Small Things Like These 2024?

Image
Small Things Like These is an intimate, layered character study set in Ireland, with a focus on what matters: Bill Furlong (Cillian Murphy) is a local coal supplier with five daughters with his wife. A few days before Christmas in 1985, while delivering coal to a convent, he comes across a horrifying sight: a young woman being dragged, screaming and kicking, into the church by her mother and several nuns. The film, based on the novel of the same name by Claire Keegan, never says so directly, but given the politics of the time and the country's widespread Catholic practice, it doesn't take much to guess that she is an unwed mother. The image haunts Bill, forcing him to confront difficult memories of his own childhood and the religious foundations of this close-knit community. Tim Mielants' film is haunting and contemplative, its solemn rhythms making the first hour agonizing. Through effortless cutting, we flash back to a young Bill living with his single mother on his emplo...
